\u200b\u0093I consider this a pre-season tour where my goal is to do some experimenting and to let the players have lots of playing time,\u0094 said Pellerud. \u0093It is a golden opportunity to invite two new faces (Booth, Gayle) who have had good seasons with their NCAA teams and it was a chance to give them another chance at the senior level.\u0094
