Lowdown

Few teams lost as much firepower as Edouard. Most of their scoring and playmaking talent has either graduated or left school. 

Too bad, since the team had been on the upswing in the first half of last season before academic woes and injuries derailed them.

Guards

Three solid scoring guards are gone, leaving shooter André Bureau as the only seasoned player on this unit. 

Forwards

Nearly as depleted as the guards, Edouard's frontcourt hopes rest on 6-5 athletic talent Louis-Philippe Lagredelle, who had a good summer for Brookwood's traveling team. 

He won't replace the outside touch of star wing Marc-André Côté, but Lagredelle brings energy, shot-blocking and rebounding.

Coach: Yannick Mercier, 6th year.

2003-2004: 4-12. 7th place.

Outlook

Coach Yannick Mercier's squad could struggle to equal last year's total of four victories. But they also have a rare opportunity to make the playoffs with this year's expanded six-team format.
