Just read an article about Mercyhurst on College Hockey News. They've had a lot of injuries. In the article the coach states:
“The injury bug has been as worse as it’s been in my 38 years. We have two or three guys that are done for the season. We played Holy Cross; we had eight healthy forwards, and we used two defensemen to get it to ten forwards and that was the same way against Canisius,” Gotkin said.
“The good news is we’re going to get a chunk of those guys back here in the second half. I don’t know how many will be back for [the first game out of the break] North Dakota.”
We can only hope we get Livanavage and Wiebe back from the Spengler Cup for this series otherwise these are the defensemen: (Zmolek, Jubenvill, Engel, Laurila, and Strathman. So only 5 D for that series.
