By Jeffrey Beyer | October 12, 1995

As the men's ice hockey team continues its preparations for the opening of the regular season next month, the players are not only becoming familiar with each other, but are also trying to acquaint themselves with an almost entirely new coaching staff. Three of the four coaches from last year are gone, with Head Coach Roger Demment being the only returnee from 1994-95. In somewhat of a coaching revolving door, last year's assistant coaches, Matt Carlin, Mike Cavanaugh and John Fletcher are out, and newcomers Guy Perron, Rob Abel and Doug Weiss '88 are in. First-Assistant Coach Carlin left the team at the end of the summer to take a similar position with the Cornell University hockey program.
