It’s safe to say that we all assumed that the career trajectory for second round draft pick Justin Schmidt was going to start with the Monarchs team. With Justen Glad, Aaron Maund, Chris Schuler and David Horst all ahead of him, it made perfect sense. Well, America is the land of opportunity and after one game in the regular season, that opportunity came to Justin.
He started three of the next four games and after another 4 on the bench he started or played a role in the next 6 games.
