Re: Plattsburgh State Hockey 2010-11 - "We still have to fine tune some things..."
that looks like a tuffffff schedule, where are the Oz games??
No idea, but I can almost guarantee one will be the 27th or 28th of January. It always falls on the Atlantic City Indoor racing weekend.
There is also more balance this year as there are 13 home and 13 away games. However, of those away games:
vs Norwich (at Middlebury)
vs Middlebury/Elmira (at Middlebury)
@ Norwich
@ Middlebury
@ Williams
The start of 2012 will be tough for the Cards
Cardinal Class
Utica, Babson, Castleton (not sure who the pairings are)
Next weekend Castleton, Skidmore
Next weekend @ Middlebury, @ Williams
Next weekend @Cortland, @Oswego (should be)
Hard to say how tough of a schedule it will be....
Williams loses 3 of their 4 scorers, but still has Purdy....
Middlebury?? who knows
Skidemore while not great in 2010, still has a lot left in 2011
Castleton.....verdict still out.....
Babson......will be tough.....
Utica.....had a total of 6 points between their graduating seniors (2) and played in a whole 19 games (combined)
I imagine Curry will be in there somewhere as well....and should rotate to Curry this year, but time will tell.....it will be interesting to see how a full season with the Cardinal JV does for Curry.
I still like our chances in 2011....some big loses, but some key guys back as well. There isn't the flash of Satim (yet), but in todays game you need a lot of blue collar hockey players. While he didn't score a lot Ryan Farnan will be another top player next year. Jensen (X's 2), Craig, Kudo, Vick, Jobb.....not bad. We've seen what Josh can do when he is focused, and losing only 1 defenemen will help big time where it matters most. As I said earlier, I think this is a team that will have something to prove, not sure thats a good thing for opponents.
Noteable Freshman vs Carreer Numbers
Jason Kilcan 24GP: 8-5-13 124GP: 52-83-135
Dave Young 24GP: 1-3-4 99GP: 23-26-49
I know there are more but don't have all the stats.
Sometimes some of the best Cardinals take a while to come into their own....and while they may not be the Bournazakis brothers, if Plattsburgh does land their big recruit these two will be a real force for 3 years together, take it to the bank.
