Here is a brief overview of what each ECAC team lost to graduation, is coming back and the freshmen. Did not try to put in much analysis, just a listing by team based on the 2015 season Finish. I may be missing some players who have left their team. Feel Free to comment.
Clarkson brings back much of their scoring and key players. LGT LGT LGT
Clarkson: Graduates 2 good Dmen in Matteucci and Shields, a good forward in Lambert , little used Boss, Horn in G
Coming back is IMHO the ECAC's best Senior Class: Ambrose (AL 3rd Team), Fast (AL 1st Team) on D, Mercer (AL 1st Team), MacAulay (AL 3rd Team) and Howe F
Junior Class: Has some scoring punch with Bannon and Gillham F, Jacobson is good on D and Johnson is the backup G
Sophomore class: Is led by Harmon (All Rookie Team) on D and Titus, Bellerive, Fournier and Lefler F who I hope can contribute more scoring than last year and in goal Tiley (ECAC Goaltender of the Year, Rookie of the Year and AL 1st Team)
Finally they have an excellent Freshman Class with 4 of the top 10 scorers from the PWHL: McGill, Gabel, Vinkle and Mariani F and Keenan and Pozzebon on D
The keys to Clarkson: Stay healthy, Get the freshmen acclimated to Div I hockey (especially Keenan and Pozzebon on D), and get consistent scoring out of the sophs and frosh.
