The Fargo Force has finally released its tentative roster. The coaching staff will be forced to shave the roster down to 23 players following the Fall Classic. There are only 10 returning players, so there will be plenty of new faces in town this fall. The following 26 players will report to camp on September 13.

It has been confirmed that Nick Romanick missed invite-only tryout camp with an upper body injury. He is not expected to miss an extended period of time. Oleg Yevenko missed the invite-only tryouts because the travel costs from Belarus would have been too steep.
The Fargo Force has also hired another addition to their staff. Long-time Moorhead High School coach Terry Schercliffe will join the staff as an assistant coach. Schercliffe was an assistant under Terry Cullen at Moorhead High. Most recently, Schercliffe has worked with the Moorhead Youth Hockey Association.
Todd Berning will be leaving the organization. Berning spent his time with the Force by taking care of the daily business operations. Fargo has not yet named Berning’s replacement and there is no set timetable to fill the position.
Comments
Haar is committed to Northeastern for either 2011 or 2012
You are correct! The Fargo Force press release missed that (and a couple other things). Thank you very much for the catch!
