HOCKEY PREVIEW 16 Alex Talcott, F 5-11 194 So. Showed flashes a year ago and will have the chance to become a fixture in the lineup this year. 17 Tony Calderone, F 6-0 200 So. Capable of scoring 20 goals, Calderone possess a deadly powerful shot. 18 Kyle Connor, F 6-1 182 Fr. Should contend for Big Ten Freshman of the Year honors and total close to 40 points. 20 Cooper Marody, F 6-0 177 Fr. A late addition to the rookie class, Marody has superb offensive talent and acumen. 21 Nolan De Jong, D 6-2 205 Jr. Once a big-time get for the Maize and Blue, De Jong is fighting to earn a lineup spot on defense. 22 Niko Porikos, D 6-2 179 So. A good practice player and insurance pol- icy, Porikos remains raw. 23 Alex Kile, F 6-0 190 Jr. Another that could lead this team in scor- ing, Kile is the top left winger on the team. 24 Kevin Lohan, D 6-5 220 Jr. Coaches were miffed by a steady decline in his play last year, but have high hopes he'll bounce back in a big way. 25 Max Shuart, F 6-1 181 Jr. A workmanlike player, Shuart has a nose for the net and could be a breakout player. 27 Nick Boka, D 6-1 197 Fr. The top incoming freshman defenseman, Boka could crack the top four on the blue line. 31 Chad Catt, G 5-10 190 Fr. A bit of an unknown with a tenacious work ethic that is intent on competing for the goalie job. 35 Zach Nagelvoort, G 6-1 209 Jr. Ready at a moment's notice, must play with more confidence to win the starting job in net. 39 Dexter Dancs, F 6-2 205 So. A big bruiser of a power forward, Dancs has soft hands and should emerge a top-three- line skater. No. Name, Pos. Ht. Wt. Elig. No. Name, Pos. Ht. Wt. Elig. Senior forward Justin Selman notched career highs in goals (11) and points (23) in 2014-15, and could be poised for even better numbers this season. PHOTO BY LON HORWEDEL
