Having guys that are #2 or #3 on the roster getting some playtime is huge. Not only are those kids going to remember that but they're also going to be seen by coaches and they'll be able to get some quality feedback.
Also I thought it was very good that with a lot of these kids there wasn't an ounce of quit.
It seemed like everybody was making the best of a bad situation and doing everything they could to get the most out of it.
