Season OpenerElmira College opens the 2015-16 campaign this evening against Neumann Uni-versity, who already has two wins under its belts this season. The Soaring Eagles are 22-18-1 in season opening games dating back to the 1973-74 club season. Elmira has opened the year against Neumann twice in EC’s 41-year history, both meetings occurring in the last two seasons. Elmira is 1-1 against the Knights in season-opening games, with Neumann boasting the most recent win, a 3-2 overtime victory to open the 2014-15 campaign.

Meet the CaptainsWith the departure of three of EC’s captains a year ago, Elmira ushers in a new era of leadership in 2015-16. Brian Depp ’16, who wore the ‘A’ on his chest a season ago, has been named the captain of this year’s team. Fellow classmates Tommy Sumi ’16 and Rob Simpson ’16 have both been named assistant captains for the upcoming season.

Strength in NumbersOffensively, Elmira should be in good hands this year. The Soaring Eagles return their top six scorers from a season ago, five of whom registered 20 or more points. Headlining EC’s returning scorers is AHCA Second Team All-American and reigning ECAC West Player of the year, Jarryd ten Vaanholt ’16. His 35 points a season ago was tops in the conference, while his 12 goals and 23 assists were both career highs.

Let’s Begin the 100-Point WatchAlthough it is very early in the season to start to think about milestones, it is worth noting that three Elmira College players have legitimate chances join-ing the EC 100-point club. Jarryd ten Vaanholt ’16 enters the 2015-16 season needing just 24 points to hit the 100-point plateau. Classmate Michael Collins ’16 sits on 70 career points, needing just 30 to reach the milestone; Collins had a 30-point season his second year with the program. Greg Whittle ’16 is also within spitting distance from the 100-point club, but has more work to do than the rest, as he begins his senior campaign with 63 points.

Power-Play Scorers ReturnsAlexander Taulien ’17 scored eight of his 12 goals last year while the Soaring Eagles were on the power play. His eight power-play goals were tied for fourth-most in NCAA Division III Men’s Ice Hockey last season and he was also the conference’s leader in that same category. Fellow Soaring Eagles Tommy Sumi ’16 and Jarryd ten Vaanholt ’16 are also back on the power play after averaging 0.59 and 0.56 power-play points per game last season; Sumi’s numbers led the ECAC West while ten Vaanholt was second.

Saturday Night Home BoutOver the years, Elmira has seen a good amount of success in Saturday night home games. Although EC was just 3-2-0 a year ago in such contests, the Soaring Eagles are 12-8-0 dating back to the 2012-13 season.

Scouting the KnightsNeumann enters tonight’s contest with a 2-0-0 record after opening the season with back-to-back home victories against Daniel Webster College and Salve Regina University. The Knights’ 2-0-0 start marks just the fourth time in program history Neumann has opened the year with back-to-back wins. Ryan Luiten, Mike Davis, and Shayne Morrissey lead the Knights with three goals apiece. Keep an eye on Morrissey, who has the tendency to score in bunches after recording a hat trick in Neumann’s season-opening win against Daniel Webster. Defensively, sophomore Matt Gibney has started in both Neumann wins and owns a 1.00 goals against average to go along with 47 saves.

Scouting the ValiantsManhattanville opened the year with back-to-back wins against Salve Regina University and Daniel Webster College, marking the eighth time since 2001 the Valiants have begun the year with a 2-0-0 record. In the previous seven seasons when starting 2-0-0, Manhattanville went on to win three conference titles. Of-fensively, Manhattanville is led by Teagan Waugh and Stephen Gaul, who have four points apiece. Defensively, Manhattanville has split time in net between rookie Tyler Feaver and senior Kurt Williams. Both have a win to their name, while Feaver leads the squad with 35 saves.
