Notable Quotable: "We played a number of tough road games last year. Goal scoring for us, at times last year, was difficult. We were last in the conference, unfortunately, in putting the puck in the net. We feel with the new guys we have coming we are confident that will be something we have corrected. So look for us to score, hopefully, more goals here in the upcoming season." – Head coach Jim Culhane
