FMC Central Scouting released their annual rankings of this years tournament roster. And for the fourth consecutive year Ryan Oliver graced the coveted number one position. Although not a surprise to many, some were sceptical heading into today's announcement after Ryan's slow start to the Brooklin Blades season and lack of FMC championships to his credit. Many are looking for him to add that final piece of hardware to his mantle at this years FMC.

Ryan remains at the top of the FMC record books in goals and total points, and unless he suffers an injury during or leading up to this years tournament he will likely maintain each of those records. Onlookers point to his soft hands and elusive speed and quickness as the successes behind his game, and although his defensive game is almost non-existent, those who have drafted him in the past three years have not done so for his defensive abilities or lack thereof.

The question still remains whether or not he can get the job done. FMC alumni believe that Ryan would flourish under captains Matt Snowden and Steve Seedhouse, where he will not be required to play as big of a leadership role and rather can focus solely on his offensive output.
