In no particular order the Redmen protected:

Adam Perroni - his father Eric and uncle Andy are former Redmen Mann Cup champs. GM Brad MacArthur described Perroni as a big body who is a threat on transition. He played minor in Whitby and suited up for the Green Gaels and the Whitby Warriors where in 2017 he played 19 games, notching 5 goals and 5 assists for 10 points. He also made an impression on NLL scouts as he was selected in the 2nd round by the Rochester KnightHawks.

Ethan Schott - MacArthur described him as possessing speed, toughness, and grit as well as a transition threat. He also played minor in Whitby and played for the Green Gaels and the Warriors where in 2017 15 games he registered a goal and five helpers. He was also on the radar for the NLL as a 2nd round pick of the Buffalo Bandits.

Keenan Cook - a Junior at Siena College in Albany, New York.  He is viewed as a reliable defender who sees the floor well, can transition the ball and plays smart with a knack for communicating and putting himself into good positions in all areas of the floor. He notched 8 goals and 9 helpers for 17 points in 20 games for the Warriors in 2017. Cook played minor in Clarington and spent time with the Shamrox and the Warriors. 

Connor Kearnan - a Senior at Canisius College in Buffalo, New York. He possesses ability as a natural scorer and is not afraid to go to the dirty areas of the floor for those chances.
