2 goals. This large Freshman Class has about 9 goals half-way thru the season, compared to the last large freshman class of 2010-2011, where the freshman scored over 75 goals for the year led by Lee (24 G) and Tynan (23 G). Our recruiting now seems predicated on keeping everyone for 3-4 years so we seem unlikely to get high-end scorers as freshmen. This is a very young team, made younger by the absence of Wegwerth and Oglevie.
The skaters from the 2011 freshman managed almost a half a point a game average, .41/game and the 2019 freshmen are only chipping in about a quarter point a game, .26/game. That class was aided though in large part by two absolute standouts on the scoresheet, Tynan and Lee. Without them, the other skaters managed just .2 points per game. But this class definitely does not (at least not yet) have that stud scoring machine like Tynan or Lee.
I'm hoping that there will be a breakthrough game here where 4 or 5 guys net goals and we put 6 or 7 on the board and it will start the team on a good roll.
