"These recruits are coming in with experience both at the junior level and internationally. I want to thank my staff for their hard work and for putting in endless hours towards our recruiting campaign. They did a great job and we are looking forward to getting our new Warriors on the ice this fall."

She totaled 28 points in 2007-08 and 24 points the previous season while serving as team captain. Baldin is due to graduate from Loyola Catholic Secondary School in June, where she played four years of varsity hockey and led the team to four straight Region of Peel championships.
Laramee-Paquette played two years for Les Cheminots, a Junior AA team out of St. Jerome, Quebec. She aided the team to a first-place finish in 2007-08 and finished third in the league in scoring (25-36--61) after wrapping up the second-place 2006-07 campaign as the fifth-leading scorer. The Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, native will graduate this year from CEGEP de St. Jerome, where she was named Student of the Year in 2006 with excellence in biology and geography while earning Athlete of the Year honors three times.

A native of Kingston, Ontario, Fisher will graduate from Frontenac Secondary School where she participated in five different sports for the Falcons and was a member of the honor roll all four years.
A 2008 silver medalist as part of Hockey Canada's Under-18 national team, Brian spent the 2007-08 season with the Notre Dame Hounds in the Saskatchewan Female Midget AAA Hockey League. She led the league in goals-against average (1.25), wins (17) and shutouts (6) during the regular season and finished third in minutes played (1053). Brian went 9-2 with a 1.92 GAA and three shutouts in the SFMHL playoffs, leading the team to a league championship and the Western Shield title.

The Warriors are going to roll some teams this year. It's next year that I worry about.
