Season outlook: The Phoenix lost a lot of firepower, but the team has such depth that it will hardly skip a beat this season. Plenty of returning players saw time a year ago, even it was only a game here and there, and that experience and depth will help moving forward. Spruce Mountain has shown a penchant for playing a speed game in recent years, and that should continue, while the back end is as strong as ever.
