The St. Louis Scarecrows are hoping to create a surge in success, thanks to few young key players that could make a more significant contribution this season. Alexa Johansen, the second overall pick, brings dynamic offensive skills, while Kris, the rookie goaltender, showcases maturity and consistency in the net. Wyatt King, the sophomore first line center, adds playmaking and defensive prowess to the team. An honorable mention goes to Jack Booth, a waiver wire pickup, for his defensive versatility and valuable contributions on offense.

Alexa Johansen's speed and scoring ability, Kris's reliable goaltending, and Wyatt King's two-way play will hopefully elevate the team's lacking performance from last season. Booth, a surprise addition, looks to prove his worth with tenacity and adaptability. Together, these players form a promising core, providing the Scarecrows with a well-rounded lineup for years to come. As the team continues to develop, these rising stars and unexpected gems are positioning the St. Louis Scarecrows for a successful future in the SMJHL.
