2011-12 Season Preview
“The Road Back to Placid” 2011-12 Men’s Ice Hockey Preview
by Derek Dunning, NU Sports Information
NORTHFIELD, Vt. – Last March, the Norwichmen’s hockey team found itself back in the Frozen Four
facing the exact same St. Norbert team it defeated the year
before in Lake Placid, N.Y. in a 2-1 double-overtime
thriller to win the program’s third national championship.
However, instead of the storybook ending that was
2010; the Cadets lost 3-2 and had their dreams of a repeat
cut short while St. Norbert went on to win the 2011 Na-
tional Championship the next day.
NU enters the 2011-12 season with high expecta-
tions once again as the squad lost just two seniors from last
year’s 22-6-3 team that won an unprecedented 13th straight
ECAC East regular season crown, as well as its ninth
ECAC East Tournament title.
Legendary Norwich head coach Mike McShane
will have 20 players back from last year’s squad including
seven of the top 10 scorers as he embarks on his 17th sea-
son. McShane enters 2011-12 just 15 wins shy of 600 ca-
reer coaching wins. He has accumulated an impressive
341-96-24 record for a .766 winning percentage while at
Norwich.
Heading the list of returners this season are junior
forwards Pier-Olivier Cotnoir (Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec)
and Kyle Thomas (Waltham, Mass.), along with reigning
ECAC East Rookie of the Year in sophomore forward
Travis Janke (Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan)
The three were paired together on the Cadets’ top
line for much of last season and became known as one of
the most formidable offensive combinations in all of Divi-
sion III.
Cotnoir led the team with 21 goals to go along with
17 assists for 38 points, while Janke’s 39 points (12 goals,
27 assists) tied for the team-point lead with Scott
Schroeder. Thomas listed third on the team in goals with 16
markers. Over the summer, Thomas made a name for him-
self at the Minnesota Wild Prospect Development Camp by
scoring two goals in two games.
“We think we’ve got a real good line with Janke,
Thomas and Cotnoir,” McShane said. “We’ll probably start
them off together and see how they do after they finished
off last year together and did a nice job.”
After that though, there is plethora of question
marks surrounding where the rest of the offense is going to
come for the Cadets in 2011-12. Junior forward Blake
Forkey returns, but he’ll be looking for two new line mates
after Chad Anderson graduated last spring and Scott
Schroeder didn’t return this fall.
“We lost three real good impact players that proba-
bly won’t be replaced,” McShane said (2nd Team RBK All-
American defenseman Greg Eskedjian being the third).
“We brought in some guys who we think can contribute but
it’s going to come down to some of our upperclassmen
stepping up and having better years. We’ve got so many ifs,
and we need some of them to pan out. “
Forkey (8-14-22), along with classmates Tory
Allan (4-7-11) and Colin Mulvey (2-4-6) will be counted
on to rekindle their freshman form. Forkey (Boca Raton,
Fla.) tied for the team lead in points, Mulvey (Worcester,
Mass.) scored 10 goals and Allan (Davidson,
Saskatchewan) produced nearly a point-per-game when
healthy.
“Mulvey has come back in even better shape this
year,” McShane said. “He looks stronger and looks like he
has even more speed right now.”
Sophomore forward Chris Duszynski (Okotoks,
Alberta) could also see an expanded role this season after
he posted eight goals and 11 assists on his way to being
named to the league’s all-rookie team during a promising
first-year campaign.
“Duszynski has come back in good shape after he
battled through some injuries last year that limited him a
little bit,” McShane said. “He’s got great hands inside and
if he fulfills what we think he can do, that will be a big plus
for us. He’s a goal scorer with a big frame that plays a
physical game and he can certainly step up for us this year.”
Rounding out the list of returning forwards are sen-
iors Emmond Bell (6-7-13), Igor Martinez (2-5-7) and
Tim Houston (4-1-5), as well as sophomores Shane Gor-
man (1-6-7) and Chris Paquet (2-2-4).
“Igor played great for us last year as a checking line center
and Tim Houston has looked good so far too,” McShane
said. “Paquet, Gorman and Allan have played together a lit-
tle bit and they have shown a little bit of chemistry so far.
When they get going, they are really going, and they’re
tough to stop.”
Three new forwards will join the mix this year
looking to compete for ice time in Gerard McEleney
(Canton, Mass.), Nevin Lawler (Fitchburg, Mass.) and
Doug Lindensmith (Sterling Heights, Mich.) who posted
33 goals and 65 assists last year for the La Ronge Ice
Wolves of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League.
“Lindensmith looks to be a seasoned player,” Mc-
Shane said. “He’s a 20-year-old freshman that has played
junior hockey for a few years on a good team with some
good players. He’s going to see some ice time early, and
we’ll have to see who he works best with.”

“Nevin Lawler is a peppy player who plays with a
lot of energy as does Gerard,” McShane said. “They’re
both young, but I think they are going to develop and be
good players here.”
The Cadets’ defense corps should once again be a
strong point with six returners that surrendered just 2.16
goals per game to rank fourth in the nation.
The group includes three seniors headed by newly-ap-
pointed team captain Shawn Baker (Mont-Laurier, Que-
bec) who takes over the captain’s ‘C’ from Chad
Anderson.
“Baker is a natural leader that does it on the ice and
off it,” McShane said. “The kids really respect him, and
he’s a hard worker in the classroom. He’s likeable, but he’s
very tough and competitive. There is a lot of weight on
your shoulders when you become the captain by dealing
with adversity throughout the course of the year, but I think
Shawn will do a great job.”
Baker registered 11 assists last season and will be
joined by classmates Owen Carpino (0-4-4) and Pasha
Kozohkin (3-3-6) as the leaders on the blue line.
“I think experience on defense helps more than ex-
perience up front because you have guys that are used to
dealing with the pressure,” McShane said. “We’re counting
on Baker, Carpino, and Kozhokin to contribute and show
right away the level the defense needs to be at as a unit.”
Sophomores Francois Gatien (3-6-9), Chris Gour
(0-4-4) and Zac Fulton (1-5-6) will compete for ice time
with four new freshmen looking to break into the starting
top six line up.
“Frank Gatien has come back stronger this year,”
McShane said. “He looks like he worked really hard over
the offseason, and I think Fulton and Gour have looked
strong so far as well in practice. Fulton has been steady,
and Gour is a great puck handler.”
The four new faces are Corey Hale (Montreal,
Quebec), Alec Thieda (Rochester Hills, Mich.), Nick
Poulin (St. Odilon, Quebec) and Bryce Currier (Essex
Junction, Vt.)
“Corey Hale is a good player, and we knew coming
in he was going to be a good player,” McShane said. “How
he adapts to the college game right away will be key. Bryce
Currier is a big, strong kid that has looked good. Thieda has
been steady, and Poulin is small in stature but he plays with
a lot of heart.”
With 10 defensemen on the roster, McShane ac-
knowledged competition for ice time will be fierce and de-
cisions won’t be easy.
“The defense is going to be the toughest decision to
make because they’re all pretty close,” he said. “Getting all
of them in the lineup is impossible to do, but you do have
injuries and usually things have a way of working them-
selves out.”
Sophomore goalie Parker Carroll (West Chester,
Pa.) returns for his first full season in the Maroon & Gold.
He joined the team at the semester break and helped spark a
14-game unbeaten streak after winning over the starting
goaltender job. Carroll finished the year with a 14-1-2
record to go along with a 1.82 goals against average and a
.899 save percentage.
Freshman Matic Marinsek (Ljubljana, Slovenia) is
expected to push Carroll for ice time in the crease this sea-
son after playing for the Slovenian Under-20 National
team. Sophomore Chris Czarnota (Wakefield, Mass.)
rounds out the list of goaltenders.
“Parker is in good shape and worked hard over the sum-
mer,” McShane said. “He’s our ‘go to’ guy right now. Matic
is working hard and has some ability. I think it’s going to
take him a little time to adjust to our game, but he’s got
great potential. Chris had an ankle injury over the summer
but he came on last year and improved quite a bit through
the course of the season so we’d like to see him do the
same thing.”
The Cadets were able to start official practices on
Oct. 15 for the first time in over decade after the 12-year
NESCAC/ECAC East Interlocking schedule agreement
came to an end last year.
Norwich will open its 2011-12 campaign this Sun-
day when it travels down to Hanover, N.H. to take on Divi-
sion I Dartmouth in the first of two exhibitions to open the
season. NU will also take on Trois-Rivieres next Sunday in
its home opener at Kreitzberg Arena with face off set for 3
p.m.
“I did enjoy playing the NESCAC schools, and it’s
too bad that happened,” McShane said. “But, after the fact,
you’ve got to move on and now we have the opportunity to
start earlier as well as play teams like Dartmouth and Trois
Rivieres. I thought it would be a great thing for the kids to
play against the best teams they possibly could.”
Norwich opens the regular season with a pair of
ECAC East contests on the road on Nov. 11 and 12 at the
Univ. of New England and then Southern Maine on Satur-
day afternoon.

2010-11 Year in Review
“Written by George Commo, “The Voice of the Cadets”
Returning after a national championship season
in 20092010, expectations were high for the Norwich
Cadets as they embarked on the 20102011 campaign.
After all, most of the offensive firepower that had led the
Cadets to their third national championship was return
ing ... the fantastic frosh who had powered through Divi
sion Three were back for more ...well almost.
Several key senior forwards were missing from
that squad ... and several underclassmen elected not to
return ... so while there was still tremendous talent up
front ... there was not the depth that the team had had
the previous year. Then there was the back line. Missing
were three very key contributors ... graduated veterans
Tyler Stitt, Eric Tallent and Steve Coon along with goal
tender Ryan Klingensmith. Those had been the rocks in
that championship season ... the strong corps that al
lowed the young forwards to throw things wide open
and just go for it ... with wonderful results. This year
they would need a different approach ... and a lunch pail.
It didn't look that way early. Norwich rolled at
home on opening night. After raising the national cham
pionship banner they roared past the University of New
England 80 ... returning sophomore Scott Schroeder
netted a pair of goals and newcomer Travis Janke
chipped in a pair and sophomore Alex Dubois looked
fine in the cage ... though he only had to face nine shots
to grab the shutout. The next afternoon things were
tougher, as Southern Maine hung with the Cadets deep
into the third period, but Captain Chad Anderson's
unassisted goal in the final two minutes sealed a 42
Norwich win that gave them an opening weekend
sweep.
Next it was across the Lake to Stafford Ice Arena
in Plattsburgh for the Primelink Great Northern
Shootout ... first up for NU ... archrival Middlebury.
Again a battle, but enough to win. Janke in the first ... an
other frosh Shane Gorman in the second ... then
Schroeder into an empty net late in the third ... 27 saves
for Dubois in a 30 win.
It sent the Cadets into the tournament final
against the Plattsburgh final. This was a veteran Platts
burgh club ... one that the Cadets had beaten three times
a year earlier ... twice at Kreitzberg and once in the
NCAA semi's in Lake Placid ... the first time had been in a
shootout to decide the Primelink champion. The Cardi
nals had marked their calendars for this one. It was a 1
1 game into the third period ... but after Norwich got the
lead on a Tim Houston goal, the Cardinals struck twice
in a minute and ten seconds ... and they held on. Platts
burgh's 32 win earned them the Primelink title ... and
reminded the Cadets that everyone they played would
be pointing to the bullseye on the back of the NU
sweater.
That included Amherst. The following weekend
the Cadets survived to take a point in a tough 22 draw
with the Lord Jeffs. Goals by Janke and Kyle Thomas had
Norwich up 21 after a period. But NU would not score
again ... and an Amherst shot just wide of the post as
overtime expired was all that kept the Cadets from a
second straight defeat.
Norwich did regroup the next day ... erupting for
six goals in the first two periods on route to a 71 win at
Hamilton. Schroeder and freshman Chris Duszynski
each netted a pair and Janke rang up four assists ... they
then rolled past St. Michael's a couple of nights later 81
as PierOlivier Cotnoir exploded for four goals and
Schroeder put up a goal and FIVE assists. But the first
semester had one game remaining, and it would be one
that would catch the Cadets' and all of D3 Hockey's at
tention.
The Castleton State Spartans came into Kre
itzberg for the final game of the semester. It was a sec
ond game between the growing Vermont rivals ... a
nonconference meeting to help build on the growing ri
valry .. and Castleton took full advantage. The Cadets got
goals from Thomas and Schroeder but they could not
get their offense rolling. Castleton played a perfect road
game ... tying it up late in the third and then after a Nor
wich too many men on the ice penalty ... winning it in
overtime 32. This might have been seen as an upset by
some ... but it was no fluke. Castleton had earned the

2010-11 Year in Review

Back on campus on New Years Eve for the
Northfield Savings Bank Holiday Tournament the Cadets
struggled against ECAC Northeast foe Nichols ... a pair of
goals from Janke and one from Thomas were barely
enough for a 32 win ... and with ECAC West power Man
hattanville waiting in the title game it got worse. The
Valiants jumped into a 30 first period lead and went on
to a 51 win. When Dubois was pulled after allowing
four goals on eleven shots newcomer Parker Carroll re
lieved ... that would be a sign of good things to come.
The following Tuesday night in Plattsburgh it
was the regular season matchup with the Cardinals, and
after jumping out 20 on powerplay goals by Duszynski
and Schroeder in the first period the Cadets saw the
Cardinals run off six of the next seven. It ended 74
Plattsburgh as Norwich ... losers of only one game in
'09'10 ... dropped their third in four outings.
At 641 overall ... it was time for the high octane
Cadets to get out their lunch pails and get to work. They
next punched the clock the following weekend back
home at Kreitzberg ... as NESCAC Maine travel partners
Bowdoin and Colby came to town.
First it was the Polar Bears ... a close 21 game
through two ... but third period goals from Anderson
and Cotnoir and an empty netter from sophomore Colin
Mulvey provided the needed breathing room while in
net Carroll stopped 14 of 17 shots in his first Norwich
start and the Cadets scored a crucial 53 win.
The next afternoon it was more of the same
against the White Mules ... a 32 Norwich lead in the
third before Houston (twice), Thomas and Schroeder lit
the lamp as NU pulled away to a 72 win and a much
needed weekend sweep.
They built on that momentum the next weekend
on the road ... four goals in the first period (two of them
from Duszynski) backing Dubois's 20 saves in a 61 win
at New England College ... a five goal second period and
eight different goal scorers in a 94 win the next after
noon at St. Anselm.
So there, the train was back on the track ... right?
Well not quite. The following Friday night Norwich trav
eled to Wesleyan ... where they always won ... except this
time. After a scoreless first period the Cardinals erupted
against Dubois in the second ... four goals on five shots.
Norwich outshot them in the period 185 ... but came
out of it down fourzip. A pair of Pasha Kozhokin goals
in the third were not nearly enough as NU staggered out
of the SpurrierSnyder Rink with their most devastating
loss in memory. But as painful as it was that night it also
was a lesson learned. They would not lose again until
the Frozen Four. The next day at Trinity it took a single
second period goal from sophomore Tory Allan and 22
saves from Carroll to earn a 10 win and a weekend
split.
Back home Carroll spun a second straight
shutout and freshman Chris Paquet and Schroeder pro
vided the offense in a 20 win over UMasssBoston ,
bringing a very young but exceptionally talented Babson
team into Kreitzberg. Riding the goaltending of veteran
Zeke Testa the young Beavers built a 41 third period
lead on the frustrated Cadets. But in an explosion remi
niscent of their finest seasons, Norwich roared back.
Allan at 7:28 ... sophomore Blake Forkey at 8:20 ... Junior
Igor Martinez at 8:38 ... three goals in one minute and
ten seconds ... tie game. Babson took a time out ... re
grouped and got out of Northfield with a tie ... but one
that had to feel like a devastating loss.
Next up for Norwich was the
Middlebury/Williams weekend. The Friday night game
with the Panthers at a soldout Kreitzberg was a typical
Cadets/Panthers battle. 11 after one ... 31 Panthers in
period two ... Norwich rallied to 33 ... 43 Cadets in the
third ... Panthers tied it up. a scoreless overtime ... an
other 44 tie! It was a huge night for Thomas ... the
super sophomore scored the first three Norwich goals ...
while Schroeder added the fourth and Carroll was solid
with 22 saves.
The next afternoon the Cadets hosted the Ephs ...
the only team to beat them a year earlier ... and Norwich
dispatched them quickly ... first period goals from Mul
vey, Schroeder and Janke and 18 saves from Carroll in a
30 win.
Norwich was playing well ... but they were still
in a tooth and nail battle for their 13th straight ECAC
East regular season championship ... because the Castle
ton State Spartans were playing just as well as they
were. So it was that a sellout crowd packed Spartan
Arena the following Friday night to see if the upstarts of
the league could knock the Cadets off their league perch.
They had beaten NU in their nonleague meeting in De
cember. But on this night Norwich was the better team.
Cotnoir scored a pair of first period goals and senior
Greg Eskedjian added a powerplay marker as time ex
pired to give them a 30 lead after one and the Cadets
went on to a 52 win.
The next afternoon it was the usual struggle at
Skidmore, but third period goals from Thomas and
Schroeder were enough for a 31 win. Back home NU
nailed down the regular season title as Cotnoir scored
twice in a 42 win over Connecticut College and added a
hat trick the next afternoon in a 63 win over Tufts. 3 N

In the ECAC East playoffs Norwich got two goals
each from Allan, Schroeder and junior Emmond Bell in a
102 quarterfinal win over UNE, earning the chance to
again host the league semifinals and finals. In the
semi's against Southern Maine, Schroeder, Allan, fresh
man defenseman Francois Gatien and Janke scored the
goals and Carroll stopped 15 shots in a 40 victory, set
ting up a rematch with Babson for the league title and
an automatic bid to the NCAA's.
Allan's early goal gave Norwich the lead ... but
Babson's Mike Hoban tied it in the first and gave the
Beavers a 21 lead in the second. It stayed that way until
less than five minutes remained in the third. Enter Kyle
Thomas ... A spectacular rush ... off a spectacular Esked
jian pass tied the game with 4:30 remaining. Then in
overtime it was the sophomore again ... running down a
long lead pass in the Babson zone and beating Testa for
the championship. The chance to defend their nation
altitle was alive.
For the first time in their history Norwich was
required to play a Wednesday night NCAA opening
round game ... hosting Curry at Kreitzberg. Given one
more home game the fans turned out in big numbers
and the Cadets rewarded them ... Anderson, Forkey and
Bell with goals ... Schroeder with a pair ... and Carroll
with 15 saves in a 51 win that sent NU back to Platts
burgh for a third shot at the Cardinals at Stafford.
The Cardinals got the first goal ... and dominated
Norwich ... outshooting them 103 in the first period.
Cotnoir answered , burying two goals less than three
minutes apart early in the second to push the Cadets on
top. But the momentum swung back to the Birds and a
late powerplay goal tied the game after two. A hard
fought third period settled nothing and with a trip to the
Frozen Four on the line the game went to overtime.
Then 15:46 into the OT a controversial penalty call gave
Norwich a powerplay chance, and 1:57 later Captain An
derson slipped in behind the Plattsburgh defense to
score the game winner. Carroll was immense with 29
saves, and NU was heading west to the Frozen Four in
Minneapolis.
After a week off the NCAA semifinal at Ridder
Arena proved to be another rematch ... this time a re
match of the 2010 championship game ... Norwich
against St. Norbert and their All American goaltender
B.J. O'Brien. It was O'Brien who stopped 70 shots at the
Olympic Center in Lake Placid before finally falling to
the Cadets in that one ... and it was O'Brien they faced
again in Minnesota. For two periods he held Norwich off
the board ... 26 saves ... but Parker Carroll held the fort
with nine at the other end. When Norbert's notched two
quick one's early in the third it looked like the Cadets
were done ... but Janke and Cotnoir responded ... tying
the game again at 22 with just over eight minutes re
maining. But this time it would be the Green Knights
with the final answer ... notching the game winner with
7:33 to play.
Norwich's quest for a second straight title had
come up a game short ... but still ... after sitting at 641
on January 4th, they had finished on a 1622 run. 22
wins overall ... another ECAC East Title ... Another
Frozen Four appearance ... impressive what can happen
when you grab that lunch pail and get down to work.

Officially opened in 1998, Kreitzberg MultipurposeArena meets the long-standing need for a modern intercolle-
giate ice hockey and skating facility at Norwich. It also en-
hanced the recreational and athletic opportunities for all
members of the Norwich community. Equally important, Kre-
itzberg Arena provides the University with a flexible and at-
tractive space for cultural presentations, concerts and campus
convocations.
Kreitzberg Arena received plenty of use its first year
with the Cadet hockey team playing a school-record 21 home
games. Norwich University and Kreitzberg Arena served as
the host site for the 1999, 2003 and 2004 NCAA Division III
men’s ice hockey championships. This 1,400-seat arena can
accommodate up to 5,000 spectators for special events. When
the final phase is complete, the new energy-efficient arena will
help consolidate University sports and recreational facilities
into a single athletic complex, which will also include An-
drews Hall and Shapiro Field House. Plans also call for im-
proved access and parking for students and visitors to the
campus.
Kreitzberg Arena offers many revenue-producing op-
portunities that were previously closed to the University.
Above all, the new arena is an exceptional recreational re-
source for students, faculty and staff and enhance the sense of
community that is already a defining feature of the Norwich
experience.
Kreitzberg Arena has many special features not of-
fered in any other Division III facility in the country. Here are
some of the technical achievements.
Refrigeration System:
The best of its kind utilizing twin chillers running in tandemwith four compressors for maximum response, serviceabilityand safety. This is far beyond the standards of most rinks inexistence today.
Slab Construction:
Made up of granite dust aggregate from local quarries. Fivemiles of piping filled with coolant run underneath the slab tokeep it cool at all times.
Dasherboard System:
Norwich was the first university in the country to install an aluminum framed cantilever dasher system. This eliminatesthe metal post obstructions from the spectators sight line andgets rid of those tricky bounces of the puck off the glass.
Dehumidification System:
This system serves to blow-dry the air for maximum effi-
ciency.
Seating Design:
The aluminum frame seats will never rust. They are also spe-cially designed with open cell vinyl seats and backs whichwarm with your body heat for comfort.
Tournament Capacity:
Six visiting team rooms assure flexibility for the hosting of fu-
ture tournaments. Space is also available for an additional
press box area to handle increased media coverage during
tournaments and special events.
Home Team Accommodations:
The Norwich Cadets enjoy an on-site training room, a team
room, weight-training room, showers, skate sharpening and a
stick customizing shop within the arena.
