Head coach Pat Hennelly had praise for his rookies—who will most likely spend a good portion of this Canada West season on the bench.  “They all played well,” he said.  “ I was particularly impressed with the play of Colin Carson (2nd year, setter, Prince George,  BC).   Carson played for Canada’s Junior National team this past summer.
