Haverhill Cup Mock Draft

The 2016 Haverhill Cup is right around the corner.  Those butterflies and nerves you are all experiencing are completely normal in anticipation.  New arrivals are coming this year as we put all of our eggs in one basket expecting an entire team of guys we don't know to travel 3 hours, book a hotel, and spend the day shoveling snow off a court.


That leaves Brett, JB, and Jared to pick up the remaining teams from a roster that currently is:


Ron, Griff, Ward, Nick, Demaio, Billy, Johnny, Favro, Brendon.   With Steve Jack and Tony as goalies.


1. Nick-  Poor Nick is 6 years removed from his only H.C. trophy.  The game has changed, and maybe he hasn't been able to adapt.  Still he will go #1 to Brett, who will want to score every goal for his team and steal all the glory.


2.  Ward- Of course Jared takes Mikey, with delusions of bringing back the dream team a couple years ago and snagging Ron in round two.  This pick back fires horribly.


3.  Ron- JB quickly takes Ron, mostly to spite Jared.  A very common two time champion had quite the performance last year.  He's overdue to bail out last minute.  I say he's the one to throw a monkey wrench in all of this.


4.  Griff- The Co-MVP of last years cup (not sure if the award was formally handed out), Griff and Ron will be once again paired together.  Perhaps this will finally be enough for JB to win, if not I'm sure he'll pretend the cup doesn't matter to him.


5.  Johnny- Easy pick here, Johnny and Jared will look to keep pace scoring with Ron and JB.  Suddenly Brett's 30 mock drafts are blown up and he realizes what a terrible mistake picking up the defensive defenseman 1st overall was.


6. Tony- Probably the best goalie on the board, a new strategy of "defense wins championships" is formed.  Brendon is sitting next to Brett at BWW during this pick and is a little perplexed as to why he was overlooked.


7. Billy- Ugh, even Brett knows this draft is a mess.  Trade talks immediately are underway.


8. Steve- What a positive guy!  Jared and Steve have probably lost more street hockey games than any other player/goalie combo ever.  Is there a way to check that on the database?  Another no brainer, the Haverhill cup is just too long of a day for Jack.


9. Mike D-  Once again, this had more to do with Demaio sitting next to JB during his pick.  Everyone is losing interest in the draft anyways.


10.  Jack-  Borges tries to pick Favro, claiming he doesn't want a goalie this year.  But after 15 minutes of half joking banter, Brett just writes Jack down on paper.


11. Favro- You should see the look on Brendon's face at this point.


12. Brendon- All captains suddenly realize we are going to get crushed by this mystery traveling team.
