Bismarck, ND. Every off season, the players that you say goodbye to are always special in their own way. For example, number 31 Ryan Farragher left his mark on Bobcat hockey history with a 3-0 win over Fairbanks in the 2010 Robertson Cup championship. The reason why these Bobcats are such an early season surprise is because of young superstars in the making. Such as Filip Starzynski, who has proven to be a big terror for opposing teams. Also on the Sheriff’s early season surprise list is Chaska, Minnesota native Thomas Burke, who is a big reason why the Bobcats only have three losses. He hasn’t opened up his five-hole very often. He stays very reliable in net and very angled against opposing shooters. When Head Coach Sedevie needs to give Burkie a rest, he can call on Bismarck Century product Aaron Nelson. The former red, white, and blue standout has a chance to play a very key backup role. Tyler Richter, a Bismarck native, can be another deadly weapon in a cast of cats that has the ability to put the Central away early in the season.
