23- Man 2006 Minnesota Swarm Roster
December 15, 2005
Not much turnover. Only 6 new players which are improvements over what we lost, which means 75% player retention. There are teams in the league more respected like the Sting and Mammoth who nearly turned over half their teams. This is the team this year. I don't see much if anymore tinkering of the roster during the season unless we get nailed with injuries. With a year under the belt, the Swarm are playoff ready.
Not sure what will happen when D'arcy Berthiaume is ready to go, I imagine that is why we might have 12 defensemen.
Best 1-2 goalie tandem in the league.
Kasey Beirnes is ready to go, I saw him at practice on December 11th and he impressed me about how well he fit into the team. Even more, Kasey seemed to have a wealth of knowledge and was passing it on to his teammates with authority and ease. He looks well recovered from injury and should give the Swarm big injection of scoring.
