Here we go again!

It is hard to believe that a new season of Jaguar Hockey has already begun. Actually, it has done more than begun,m it is already in full swing.

Squirt #3 will get things going for real on Sunday, when they travel to Winnetka to open seeding round play. Under Coach Scott Coash, the team boasts a wide array of players with a variety of experience -- from players coming out of ADM Majors who will be playing their first fall season of travel hockey to a group of players who helping Mite #2 to a very successful season and third-place finish in NIHL play last fall.

While it may take awhile for the kids to blend as one single squad, they are deep in talent and should go a long way in the NIHL Bronze division.

Speaking of teams with a lot of depth and an interesting blend of talent, Squirt 2 is getting ready to roll on its new season as well. With an informal scrimmage under its belts, Squirt 2 is about a week away from getting its seeding round play started against the Irish on Inwood Ice Sept. 29.

Like Squirt 3, Squirt 2 is being formed from several groups of kids who have played together previously -- although as a complete unit, this is also a team that has never been together before. Four of the kids played together on Mite 2 last fall, several more played together on Mite 1, and a group of four or five of the kids got their start in Jaguar Hockey together back in ADM.

A deep, talented Squirt Silver team that could seemingly give many gold-level teams a run for their money, Squirt 2 should be an entertaining team to watch.
