BRIAN DAY
Colgate
So. | F | Danvers, Mass.

When Day scores, it's good news for Colgate. The Raiders were 11-2-1 in games when he had at least one point last season.

Index of Profiles


 

Key Statistics: Day ranked fifth overall in scoring for Colgate and was third among returning players with nine goals and 13 assists for 22 points. He played in 41 of the Raiders' 42 games as a freshman.

What He Does: Day is a talented offensive player with good size who can contribute to Colgate's scoring. He scores in bunches, as evidenced by his seven multi-point games, including two goals in his second ever collegiate game, a 6-5 win over RIT, and three assists in game two of an eventual playoff series triumph over top-seeded Clarkson in ECAC Hockey.

The Bigger Picture: Colgate loses its top two scorers, Tyler Burton and Jesse Winchester, after very productive four-year college careers. It's up to the likes of Day, along with junior David McIntyre and seniors Tom Riley and Peter Bogdanich to pick up the slack and improve production for the upcoming season. Day had 13 points through Colgate's first 16 games last year, but just nine points over the last 26 games of the season. Increased consistency from Day will be a goal for this season.
