2012 Pre-Season Outlook

The Flying Dutchmen will be seeking to continue a winning tradition as they seek to repeat as champions of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA).

A year ago the Flying Dutchmen won the regular season MIAA title, captured the league's NCAA qualifying tournament and competed in the Division III national championships.

Captain of the team is John Cannon of Traverse City (Traverse City West HS), the lone senior on the pre-season roster of eight players. The only other upperclassman is junior Jason Vanderklok of Scotts (Vicksburg HS). The rest of the team is comprised of sophomores.

A year ago as a first-year player, sophomore Collin Breit of Muskegon (West Michigan Christian) led the Flying Dutchmen at nationals. Cannon and sophomore Evan Telzerow of Grand Rapids (Forst Hills Northern HS) were members of Hope's national tournament team.
