"Actually, there's not much of a difference between them at all. Both players pretty much play the same way," Capouch said. "Trevor relays what the coach's philosophy is, and he does it with a sense of renewed enthusiasm."

When talking to other players, the answers are the same: Trevor's a leader by example. Trevor's a quiet leader. Trevor's a great guy.

Perhaps a Lady Byng Trophy is in order? Not so fast, Allman said. Harvard hasn't won anything yet.

"Each weekend is the goal. That's the mentality. Lots of hard work, and very, very high expectations," Allman said. "If you're not aiming high, you're settling for mediocrity. One hundred percent has to be given every night."

But the Crimson isn't going to win every game, and the season is a long and hard one. Guys will get hurt, players will yell at each other, shots won't find the net... the list goes on and on. What happens then?

"That first loss will come," Allman said. "We're realistic. My role is to correct the mistakes we made. We've gotta put it in the past, push ahead and move forward towards our goal of Lake Placid."

Trevor's attitude and work ethic can be traced directly to his days at home in Ontario. Father Leonard and mother Doris instilled the hardworking principles in Trevor and his brother Brian that helped him get to this level.

"I owe it all to them--my principles, my morals, my hockey game."
