Interim head coach Dennis Williams said, “We’ve been looking at the team all through fall training. It was a collaborative decision that Tommy [Dee] and David [Solway] would be our assistant captains.”
Williams does not expect the number of natural leaders to end there. “The entire senior class has been absolutely terrific,” he said. “In some way, they will all lead this team through the 2009-10 season.”
Solway will return as the team’s leading point-getter from the 2008-09 season (24) at the forward position. He played in all 38 games as a sophomore netting a career-high 12 goals and assisting on 12 others. He was third on the team in scoring in CCHA contests (19). He hit three game-winning goals, all at home, against Northern Michigan (Nov. 24), Clarkson (Dec. 20) and Michigan State (Feb. 21).
Dee returns as another reliable scoring threat as a forward. In 2008-09 he scored seven goals and added an assist to finish the year with eight points total. He turned in a career night against Ohio State in the first game of the CCHA Tournament’s opening round by scoring a pair of goals against the Buckeyes. He also scored the game-winning goal against the Michigan Wolverines in a 3-0 win, the first shut-out of the Wolverines in series history.
