2011-12 Season Preview
by Derek Dunning, NU Sports Information NORTHFIELD, Vt. – Last March, the Norwich men’s hockey team found itself back in the Frozen Four facing the exact same St. Norbert team it defeated the year before in Lake Placid, N.Y. in a 2-1 double-overtime thriller to win the program’s third national championship. However, instead of the storybook ending that was 2010; the Cadets lost 3-2 and had their dreams of a repeat cut short while St. Norbert went on to win the 2011 National Championship the next day. NU enters the 2011-12 season with high expectations once again as the squad lost just two seniors from last year’s 22-6-3 team that won an unprecedented 13th straight ECAC East regular season crown, as well as its ninth ECAC East Tournament title. Legendary Norwich head coach Mike McShane will have 20 players back from last year’s squad including seven of the top 10 scorers as he embarks on his 17th season. McShane enters 2011-12 just 15 wins shy of 600 career coaching wins. He has accumulated an impressive 341-96-24 record for a .766 winning percentage while at Norwich. Heading the list of returners this season are junior forwards Pier-Olivier Cotnoir (Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec) and Kyle Thomas (Waltham, Mass.), along with reigning ECAC East Rookie of the Year in sophomore forward Travis Janke (Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan) The three were paired together on the Cadets’ top line for much of last season and became known as one of the most formidable offensive combinations in all of Division III. Cotnoir led the team with 21 goals to go along with 17 assists for 38 points, while Janke’s 39 points (12 goals, 27 assists) tied for the team-point lead with Scott Schroeder. Thomas listed third on the team in goals with 16 markers. Over the summer, Thomas made a name for himself at the Minnesota Wild Prospect Development Camp by scoring two goals in two games. “We think we’ve got a real good line with Janke, Thomas and Cotnoir,” McShane said. “We’ll probably start them off together and see how they do after they finished off last year together and did a nice job.” After that though, there is plethora of question marks surrounding where the rest of the offense is going to come for the Cadets in 2011-12. Junior forward Blake Forkey returns, but he’ll be looking for two new line mates after Chad Anderson graduated last spring and Scott 7

Schroeder didn’t return this fall. “We lost three real good impact players that probably won’t be replaced,” McShane said (2nd Team RBK AllAmerican defenseman Greg Eskedjian being the third). “We brought in some guys who we think can contribute but it’s going to come down to some of our upperclassmen stepping up and having better years. We’ve got so many ifs, and we need some of them to pan out. “ Forkey (8-14-22), along with classmates Tory Allan (4-7-11) and Colin Mulvey (2-4-6) will be counted on to rekindle their freshman form. Forkey (Boca Raton, Fla.) tied for the team lead in points, Mulvey (Worcester, Mass.) scored 10 goals and Allan (Davidson, Saskatchewan) produced nearly a point-per-game when healthy. “Mulvey has come back in even better shape this year,” McShane said. “He looks stronger and looks like he has even more speed right now.” Sophomore forward Chris Duszynski (Okotoks, Alberta) could also see an expanded role this season after he posted eight goals and 11 assists on his way to being named to the league’s all-rookie team during a promising first-year campaign. “Duszynski has come back in good shape after he battled through some injuries last year that limited him a little bit,” McShane said. “He’s got great hands inside and if he fulfills what we think he can do, that will be a big plus for us. He’s a goal scorer with a big frame that plays a physical game and he can certainly step up for us this year.” Rounding out the list of returning forwards are seniors Emmond Bell (6-7-13), Igor Martinez (2-5-7) and Tim Houston (4-1-5), as well as sophomores Shane Gorman (1-6-7) and Chris Paquet (2-2-4). “Igor played great for us last year as a checking line center and Tim Houston has looked good so far too,” McShane said. “Paquet, Gorman and Allan have played together a little bit and they have shown a little bit of chemistry so far. When they get going, they are really going, and they’re tough to stop.” Three new forwards will join the mix this year looking to compete for ice time in Gerard McEleney (Canton, Mass.), Nevin Lawler (Fitchburg, Mass.) and Doug Lindensmith (Sterling Heights, Mich.) who posted 33 goals and 65 assists last year for the La Ronge Ice Wolves of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. “Lindensmith looks to be a seasoned player,” McShane said. “He’s a 20-year-old freshman that has played junior hockey for a few years on a good team with some good players. He’s going to see some ice time early, and we’ll have to see who he works best with.”

2011-12 Season Preview “Nevin Lawler is a peppy player who plays with a lot of energy as does Gerard,” McShane said. “They’re both young, but I think they are going to develop and be good players here.” The Cadets’ defense corps should once again be a strong point with six returners that surrendered just 2.16 goals per game to rank fourth in the nation. The group includes three seniors headed by newly-appointed team captain Shawn Baker (Mont-Laurier, Quebec) who takes over the captain’s ‘C’ from Chad Anderson. “Baker is a natural leader that does it on the ice and off it,” McShane said. “The kids really respect him, and he’s a hard worker in the classroom. He’s likeable, but he’s very tough and competitive. There is a lot of weight on your shoulders when you become the captain by dealing with adversity throughout the course of the year, but I think Shawn will do a great job.” Baker registered 11 assists last season and will be joined by classmates Owen Carpino (0-4-4) and Pasha Kozohkin (3-3-6) as the leaders on the blue line. “I think experience on defense helps more than experience up front because you have guys that are used to dealing with the pressure,” McShane said. “We’re counting on Baker, Carpino, and Kozhokin to contribute and show right away the level the defense needs to be at as a unit.” Sophomores Francois Gatien (3-6-9), Chris Gour (0-4-4) and Zac Fulton (1-5-6) will compete for ice time with four new freshmen looking to break into the starting top six line up. “Frank Gatien has come back stronger this year,” McShane said. “He looks like he worked really hard over the offseason, and I think Fulton and Gour have looked strong so far as well in practice. Fulton has been steady, and Gour is a great puck handler.” The four new faces are Corey Hale (Montreal, Quebec), Alec Thieda (Rochester Hills, Mich.), Nick Poulin (St. Odilon, Quebec) and Bryce Currier (Essex Junction, Vt.) “Corey Hale is a good player, and we knew coming in he was going to be a good player,” McShane said. “How he adapts to the college game right away will be key. Bryce Currier is a big, strong kid that has looked good. Thieda has been steady, and Poulin is small in stature but he plays with a lot of heart.” With 10 defensemen on the roster, McShane acknowledged competition for ice time will be fierce and decisions won’t be easy. “The defense is going to be the toughest decision to make because they’re all pretty close,” he said. “Getting all of them in the lineup is impossible to do, but you do have
injuries and usually things have a way of working themselves out.” Sophomore goalie Parker Carroll (West Chester, Pa.) returns for his first full season in the Maroon & Gold. He joined the team at the semester break and helped spark a 14-game unbeaten streak after winning over the starting goaltender job. Carroll finished the year with a 14-1-2 record to go along with a 1.82 goals against average and a .899 save percentage. Freshman Matic Marinsek (Ljubljana, Slovenia) is expected to push Carroll for ice time in the crease this season after playing for the Slovenian Under-20 National team. Sophomore Chris Czarnota (Wakefield, Mass.) rounds out the list of goaltenders. “Parker is in good shape and worked hard over the summer,” McShane said. “He’s our ‘go to’ guy right now. Matic is working hard and has some ability. I think it’s going to take him a little time to adjust to our game, but he’s got great potential. Chris had an ankle injury over the summer but he came on last year and improved quite a bit through the course of the season so we’d like to see him do the same thing.” The Cadets were able to start official practices on Oct. 15 for the first time in over decade after the 12-year NESCAC/ECAC East Interlocking schedule agreement came to an end last year. Norwich will open its 2011-12 campaign this Sunday when it travels down to Hanover, N.H. to take on Division I Dartmouth in the first of two exhibitions to open the season. NU will also take on Trois-Rivieres next Sunday in its home opener at Kreitzberg Arena with face off set for 3 p.m. “I did enjoy playing the NESCAC schools, and it’s too bad that happened,” McShane said. “But, after the fact, you’ve got to move on and now we have the opportunity to start earlier as well as play teams like Dartmouth and Trois Rivieres. I thought it would be a great thing for the kids to play against the best teams they possibly could.” Norwich opens the regular season with a pair of ECAC East contests on the road on Nov. 11 and 12 at the Univ. of New England and then Southern Maine on Saturday afternoon.

2010-11 Year in Review
Returning after a national championship season in 20092010, expectations were high for the Norwich Cadets as they embarked on the 20102011 campaign. After all, most of the offensive firepower that had led the Cadets to their third national championship was return ing ... the fantastic frosh who had powered through Divi sion Three were back for more ...well almost. Several key senior forwards were missing from that squad ... and several underclassmen elected not to return ... so while there was still tremendous talent up front ... there was not the depth that the team had had the previous year. Then there was the back line. Missing were three very key contributors ... graduated veterans Tyler Stitt, Eric Tallent and Steve Coon along with goal tender Ryan Klingensmith. Those had been the rocks in that championship season ... the strong corps that al lowed the young forwards to throw things wide open and just go for it ... with wonderful results. This year they would need a different approach ... and a lunch pail. It didn't look that way early. Norwich rolled at home on opening night. After raising the national cham pionship banner they roared past the University of New England 80 ... returning sophomore Scott Schroeder netted a pair of goals and newcomer Travis Janke chipped in a pair and sophomore Alex Dubois looked fine in the cage ... though he only had to face nine shots to grab the shutout. The next afternoon things were tougher, as Southern Maine hung with the Cadets deep into the third period, but Captain Chad Anderson's unassisted goal in the final two minutes sealed a 42
Norwich win that gave them an opening weekend sweep. Next it was across the Lake to Stafford Ice Arena in Plattsburgh for the Primelink Great Northern Shootout ... first up for NU ... archrival Middlebury. Again a battle, but enough to win. Janke in the first ... an other frosh Shane Gorman in the second ... then Schroeder into an empty net late in the third ... 27 saves for Dubois in a 30 win. It sent the Cadets into the tournament final against the Plattsburgh final. This was a veteran Platts burgh club ... one that the Cadets had beaten three times a year earlier ... twice at Kreitzberg and once in the NCAA semi's in Lake Placid ... the first time had been in a shootout to decide the Primelink champion. The Cardi nals had marked their calendars for this one. It was a 1 1 game into the third period ... but after Norwich got the lead on a Tim Houston goal, the Cardinals struck twice in a minute and ten seconds ... and they held on. Platts burgh's 32 win earned them the Primelink title ... and reminded the Cadets that everyone they played would be pointing to the bullseye on the back of the NU sweater. That included Amherst. The following weekend the Cadets survived to take a point in a tough 22 draw with the Lord Jeffs. Goals by Janke and Kyle Thomas had Norwich up 21 after a period. But NU would not score again ... and an Amherst shot just wide of the post as overtime expired was all that kept the Cadets from a second straight defeat. Norwich did regroup the next day ... erupting for six goals in the first two periods on route to a 71 win at Hamilton. Schroeder and freshman Chris Duszynski each netted a pair and Janke rang up four assists ... they then rolled past St. Michael's a couple of nights later 81 as PierOlivier Cotnoir exploded for four goals and Schroeder put up a goal and FIVE assists. But the first semester had one game remaining, and it would be one that would catch the Cadets' and all of D3 Hockey's at tention. The Castleton State Spartans came into Kre itzberg for the final game of the semester. It was a sec ond game between the growing Vermont rivals ... a nonconference meeting to help build on the growing ri valry .. and Castleton took full advantage. The Cadets got goals from Thomas and Schroeder but they could not get their offense rolling. Castleton played a perfect road game ... tying it up late in the third and then after a Nor wich too many men on the ice penalty ... winning it in overtime 32. This might have been seen as an upset by some ... but it was no fluke. Castleton had earned the

3 National Championships -13 Straight ECAC East Regular Season Titles - 36 NCAA All-Americans
2010-11 Year in Review Back on campus on New Years Eve for the Northfield Savings Bank Holiday Tournament the Cadets struggled against ECAC Northeast foe Nichols ... a pair of goals from Janke and one from Thomas were barely enough for a 32 win ... and with ECAC West power Man hattanville waiting in the title game it got worse. The Valiants jumped into a 30 first period lead and went on to a 51 win. When Dubois was pulled after allowing four goals on eleven shots newcomer Parker Carroll re lieved ... that would be a sign of good things to come. The following Tuesday night in Plattsburgh it was the regular season matchup with the Cardinals, and after jumping out 20 on powerplay goals by Duszynski and Schroeder in the first period the Cadets saw the Cardinals run off six of the next seven. It ended 74 Plattsburgh as Norwich ... losers of only one game in '09'10 ... dropped their third in four outings. At 641 overall ... it was time for the high octane Cadets to get out their lunch pails and get to work. They next punched the clock the following weekend back home at Kreitzberg ... as NESCAC Maine travel partners Bowdoin and Colby came to town. First it was the Polar Bears ... a close 21 game through two ... but third period goals from Anderson and Cotnoir and an empty netter from sophomore Colin Mulvey provided the needed breathing room while in net Carroll stopped 14 of 17 shots in his first Norwich start and the Cadets scored a crucial 53 win. The next afternoon it was more of the same against the White Mules ... a 32 Norwich lead in the third before Houston (twice), Thomas and Schroeder lit the lamp as NU pulled away to a 72 win and a much needed weekend sweep. They built on that momentum the next weekend on the road ... four goals in the first period (two of them from Duszynski) backing Dubois's 20 saves in a 61 win at New England College ... a five goal second period and eight different goal scorers in a 94 win the next after noon at St. Anselm. So there, the train was back on the track ... right? Well not quite. The following Friday night Norwich trav eled to Wesleyan ... where they always won ... except this time. After a scoreless first period the Cardinals erupted against Dubois in the second ... four goals on five shots. Norwich outshot them in the period 185 ... but came out of it down fourzip. A pair of Pasha Kozhokin goals in the third were not nearly enough as NU staggered out of the SpurrierSnyder Rink with their most devastating loss in memory. But as painful as it was that night it also was a lesson learned. They would not lose again until the Frozen Four. The next day at Trinity it took a single
second period goal from sophomore Tory Allan and 22 saves from Carroll to earn a 10 win and a weekend split. Back home Carroll spun a second straight shutout and freshman Chris Paquet and Schroeder pro vided the offense in a 20 win over UMasssBoston , bringing a very young but exceptionally talented Babson team into Kreitzberg. Riding the goaltending of veteran Zeke Testa the young Beavers built a 41 third period lead on the frustrated Cadets. But in an explosion remi niscent of their finest seasons, Norwich roared back. Allan at 7:28 ... sophomore Blake Forkey at 8:20 ... Junior Igor Martinez at 8:38 ... three goals in one minute and ten seconds ... tie game. Babson took a time out ... re grouped and got out of Northfield with a tie ... but one that had to feel like a devastating loss. Next up for Norwich was the Middlebury/Williams weekend. The Friday night game with the Panthers at a soldout Kreitzberg was a typical Cadets/Panthers battle. 11 after one ... 31 Panthers in period two ... Norwich rallied to 33 ... 43 Cadets in the third ... Panthers tied it up. a scoreless overtime ... an other 44 tie! It was a huge night for Thomas ... the super sophomore scored the first three Norwich goals ... while Schroeder added the fourth and Carroll was solid with 22 saves. The next afternoon the Cadets hosted the Ephs ... the only team to beat them a year earlier ... and Norwich dispatched them quickly ... first period goals from Mul vey, Schroeder and Janke and 18 saves from Carroll in a 30 win. Norwich was playing well ... but they were still in a tooth and nail battle for their 13th straight ECAC East regular season championship ... because the Castle ton State Spartans were playing just as well as they were. So it was that a sellout crowd packed Spartan Arena the following Friday night to see if the upstarts of the league could knock the Cadets off their league perch. They had beaten NU in their nonleague meeting in De cember. But on this night Norwich was the better team. Cotnoir scored a pair of first period goals and senior Greg Eskedjian added a powerplay marker as time ex pired to give them a 30 lead after one and the Cadets went on to a 52 win. The next afternoon it was the usual struggle at Skidmore, but third period goals from Thomas and Schroeder were enough for a 31 win. Back home NU nailed down the regular season title as Cotnoir scored twice in a 42 win over Connecticut College and added a hat trick the next afternoon in a 63 win over Tufts.
28
2010-11 Year in Review quick one's early in the third it looked like the Cadets were done ... but Janke and Cotnoir responded ... tying the game again at 22 with just over eight minutes re maining. But this time it would be the Green Knights with the final answer ... notching the game winner with 7:33 to play. Norwich's quest for a second straight title had come up a game short ... but still ... after sitting at 641 on January 4th, they had finished on a 1622 run. 22 wins overall ... another ECAC East Title ... Another Frozen Four appearance ... impressive what can happen when you grab that lunch pail and get down to work.

In the ECAC East playoffs Norwich got two goals each from Allan, Schroeder and junior Emmond Bell in a 102 quarterfinal win over UNE, earning the chance to again host the league semifinals and finals. In the semi's against Southern Maine, Schroeder, Allan, fresh man defenseman Francois Gatien and Janke scored the goals and Carroll stopped 15 shots in a 40 victory, set ting up a rematch with Babson for the league title and an automatic bid to the NCAA's. Allan's early goal gave Norwich the lead ... but Babson's Mike Hoban tied it in the first and gave the Beavers a 21 lead in the second. It stayed that way until less than five minutes remained in the third. Enter Kyle Thomas ... A spectacular rush ... off a spectacular Esked jian pass tied the game with 4:30 remaining. Then in overtime it was the sophomore again ... running down a long lead pass in the Babson zone and beating Testa for the championship. The chance to defend their nation altitle was alive. For the first time in their history Norwich was required to play a Wednesday night NCAA opening round game ... hosting Curry at Kreitzberg. Given one more home game the fans turned out in big numbers and the Cadets rewarded them ... Anderson, Forkey and Bell with goals ... Schroeder with a pair ... and Carroll with 15 saves in a 51 win that sent NU back to Platts burgh for a third shot at the Cardinals at Stafford. The Cardinals got the first goal ... and dominated Norwich ... outshooting them 103 in the first period. Cotnoir answered , burying two goals less than three minutes apart early in the second to push the Cadets on top. But the momentum swung back to the Birds and a late powerplay goal tied the game after two. A hard fought third period settled nothing and with a trip to the Frozen Four on the line the game went to overtime. Then 15:46 into the OT a controversial penalty call gave Norwich a powerplay chance, and 1:57 later Captain An derson slipped in behind the Plattsburgh defense to score the game winner. Carroll was immense with 29 saves, and NU was heading west to the Frozen Four in Minneapolis. After a week off the NCAA semifinal at Ridder Arena proved to be another rematch ... this time a re match of the 2010 championship game ... Norwich against St. Norbert and their All American goaltender B.J. O'Brien. It was O'Brien who stopped 70 shots at the Olympic Center in Lake Placid before finally falling to the Cadets in that one ... and it was O'Brien they faced again in Minnesota. For two periods he held Norwich off the board ... 26 saves ... but Parker Carroll held the fort with nine at the other end. When Norbert's notched two

Kreitzberg Arena Officially opened in 1998, Kreitzberg Multipurpose Arena meets the long-standing need for a modern intercollegiate ice hockey and skating facility at Norwich. It also enhanced the recreational and athletic opportunities for all members of the Norwich community. Equally important, Kreitzberg Arena provides the University with a flexible and attractive space for cultural presentations, concerts and campus convocations. Kreitzberg Arena received plenty of use its first year with the Cadet hockey team playing a school-record 21 home games. Norwich University and Kreitzberg Arena served as the host site for the 1999, 2003 and 2004 NCAA Division III men’s ice hockey championships. This 1,400-seat arena can accommodate up to 5,000 spectators for special events. When the final phase is complete, the new energy-efficient arena will help consolidate University sports and recreational facilities into a single athletic complex, which will also include Andrews Hall and Shapiro Field House. Plans also call for improved access and parking for students and visitors to the campus. Kreitzberg Arena offers many revenue-producing opportunities that were previously closed to the University. Above all, the new arena is an exceptional recreational resource for students, faculty and staff and enhance the sense of community that is already a defining feature of the Norwich experience. Kreitzberg Arena has many special features not offered in any other Division III facility in the country. Here are some of the technical achievements.
Tournament Capacity: Six visiting team rooms assure flexibility for the hosting of future tournaments. Space is also available for an additional press box area to handle increased media coverage during tournaments and special events. Home Team Accommodations: The Norwich Cadets enjoy an on-site training room, a team room, weight-training room, showers, skate sharpening and a stick customizing shop within the arena.
Refrigeration System: The best of its kind utilizing twin chillers running in tandem with four compressors for maximum response, serviceability and safety. This is far beyond the standards of most rinks in existence today. Slab Construction: Made up of granite dust aggregate from local quarries. Five miles of piping filled with coolant run underneath the slab to keep it cool at all times. Dasherboard System: Norwich was the first university in the country to install an aluminum framed cantilever dasher system. This eliminates the metal post obstructions from the spectators sight line and gets rid of those tricky bounces of the puck off the glass. Dehumidification System: This system serves to blow-dry the air for maximum efficiency.
