SCOUTING UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO
- The Blues are four games through their exhibition schedule and are without a win as they eye a pair of ECAC foes this weekend to round out their preseason.
- They are coming off a 6-4 loss to Concordia on Sept. 23 in Toronto. After jumping out 2-1, they surrendered the next three goals and could not erase the two-goal deficit.
- Kyle Potts had a multi-point night, recording a goal and an assist as nine Blues had a point.
- The Friars are coming off a 22-14-2 that ended in the Hockey East Quarterfinals.
- A pair of sophomores led the squad in scoring, as Brett Berard (38 points) and Nick Poisson (35 points) return for their junior campaigns. Overall, Providence returns its top six point-scorers from a season ago.
- Between the pipes, all three goalies who registered game action a season ago are no longer with the squad. Jaxson Stauber led the way in 2021-22, posting a 21-14-2 record and 2.10 goals-against average.
- After securing its sixth in program history, the Bobcats were picked to three-peat and win the Cleary Cup once again, according to the ECAC Coaches' Poll, announced by the league office on Sept. 21.
- The squad received eight of a possible 12 first-place votes, securing 118 total points. They finished nine ahead of second-place Harvard, who secured the other four selections to top the league.
- Captain Zach Metsa and sophomore goaltender Yaniv Perets were selected to the ECAC Men's Preseason All-League team as well. Metsa ranked second in the nation for assists by a defenseman in 2021-22, while Perets finished No. 1 nationally in goals-against average and shutouts.
- The Bobcats were selected No. 7 nationally in both the DCU/USCHO Preseason Poll and the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine Preseason Coaches' Poll, as announced on Sept. 19.
- Quinnipiac received 669 points in the DCU/USCHO poll and 439 points in the USA Today/USA Magazine rankings after finishing the 2021-22 campaign with a 32-7-3 record, going 17-4-1 in preseason play.
- The program tied its single-season record for wins in a campaign, while also becoming one of eight schools to reach their four Regional Final in four of the last 10 NCAA Tournaments.
- Graduate defender Zach Metsa was named the 2022-23 team captain by head coach Rand Pecknold in July and is the 49th captain in program history, succeeding Wyatt Bongiovanni, who served as the captain during the 2021-22 campaign.
- Quinnipiac's three assistant captains will be Desi Burgart, Ethan de Jong and Michael Lombardi, as finalized by Pecknold on Sept. 1.
- Eight current Bobcats were invited to NHL Development Camps this summer, as Yaniv Perets (Philadelphia Flyers), TJ Friedmann (St. Louis Blues), Zach Metsa (Buffalo Sabres) and Skyler Brind'Amour (Edmonton Oilers) will bring that experience back to Quinnipiac.
- The four incoming Bobcats invited were Sam Lipkin (Arizona Coyotes), Collin Graf (Florida Panthers), Charles Alexis Legault (Ottawa Senators) and Chase Clark (Washington Capitals).
