It appears that the Beavers will have an experienced D-Corp coming back. It will be interesting to see if the freshmen turning sophomores will be able to step up and fill in some of the scoring lost. The biggest hole to fill will be the one in net. Fans of the Beavers have been spoiled over the last four year with Michael Bitzer in net. The two returning goalies have played a total of three games, only one of them as a starter. Zach Driscoll is coming in from the USHL and will have three years of eligibility left after playing the 2016-17 season with St. Cloud State.
