The Stamp has several potential college players with them this season and should get plenty of attention from several NCAA and ACHA programs over the course of the season. The Stampede recently named their captains for the 2016-2017 season in Hunter Soden the 1996 player that returns from last seasons squad and Oscar Lande who was recently brought over from Sweden where he had been the captain of his team, Flemingsbergs IK J-20 last season. “I think both guy’s fit what we were looking for as leaders. Hunt is a great guy in the locker room and leads by example day in and day out. He gives you what you ask of him on a daily basis. Oscar is a natural leader that has experience at a high level of play and has the skills and work ethic to back it up.” states coach Beavis on the pair.
