Team Overview:<\/b> “You know the strength of our team is going to be on the blue line,” said head coach Phil Grady. “We surely lost a big class and will have a lot of young guys coming in eager to play this year. Losing Gus(Katsuras) is tough but it may be a good thing in helping all of the guys get more involved in the outcomes of games — sometimes he was so good it just felt like some guys on the team were waiting for him to take over and make a decisive play. We don’t have that kind of guy this year that we know of yet so we hope to be more balanced as the kids come together.” <\/p>\n
Grady certainly has reason to be optimistic about his defensive corps. Senior John Gordon returns as one of the premier defensemen in the conference. When healthy he is a force in both ends of the ice having scored five goals and twelve assists for seventeen points in just twenty games. Sophomore Kyle Rouston (3-16-19) was among the leading scorers last season and looks to build on his rookie success this year.<\/p>\n
