We went as he went last year offensively. We will rely on his leadership and experience in the offensive end to get everybody going.

Derek came back with a lot of confidence and we're expecting more leadership from him this season and I think he's capable of that.

We will need to settle in and mature very quickly. We will need to be very poised in those games and find a way to be successful early, before we hit the Ivy League portion of our schedule. That's where the maturity of our older guys, as small as that class is, will have to come into play.

We are very pleased to add another big strong defenseman that will bring leadership and experience to our team. Chad played 79 games last season making him a reliable horse for the upcoming year.

Eddie will start on the outside and brings a lot of experience and leadership. He is quick, skilled and knows the game. Doug will start up front and he sees the field well and distributes the ball. He is experienced and continues to improve, but I want him to shoot the ball more.

Cam brings a lot of good things and a lot of positives to the field by how hard he plays and how smart he plays.
