Nagoya Sea Dogs have made a huge splash on the transfer market today that should make them contenders for next season championship.

"It would be very hard to say that we will be contenders but that is our whole plan from the start was to make this a good team going forward into next season since we started so late in the process that we knew that this season was a lose." commented Manager Robert Bouchard as he talked about the new signing he made earlier in the day.

The new players are as follows:
From the Czech Republic; Matyáš Štipl age 16: He bring a large offensive up side to his game and a decent shot and playmaking ability. He should continue to improve his overall game since he is still very young player but should put up some good numbers in the near future. Tranfer in for HC Steel Ants

From Latvia, Zintis Laimdots age 17: Another young player coming in for HC Steel Ants shows great potential as be a top scorer in the league. Will still need to learn his trade a bit but much like Stipl, he should give the team good numbers.

From Slovakia Matúš Mrštík age 16: Not as gifted as the other two players transferring in from HC Steel Ants but still shows a huge upside in his offensive game but might take more time to reach his full potential this transfer for Slovakia Dolnaa Sec Wikings should still benefit Nagoya Seas Dogs going forward.

From Slovakia Beňadik Civáň age 18: One of Four players transfering in from Slovakia Nováčany; Civan shows massive up side to his offensive game but lacks some touch with the puck that Nagoya Sea Dogs will need to be patience with this player as his touch will come with time but the question will be how long can Nagoya managers wait for this player to reach his prime. At 18 he could be a potential star by the age of 24 if he keeps working hard.

From Slovakia Valér Sklenčár age 18: Second of four players transfering in from Slovakia Nováčany. Much like his team mate he has huge offensive flare but lacks touch with the puck. Time will tell if this transfer will work in Nagoya's favor but it does improve the teams offense right away.

From Slovakia Bernard Biksadský age 16: another player from Slovakia Nováčany; Bernard is second youngest player to transfer from Slovakia Novacnay. He has good potential upside but currently isn't as offensive minded as the two 18 years Sklencar & Civan but does have more touch with the puck. He should be a well round player with a potential to continue developing his offensive ability.

Also from Slovakia René Polaščin age 15: Is the last player and youngest player from Slovakia Nováčany. Polascin is right out of their young development program is a very well rounded player. He will need to continue to develop his skills but has shown great ability with the puck which might have lead to Nagoya beach bosses taking a gamble on this youth player.

From Slovenia Darko Zajc age 23: Is a very talented stay at home defenceman transfering form Czech Republic Vosy Karlštejn. He should be a huge boost to a current make shift defense that needed more support. At 23 he still have his best days a head of him but will be a senior member of Nagoya Sea Dogs.

From Czech Republic Ivo Vágner, age 22: Also comes from Slovakia HC Steel Ants. He brings senior leadership with his offensive talents but much like the other players from HC Steel Ants, he lacks some touch with the puck. He still have the best days ahead of him.

From Germany Theobald Uhlig age 16: Transfers in from Germany EV Landsberg 2000, this young player show huge offensive upside and descent puck presences. The future is bright for this player as long as he continues to develop.

From Slovakia Maroš Obranec, Age 22: He will be the superstar on Nagoya Sea Dogs that lacks any sort of star at the moment. He is the key signing of the day with all the other pieces being a nice complementary fit on the team. He transfer in from FC karorovce.

Rumors have another three players are about to sign with Nagoya Sea Dogs they are:

Luka Komarčević age 16: good all round youth with huge potential if he continues to progress in training.

Konstantīns Troksnis age 27: Will provide senior goaltender for the next few years as they younger goals develop.

Dmitriy Churikov age 16: Another young player with huge potential upside on the offensive side of the puck should provide much needed offense and will complement those already signed.

When you look at all the move today made by Manager Robert Bouchard, you can see a clear theme in what he was trying to do and that was build up the offense with young talented players as he overhauls his team for a defense minded team into an offensive minded team. These signing will help the team move forward quickly but they still lack a star goaltender and still need to find a few more top notch defencemen if they are going to hold down the fort going forward.
