The biggest contribution of the seniors to the program was not any individual moment, but the attitude they brought into the locker room. The Crimson as a team was much more cohesive on and off the ice this season, exhibiting a chemistry not as present before Mazzoleni took over as coach.
"I am grateful for the contributions of every single one of the seniors," Dominic Moore said. "They have all been great."
The seniors have seen the program in some of its darkest times, enduring a hideous a 0-8-1 ECAC start their sophomore season, and had to adjust to a new coaching regime halfway through their tenure. But the Crimson has righted its ship. The consolation match-up this year very well might be the championship game next year, since Dartmouth is not losing any integral player to graduation.
If Dominic Moore is smiling after that game, you can bet that somewhere Steve will be, too.
