The '03 division features numerous players who attended the YHH Minor Division NOW Prospects Combine in June, indicating that the overall talent level of this division is high. 

In addition the traditionally successful programs OS Cattle and Steeldogs, the 2004 MN Blades will play up in the Showdown, and could throw a wrench into the works with a solid performance. 

Prediction: Steeldogs Teal > O & S Cattle

Layton Liffrig, Steeldogs Teal

Exceptional player on both ends of the ice. Capable of scoring the pretty goal and then leading the backcheck on the next play.

Jacob Martin, 'Sotans

Sneaky in the offensive zone, Martin will be a key cog for the 'Sotans this weekend. 

Mason Johnson, OS Cattle

Nearly two months after lighting up the NOW Prospects Minor Combine, Johnson will try to lead the OS Cattle to the Showdown title. 

Max Zupfer, Steeldogs Teal 

Zupfer offers Steeldogs Teal another viable scoring option on a team with offensive threats throughout the lineup. 

Alex Bump, OS Cattle

A pure scorer, Bump's quick release and accurate shot will give opposing defenses a headache this weekend.  

This division could be Machine Orange's to lose if everything falls into place. The Orange has a solid lineup with virtually no holes, from the goaltending on out.

One team that could challenge Machine Orange is Euro American Red, which features a bevy of scorers capable of pulling off the thrilling victory.

Prediction: Machine Orange > Euro Red

Sam Scheetz, Machine Orange

Scheetz does anything and everything well on the ice, and refuses to get flustered in high-pressure situations. 

Danny Nelson, Euro American Red

Nelson supplements a smooth skating stride with the drive and grit to score the garbage goals that every successful team needs. 

Jake Fisher, Steeldogs Teal

A goal-scorer's goal-scorer, Fisher has that unteachable nose for the net. 

Rocco Seymour, Hometown Hockey 

The strong-skating Andover defenseman will hold down the blue line for Hometown this weekend. 

Javon Moore, Machine Orange

Nicknamed 'Diesel" for his powerful skating, Moore combines great balance with a knack for finding holes in the opposing defense and making plays.
