The “Kid Corps” at Quinnipiac avoided a total disaster in 2010-11. Considering only one senior (defenseman Zach Hanson) played more than four games, a 6–9–7 record in ECAC play is not so bad.
Bobcats coach Rand Pecknold believes in his young team, which will have four seniors who saw significant time last year. A junior class of 10 dominates the roster, and includes leading goal-scorer Jeremy Langlois (18 last year).
“With 18 freshmen and sophomores, that inexperience at times hurt us. We lost some close games,” said Pecknold. “I’m not sure how much better we’ll be, but we will be better. Last year, our issue was scoring goals. We just couldn’t finish at times, but we do have kids with a good track record of putting points up.”
