Bowdoin releases "pre-season" roster, Trinity releases "veteran" roster

After Williams released their 2013-14 men's hockey roster earlier this week, Bowdoin and Trinity have their rosters posted as well...sort of.

Bowdoin has a tentative "pre-season" roster up on their site and Trinity has a "veteran" roster, which both boil down to a list of returning players. The Polar Bears have a list of 26 names while the Bantams carry 21 returning players.

Bowdoin's list of 26 matches up with the 25 non-seniors that made the roster in 2012-13.  One name initially left off the the roster that has been added is fifth year senior Ryan Carney (D, Sr.). Carney was granted a red shirt his freshman year (2009-10) after he played only three games and went on leave after first semester. If we add the projected recruits (7-9), the roster should be somewhere around the deep 33 man roster Bowdoin carried last year.

The defending NESCAC champions return six of their top eight scorers from a season ago, including leading scorer and 2012-13 Second Team All-NESCAC team member Ollie Koo (F/D, Jr.), who had 34 points (16-18-34).  Senior forward and second leading scorer Harry Matheson (F, Sr.) (13-17-30) will captain the team with senior blueliner Jay Livermore (D, Sr.).

Trinity returns all but one of their non-seniors from last year's NESCAC semifinalist roster. The lone omission is sophomore Ford Traff, who played in only seven games as a freshman. Traff remains at Trinity, where he likely left the team to focus on tennis. The Bantams have a large recruiting class coming in that the interwebs has listed as containing anywhere from eight to fourteen names. Trinity only carried 27 players last year, so something's probably going to have to give.

Whoever does end up making the final roster, they will have plenty of work to do in the offensive zone. The Bantams return 2012-13 leading scorer Jackson Brewer (F, So.), who had 24 points (12-12-24), but lose the next four top scorers to the workforce. On the other end of the ice, Trinity returns First Team All-NESCAC netminder Ben Coulthard (G, Jr.).
