St. Lawrence is hoping this year will be more successful than last years ninth place finish. To do this, Head Coach Joe Marsh plans on having the team work on their special team play, something that they struggled with last year.
The Saints will be returning two experienced goaltenders in Kevin Ackley and Mike McKenna. Also returning are five blue liners; Ryan Glenn and Tony Maci will provide solid defense for the Saints. The St. Lawrence offense will also pose a threat to opposing teams. Captains Rich Peverley and Josh Anderson will both provide scoring and leadership for the team. The Saints are also looking for sophomores John Zeiler, T.J. Trevelyan, and Adam Hogg to play well after their remarkable performances last season.
The start of the Saints season is full of tough competition that could possibly set them up for disappointment if they fail to perform well. During the first two months of the season St. Lawrence will have to face Denver, Maine twice, New Hampshire, and Colorado College. If the Saints do not fare well against their non-conference opponents, it is possible that will not have the confidence required to compete effectively against their strong ECAC competition.
