The Hitmen are a scary team with everything you want. Star players? Look no further than Lucas Smith and Adam Bachmeier. Depth? They have a solid 4 lines to throw at you and as good of a top 6 defence as anyone. Goalie? 17 year old Antoine Hadfield put together an amazing regular season and playoffs with a combined 46-8-1 record and their backup Jordan Stromkins is only 16 and as good as anyone. Rookie Willie Tanner has put together a solid playoffs (11-12-23 in 18 games) after having 43 points in 62 regular season games. This is a team that can score and keep the puck out of their net, using their transition game to keep pressure on opponents. They cruised through the WHL during the playoffs and come into the Memorial Cup with a ton of confidence.
The Hitmen do have a key injury to contend with as one of their OA's, Brandon Whynott is out day-to-day with a bruised hand.
