David "Not Goliath" Kaczowka LW Height...6'2" Weight...220lbs Birthdate...07/05/81

Keeps the top ten from gate to wire in the WHL east division this year, but he slowed down a little with a short month of March. With only four fights. Kaz managed to find three willing combatants as he took on Bruce twice, Ponte and Demone to end the regular season. Kaz fought early and often this season and figured he'd better make the most of his limited ice time which he did with big fight totals. Likely to be back somewhere next year as an overage, Kaz's toughness will likely be called upon whether it be in the playoff run or in the Memorial Cup with the Pats guaranteed a spot as tournament hosts..

Randy "You lookin' at me?" Ponte LW Height...5'11" Weight...202lbs Birthdate...03/27/81

As seems to be usual for Randy every year he fought more at the end of the season than out of the gate. Four fights in March for Randy including Kaz, Coulter, Lee  and Weller. Built like a brick sh** house, Randy is a physical presence who plays a regular shift and defends his teammates without question. Rumours have spread regarding Randy possibly not playing next year and I for one hope this doesn't occur.

Matt "I ain't no day at the beach" Sommerfeld LW Height...6'2" Weight...203lbs Birthdate...04/26/82

Two fights and a number three ranking for the rarely used Sommerfeld. Broncos have never been a team that develops tough guys and this season has been no different as Matt doesn't garner a lot of ice time unless it's a physical game or retribution is being sought which is too bad because these big guys can often develop if given some ice time. Matt did manage to find the time for fights with Smith and Lee.

Deryk "I say old chap" Engelland Defence Height...6'3" Weight...210lbs Birthdate...04/03/82

The tough and underrated Engelland plays a regular shift for the Warriors and still finds time to drop the gloves on a fairly consistent basis. Three fights in March included Olynyk, Jungwirth and Coulter. If the warriors are going anywhere in the playoffs, Derek will need to be physical as well as keep opponents honest in his own zone. Another of the exciting fighters who usually likes to stand back and throw 'em.

Grant "The full meal deal" McNeill Defence Height...6'2" Weight...196lbs Birthdate...06/08/83

Not a scrap for Grant all month, but this very tough seventeen year old proved early on this season that he is as tough as they come in the eastern conference and the league for that matter, earning a top five ranking even without a fight. Young guy plays a regular shift for the Raiders and makes opponents keep their heads up when he's on the ice.

Dean "That's King, not queen" Serdachny Defence Height...6'2" Weight...214lbs Birthdate...01/17/80

Solid puncher with either hand, Dean is a guy who logs a ton of ice time for the Broncos, while saving his scraps for guys taking liberties with teammates. Dean had two fights in March with Vandermeer and Segal. Not likely to see him fight much in the playoffs as he sees a ton of ice time in all situations.

Jeff "Shy coaltrain" Coulter LW Height...6'0" Weight...198lbs Birthdate...01/02/82

This guy is as game as they come. Not a gifted player by any stretch but he competes every shift to make something happen. Four fights in March included Grant, Engelland, Ponte and Olynyk. Teammates likely appreciated the effort put in this season by Jeff as the Blades were not gifted with a ton of toughness this season and Jeff provided much of it.

Bobby-Chad "Ya'all come back" Mitchell LW Height...6'2" Weight...225lbs Birthdate...04/04/82

In and outer, Booby doesn't get a lot of ice time in Moose Jaw which appears to affect his fight totals. Four this month including Thompson, Beechy, Suderman and Ludwar. Would like to see him stand back and chuck 'em a little more often rather than WWFing it.

Sean "4 leaf clover" O'Connor RW Height...6'3" Weight...203lbs Birthdate...10/19/81

Fought very little late in the season and it affected his ranking. As much an agitator as a fighter, Sean fought Bowen and Demone in March, but for the Warriors to compete in the playoffs, Sean will need to be a physical presence and play feisty. Big strong forward who plays a regular shift for the Warriors will also need to regain his scoring touch from earlier in the season for the Warriors to succeed.

Steven "Grumpy" Crampton RW Height...6'2" Weight...202lbs Birthdate...04/12/82

Another of Mooose Jaws feisty forwards who plays a regular shift and contributes on the scoreboard. He picks up the ten spot with two fights in March against Johnson and Olynyk. Not a true heavyweight however his agitating and fiery style often draws the ire of opponents and causes the scraps to happen. Like O'Connor, Steve will be a key cog in any success the Warriors have in the playoffs.
