Men's Hockey Names 2020-21 Captains
April 16, 2020 | Men's Ice Hockey
A trio of Princeton men's ice hockey players have been selected to serve as captains for the 2020-21 season as announced by head coach Ron Fogarty.
Rising senior Matthew Thom has been elected captain, and he will be joined by classmates Luke Keenan and Jake Paganelli who have been named alternate captains.
"The leadership group on a hockey team is vital, and we are excited to have Matthew, Luke and Jake serve as captains next season," said Fogarty. "They have each played important minutes for Princeton over their careers, helping us to an ECAC championship in 2018 and a playoff series sweep of Dartmouth this year. They represent everything that is great about Princeton Hockey and are more than deserving of this honor."
Matthew Thom, a defenseman from Okaville, Ontario, has played in 89 career games with 25 points (7G, 18A). He had nine points over 27 games this season, matching his career high.
Luke Keenan, a center from Courtice, Ontario, has played 97 career games for the Tigers. He will enter his senior season with 12 career goals and 18 career assists for 30 points. The 2019-20 season was a breakout campaign for Keenan as he set career highs in goals (7), assists (11) and points (18).
Jake Paganelli, a forward from Verona, N.J., has skated in 94 career games for Princeton. This past season, he had a career-high 11 points with three goals and eight assists. He will enter his senior season with 29 career points (7G, 22A).
