Clarkson always brings forth a solid hockey team from the Frozen North, and this year should be no exception.
The Golden Knights are solid on the blue line as they return six defensemen to their team, including Hobey Baker candidates Brian Mueller. Mueller is the quarterback on the power play and adds a lot to the offense as well as playing a solid defense.
The offense also returns many players and features Marko Tuomainen--this "Flying Finn" is a proven 20-goal scorer. In addition Claude Morin, who was Kent State's leading scorer the last three years, has transferred to Clarkson and is eligible immediately.
The only question mark for Clarkson will be in net, as the Knights lost goalie Jason Currie to graduation. There will be a three-way battle for the job among Jonathan Parrella, Dan Murphy and Kerry Blanchard, but if the offense and defense execute as they are expected to, then nobody should even be concerned about the goalie situation.
