The Tigers will also turn to Benoit Morin (12, 12)for scoring. The only returning player to score 20 goals last season, he should lead Princeton's attack.

The Tigers suffer an equally huge blow on the blueline with the graduation of the ubiquitious Steve Shirreefs. Co-captain Darren Yopyk, with his size and experience, hopes to partially fill the gap.

At least Princeton returns its top two netminders, Dave Stathos and Craig Bradley, who will platoon until the one who salvages any wins for the Tigers emerges.

12. Union

Rounding out the ECAC preseason poll are the Skating Dutchmen (3-26-3, 1-19-2, 12th). Battling back from the worst start in program history since Union made the jump to Division I, the Dutchmen, if nothing else, hope to cause a few upsets.

Under the guidance of Coach Kevin Sneddon '92 for the second consecutive year, the Dutchmen should show some signs improvement over the long term.

However, without scoring ability up front, it's likely that Union will spend another season as the bottom-feeder for the ECAC.
