Forward Matt Arhontas was a freshman when the men’s ice hockey team won the ECAC Hockey championship in 2008. Now, as a senior, he is a leader on the team and role model for younger players. The co-captain leads the team in goals scored, with five, and power-play goals scored. Last year, Arhontas scored the game-tying goal to give Princeton a 6-6 result against Maine at the Florida College Classic, and he tied a career high with three points in the season-ending victory over Brown.
