It was easy for prognosticators to discount St. Lawrence’s
chances entering this season because of the quantity and quality of
players that the Saints didn’t have returning - especially on
defense. Now the Saints have put themselves in position for a
top-four spot in ECAC Hockey and first-round bye in the
playoffs.
“I think our guys are showing themselves that we’re
not a 10th-place team, like we were picked,” Saints head
coach Joe Marsh said.
The highly-regarded blue line quartet of Matt Generous, Shawn
Fensel, Zach Miskovic and Jared Ross never once missed a night in
the Saints’ lineup as long as they were healthy. They
anchored the Saint defense for four years and laced up the skates
574 times, playing all situations and logging tons of minutes. But
the story of this season can’t be told without talking about
the other two primary contributors one year ago, current seniors
Jeff Caister and Derek Keller.
