MURPHY NAMED
COLGATE MEN'S ICE HOCKEY 2000-01 CAPTAIN; JOHNS AND NOLAN NAMED
ASSISTANT CAPTAINS
HAMILTON, N.Y. --
Colgate University head men's ice hockey coach Don Vaughan
announced the election of senior defenseman Cory Murphy (Kanata,
Ont.) as team captain and senior forwards Kevin Johns (Almonte,
Ont.) and Sean Nolan (Dorchester, Ont.) as assistant captains of
the 2000-01 Red Raider squad.
Murphy, a first team All-ECAC defenseman, played in all 35 games
last season posting a career-best offensive output scoring 29
points last season (10-19-29). Murphy led all defensemen in
scoring and plus/minus (+11).
Nolan finished with 19 goals and
18 helpers for 37 points last season. What made his efforts even
more impressive is that he played most of the season with a tear
in his ACL and waited until the offseason for surgery.
Nolan was the go-to man in crunch
time for Colgate after leading the nation with seven
game-winning goals last season. He finished tied for second on
the team in plus/minus (+12) and was third on the team in
multiple-point games with nine including five in his last eight
games.
Johns tripled his offensive
output from the 1998-99 season with 30 points last year
(10-20-30). He was tied for second on the team with Nolan last
year in plus/minus (+12) and registered eight multiple-point
efforts including a four-point game against Union on Feb. 19.
