For the prospect hounds: Red Wings draft pick and prospect goalie Carter Gylander is taking part in his freshman season at Colgate, and USCHO.com’s Nate Owen wrote about the fact that Gylander is part of a netminding triumvirate:
Finding a good goalie can be a challenge for many hockey teams, but it shouldn’t be difficult for Colgate this season.
The Raiders have juniors Andrew Farrier and Mitch Benson, a goaltending duo whose strong play helped Colgate host a home series in the first round of the league playoffs last year. Colgate also added freshman Carter Gylander, a Detroit draft pick who was named the AJHL’s top goalie last season.
That trio should give the Raiders plenty of options in net this season.
“We’re really excited about where we are [with our goaltending],” Colgate coach Don Vaughan said.
But the Raiders’ success this season rests on improving an offense that ranked 52nd in the country in scoring last season and lost its top two scorers to graduation.
“When you only give up two goals a game, you’ve got to find a way to score more than two goals,” Vaughan said. “If we can find a way to [average] two and a half or three goals a game, we can pile up the Ws.”
Continued, with various college hockey notes; Colgate plays next on Saturday, when they face Saint Lawrence.
This year there are no real negative articles about StevieY. Compared to you know, every year .. Needed a rebuild but loyalty and overpaying contracts, grabbed him by the throat.
There are a lot of comments from “New to the Wings” (that after talking to StevieY, good talk with StevieY, etc) they chose the Wings!
