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.
