Arthur Hollinger
 
Arthur came to the Rhinos highly touted from AAA Midget powerhouse Team Illinois.
Having won at every level:
5 consecutive state championship titles with 3 different teams
Darien Huskies (3 state titles)
Wisconsin AAA (1 state title)
Team Illinois (1 state title)
#2 ranked AAA Midget team in the country (\’06-\’07 Team Illinois)
 
Hollinger didn’t disappoint when he put on the orange silver and black posting a regular season record of:
27-1-2 with 4 shutouts 2.16 GAA .916 Save%
And playoff record of:
6-0 with 1 shutout 1.96 GAA and .931 Save%
 
Hollinger was a force in net and should be arguably the top goalie in the WSHL.
 
“Arty is a true competitor he thrives on competition and a challenge, he was one of the big reasons we won a championship last season.”
-Head Coach Cory Herman

LaBounty showed his Minnesota roots as a player never more so than in the post season where he was named the Thorne Cup MVP after back to back 2 goal, performances in the championship series against the Phoenix Polar Bears.

Kevin came to the Rhinos at mid-season in December, he was attending classes at Colorado State when the itch to play hockey came.

GP 33   G 10 A 16 Points 26
 
“Kevin came to us late in the season and was an impact player as soon as he put on a jersey, a big strong physical player that scores big goals at crucial times.”
