Coming into the 2009-10 season, goaltending was one of the many
questions facing Quinnipiac coach Rand Pecknold. That's been a
theme in recent years, since goaltending hasn’t been one of
the team's strengths.
When Bud Fisher burst onto the scene in 2005-06, it looked as if
Pecknold had found a goalie he could depend on. In Fisher’s
first two years at Quinnipiac, he started 73 games and won 46 of
them while taking the Bobcats deep into the playoffs.
Fisher’s junior and senior years were not, as successful as
injuries and inconsistency took their toll, which hurt the Bobcats
down the stretch.
Recently, the Bobcats have had star players like Bryan Leitch, who
led the nation in scoring last year; forward Brandon Wong, who in
the 2006-07 season scored the most goals of any freshman; and
offensive defenseman, Reid Cashman. Goalie is the position that the
Bobcats have struggled in the star power category. However, that is
something that sophomore Dan Clarke, as well as freshmen Mathieu
Cadieux and Eric Hartzell, are looking to change.
