After earning the inaugural UCHC regular & post-season title and then an NCAA tournament snub, the Pioneers saw 9 Seniors graduate from a 21-5-1 team. This year's squad features only 4 Seniors but 2 of the 5 double digit goal scorers (including UCHC All-Rookie team Sophomore forward Connor Landrigan) return to lead the offense that will look to be heavily supported by 5 of the 7 incoming Freshmen forwards that scored 28 or more goals in Juniors last year. A young defense--5 Freshmen and Sophomores of the 8 on the roster--will be backstopped by UCHC Second Team Junior goalie Patrik Virtanen.
