Showing plenty of pluck and an unwillingness to back down, the Blades made their older and bigger foes march to their beat many times during the fourâ€"game battle. But in the end, Caledon Canadians‘ savvy and penchant for drawing penalties were the tellâ€"tale factors. The Blades‘ inability to turn the other cheek wasn‘t surprising, if one takes a quick scan of their 19â€" man roster. Nine of them were rookies. Another four were really in their first full seasons after playing sparingly the year before. That leaves only six with a year or more of junior B expeâ€" rience coming into this campaign. Up against a Caledon squad loadâ€" ed with 19 and 20â€"yearâ€"olds, they cannot be dissatisfied with taking the Canadians to four close games before bowing out.

With four of five backliners not returning the club‘s No. 1 priority for next season becomes the blueline.

But the most important piece of the puzzle for next season figures to be Ireland himself.
