Dirk Van Soelen not only showed leadership on the field but also off the field by always bringing his best to practice as well as being one of the easiest players to coach, always bringing a positive attitude to every situation. On the field, Dirk brought a level of confidence with the ball unlike any other as he weaved through players making fantastic passes and even scoring a few goals. Dirk just seemed to know exactly what to do when he had the ball on his foot and alot of the teams success at the Regional Championships was due to Dirk's play.

During the indoor season, Kendall Straatsma became one of the teams best ‘shut down’ defensemen. What made Kendall extremely effective this season was her timing and control into challenges, rarely did she concede a foul, or not come out of a challenge with the ball. This ability to produce turnovers aided the women's indoor offence which Kendall also found herself a part of scoring many timely goals. Her ability as a two way defenseman was a crucial part of the team’s success at Regionals.
