This year in Clax there are many players who will look to make a name for themselves but here are my top 5 players to watch as the 2013 season approaches. 5. Steve Fryer: Fryer was the Inferno’s top choice in the NLL supplemental draft and will have a lot of pressure on him this season.

The Demons though have been quiet this off season as they have not made any trade and feel confident in the team they had from last year. With their first draft pick the demons drafted Joe Hadis Maracle who they hope will give their offense more depth. Maracle…
