In our final look at Team Navy's forwards we highlight Bobby Kramer of New York who is eligible for the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. We also have notes on Doug Rogers of Massachusetts, Marco Ruggeri of Michigan, William Colclough of Florida and Corey Giroux of Maryland.

Doug Rogers (2006), F

Notched 47 points (18-29-47) in 28 games for St. Sebastian's last year .. relatively strong on his skates and has good vision .. passes the puck crisply .. doesn't demonstrate much touch around the net .. can put some sting on his wrist shot .. isn't overly mobile, in fact his overall foot work needs to be improved .. wore #14 .. USA Select 17 totals (6, 1-0-1-16).

Marco Ruggeri (2007), F

In 72 games last season for Belle Tire and coach Chris Coury, he had 41 points (16-25-41) .. boasts a nice hard slap shot .. his wrist shot can handcuff a goalie with its' velocity and the quickness in which he releases it .. must become more physically involved with out the puck, especially when in his own zone .. work habits in general need to be improved .. wore #15 .. USA Select 17 totals (6, 1-0-1-4).

William Colclough (2006), F

Chipped in with 52 points (19-33-52) in 69 games for Florida Jr. Everblades .. explosive speed with very good acceleration and mobility .. gets himself in proper position to capitalize on scoring chances .. finishes his checks solidly .. needs to concentrate on accepting the pass as he bobbled it on occasion .. wore #16 .. USA Select 17 totals (6, 1-1-2-0).

Bobby Kramer (2006), F

This coming season he will be joining Taft School after a pretty successful campaign with the NJ Devils in which he racked up 45 points (29-16-45) in 25 games .. a pretty handy penalty-killer as he effectively closes down passing lanes and doesn't allow the point man much time or space .. a smooth skater with above average acceleration that moves effortlessly with or without the puck .. wore #17 .. USA Select 17 totals (6, 1-3-4-0).

Corey Giroux (2006), F

Scored seven times and added four helpers in 23 games for the National Sports Academy last season .. played wing, but looked especially weak on the faceoffs when ever he had to replace the center .. is much too passive without the puck, especially noticeable is the hesitation he has with closing the gap on the point man .. fairly good overall speed and mobility .. needs to use his linemates more effectively .. too often his pass attempts were of the low percentage variety and were intercepted or they were in the feet of his teammates .. wore #20 .. USA Select 17 totals (6, 0-1-1-4).
