Coach Steve Potvin said there will be internal competition with the influx of new talent, starting with Friday night's opener against the Henderson Silver Knights in Nevada.
James Kelley Special to the Arizona Daily Star It’s not just a new season for the Tucson Roadrunners. It's the start of a season of change.
Tucson has added players like forward Laurent Dauphin, alternate captain for Tucson in 2018-19; forward Adam Cracknell, who has played in 998 professional games; and goalie Jon Gillies, who has seven professional seasons under his belt. Tucson and Henderson split a pair of preseason games. The Roadrunners opted to stay in the Las Vegas area for the week rather than return to Tucson.
“He’s great,” Crotty said of Potvin. “He’s a great motivator for everybody and he’s got tons of passion for the team and he’s always on guys making sure everyone’s striving to get better every day and really lean into the role that everybody has, so yeah I think he’s done a great job and I think he’s only going to continue to get better just as he asks of us.”
