PREVIOUS MATCHUP:

The two teams met a week earlier in an exhibition game where Ontario saw a 5-2 victory.

ONTARIO NOTES:

Junah Croteau looks to be an offensive catalyst. "His work ethic, elite vision, and skill set will make his teammates around him better," said Head Coach Jeremy Blumes.

Jackson Wade is a reliable, steady, defenseman that plays hard every night. "Along with being a presence on the back end, he has an equally big impact off the ice with his positive personality, and team-first mentality,” said Head Coach Jeremy Blumes.

SAN DIEGO NOTES:

2003 Defenseman Dylan Travis will be returning this year after missing a majority of last season due to injury.  He has been on the ice and training all summer and looking to make an impact right away.  2001 Goalie Justin Lakin is returning and the Sabers expect big things in net out of him again. 2004 forward Carson Brown joined the team last season while they were in Tampa at the Hub City and he is coming back ready to make a splash.  Carson had the end of the season last year to adjust to the game at the junior level and kept improving with each game.
