| 0:00.0 | Okay, we are back to work here to talk about the development of the young players in the Northwest Division. |
| 0:05.7 | A lot of young players that are pretty interesting in this division, the criteria. |
| 0:10.0 | Generally, we're going to talk about anyone with three or fewer years of experience, |
