The banquet program concluded with Bolding introducing next year’s captains. Bolding tabbed will-be senior forward Melissa Rundlett as the next captain after Leclerc had held the “C” for the last three seasons.
Rundlett will be joined by fellow senior assistant captains Julie Fortier, Amanda Wilks, and Sarianne Lynn who will all wear letters for the first time in their careers.
Norwich will tentatively open its 2011 title defense the last weekend in October when it hosts the 2nd Annual East/West Hockey Classic. The Cadets will play perennial powerhouse Elmira and then follow up with a national championship rematch against RIT. Defending ECAC East Tournament champion Manhattanville will also be in attendance and will play RIT the first night and then follow up with Elmira the next day.
