Odds and ends: Alex and Adam Roberts are twins. Their older brother, Matt, plays at Nichols College. Bob DiSorbo had a strong year as a defensive back on the football team ... Andrew Barba traveled to Scandinavia with his club team this summer. ... John Gavin has been a nice addition.

Coach Bill Burns (10th year, 66-109-26): "We set the goal already, we can make the tournament. That's what we're setting our sights on. The (freshmen) are going to learn. It's going to be baptism under fire. We have three seniors, they're going to be huge. They're going to be an extension of the coaching staff. They've helped out tremendously. (The Roberts) have grit, toughness, (they're) both very solid hockey players."
