HONORABLE JEDI

Ah yes, the Jedi order or what’s left of it anyway. These laser-sword swinging space wizard-knights were the coolest thing to hit the theaters in the 70s and were well ahead of their time. So who on the team can compete with these badasses?

Luke Skywalker- Andrei Svechnikov

Svechnikov might actually be a Jedi in real life. Let’s be honest, half of those goals he scored this season were out of this world. Those lacrosse goals? He needed the force to get those in. But just like Luke Skywalker in the original trilogy, he still has a lot to learn and can continue to grow and be even more powerful.

Obi-Wan (Ben) Kenobi- Jaccob Slavin

Ben Kenobi showed us a taste of what a powerful force user can do. He also had a little sass that gleamed from time to time. Kenobi also managed to defend Luke and the others from one of the most powerful villains in movie history. Slavin has this ability to defend. He can hold the ice from several odd-man rushes per game. He is just that good.

Yoda- Justin Williams

Do. Or do not. there is no try. Wiser words have never been spoken by a little ancient green man. Yoda was there when the Order fell, he was also there to see hope in Luke. He was also around well in the height of the republic before the Clone Wars. Justin Williams has been around even longer. And with him in the lineup; certain, victory is.
