The season starts with a few newcomers to pro hockey, though their seasons started last year after Clarkson was elminated from the ECAC Hockey playoffs, as well as a few players who appear to have retired.

it looks as though Kerry Ellis-Toddington, Kyle McNulty, Mike Sullivan and Max Kolu are no longer playing competitive hockey (If anyone knows otherwise please let me know - ccarey@wdt.net).

Here is the rundown of the rest of organized hockey (i.e. every league but the NHL and AHL).

In 2003-04, juniors Chris Blight and Mac Faulkner played on the same line and helped lead Clarkson to the ECAC Hockey championship game. Faulkner scored 17 goals with 26 assists that year and Blight scored 19 goals with 20 assists. The duo are once again teammates, though I do not know if they are also linemates.
