With Don Vaughan serving as interim athletic director, Assistant Coach Stan Moore will serve as interim head coach for the Raiders this season. Before assisting at Colgate, Moore was head coach at Union for two years, and will probably rely on that experience to help him coach a strong Colgate team.
The Raiders’ biggest loss on offense is with the graduation of leading goal scorer Scooter Smith. This year will see senior Kyle Doyle and junior Adam Mitchell leading the offense. Colgate has also added size to their line-up with two big freshmen forwards.
Six defenders will be returning to the team this year, and leading the pack will be captain Rob Brown. Brown, along with Joey Mormina, will bring experience and leadership to the Raiders’ blue line. The Raiders have added Eamon Del Giacco, a transfer from Fairfield, to their lineup.
Steve Silverthorn will be minding the net this year for the Raiders. David Cann is also returning for Colgate, and will be competing for the starting job. The Raiders are returning this year with more experience, and the team will be looking toward making it to Albany in March.
