KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- Western Michigan hockey's group of six freshmen skaters have helped power the offense this season through 24 games heading into the weekend clash with No. 2 North Dakota.
How much have they powered the offense? The group is the top scoring freshman class through 24 games in over a decade. Griffen Molino, Colt Conrad, Oliwer Kaski, Corey Schueneman, Matheson Iacopelli, and Jade McMullen have combined for 60 points on 18 goals and 42 assists. In recent years the only other group of freshmen to come close to that kind of production was Chase Balisy, Shane Berschbach, Danny DeKeyser, and Dennis Brown back during the 2010-11 season.
