POWERING UP
Princeton is 3-for-10 on the power play this season, ranking second in the ECAC and No. 7 in the country in power-play percentage (30%). Jack Cronin has two power-play goals, the other coming from Pito Walton -- who has a pair of power-play helpers as well.
JACK ATTACK
Jack Cronin has struck for a pair of PPGs this season, already matching his total goal output from 2021-22 just three games into this season.
THE MURPH
Ian Murphy is the top returning scorer from the 2021-21 season, where he posted 19 points on nine goals and 10 assists as a sophomore during his first collegiate season before skating with the Vancouver Canucks during the summer as part of NHL Development Camp. His nine goals are the most among Tigers back in the lineup for 2022-23, and his 10 helpers are tied for most among players returning. After missing the first game, he returned last weekend and had an assist against Colgate.
ABOUT ADAM
Adam Robbins had a breakout 2021-22 season, posting 13 points (5g, 8a) over 31 games played – including a blistering start where he had points in four consecutive games (1g, 4a) to open the season. His totals blew by his 2019-20 total of 2 points (0g, 2a) over 18 games. During the 2020-21 year, Robbins won a Clark Cup with the Chicago Steel. So far this season, Robbins has two assists -- picking up a pair of power-play helpers.
PITO POCKETS POINTS
Defenseman Pito Walton turned a 6-point 2019-20 season into an 11-point campaign last year. He had career highs in goals (4) and assists (7), highlighted by a three-assist night at Yale on 11/6/21. He enters the weekend leading the Tigers in scoring with three points (1g, 2a).
SPENCER ON FIRE
Spencer Kersten set career highs last season in goals (6), assists (10) and points (16) while playing in all 31 games. He was 52% on faceoffs last season, winning 211-of-406. This year, he is 32-for-53 (60%) on draws but is looking for his first point.
SETTING SEITZ
Nick Seitz also had a breakout 2021-22 season, setting career highs in goals (3), assists (6) and points (9). He spent this summer teaching English in Ecuador.
DE LA SOUL
Noah de la Durantaye had 10 points (3g, 7a) last season during his debut campaign. He had a pair of two-assist games (vs. St. Lawrence and RIT) and had points in both playoff games to end last season. He spent the summer with the Vegas Golden Knights participating in NHL Development Camp.
LEANIN' ON LIAM
The Tigers will be looking for key contributions from senior Liam Gorman. Originally a Pittsburgh Penguins draft pick, Chicago traded for his rights this past summer. He posted a two-point night (1g, 1a) against Colgate last weekend for his first-career multi-point game.
GATHERING GORMANS
In addition to Liam, the Tigers also will line up his younger brother, Brendan, this season. The brothers join their father, Sean, as Princeton Hockey players. Sean is a 1991 Princeton grad who was drafted by the Boston Bruins out of college. Both Liam and Brendan played high school hockey at St. Sebastian's before joining the Tigers as true freshmen. Last year with St. Sebs, Brendan tallied 49 points (11g, 38a) in 25 games while earning ISL MVP honors.
LITTLE BRO, BIG GOALS
Brendan Gorman has two goals through three games to open his Princeton career, scoring the Tigers' first goal of the season at Harvard and connecting again versus Colgate.
GORMAN FAMILY SCORING RACE
1. Sean Gorman -- 23 pts (5g, 18a) in 99 games
2. Liam Gorman -- 14 pts. (5g, 9a) in 62 games
3. Brendan Gorman -- 2 pts. (2g, 0a) in 3 games
