Since you brought it up, some early comparisons are now possible since most of us have seen these teams in action against the biggests names and with the tv coverage you could have seen Maryland, N. Carolina, Duke, Gtown, Hop, and Virginia in town, just this weekend.

Plenty of teams I haven't seen but here goes.

I've got Tierny, McGinnis, and Mulligan tops in goal with Breslin the most overrated.

Gill is awesome, Powell is much more than a name, biggest surpise is Combs at Maryland.

Middies have to include Dusseau, and Wedin is number 1 in faceoffs. Lots of other good ones.

Brett Harper continues to impress at longstick for Maryland even though not featured as much as Sweeney at Gtw.

Damien Davis is a treat to watch and Mark Koontz for Virginia does it all - clears, close, and wing on the face offs.

This ought to get it started!
