<p>"<em>Last season was a rough one for our team. We lost our best player, [player_tooltip player_id='2211281' first='Stockton' last='Nelson'] to a broken hand in our 3rd game of the season. He was able to come back for the final 3 games of the regular season but with a young team returning only 2 players that had seen real varsity time we went 1-19. Despite this we got a ton of experience for our guys and seemed to improve as the season progressed. This off-season was a good one for us. We played in a few team camps and a league in Minot.
