Here
are the rosters for the Masters and Supermasters teams for the trip to
Vail. As you can see, both teams have just enough players, but we do have
some big problems:
1. There are only 2 defensemen on the Masters team
2. There are only 3 midfield lines on both teams. Since we have to
expect at least 1-2 no-shows on each team and we typically have a couple of
guys on each team (especially midfielders) will pull a major muscle, we
seriously need more depth at midfield.
I have been approached by several non-Midd who have asked if they could play on
our team. In 1997 we went out to Vail with several non-Midd players, but
in '98, '99 and '00 we were ALL-BLUE. However, I feel that this year is
like our first year. We have a great shot at continuing to go to Vail
with 2 teams, but if we don't have enough players this year I think we will end
up having to drop our Supermasters team and field only a Masters team. We
probably wouldn't be able to recuperate from this and in all likelihood we
would end up only going with a Masters team in future years.
Proposal: I propose that this year we pick up a few non-Midd players for
each teams. If I don't hear any strong objections by next Monday, I will
start to recruit. Of course, we will make any non-Midd players sign a
pledge that they will uphold all the Middlebury traditions and they will have
to learn and sing "our" songs!
