Yaworski led Yale's freshman class last season with 18
points in 32 games.
Key
Statistics: He led Yale’s rookie class in scoring
and finished fourth on the team with 18 points. His 13 assists
ranked third on the team. Yaworski dressed in all 32 of Yale’s
contests last season, one of just six players to suit up every
night for the Bulldogs.
What
He Does: At 6-feet-2 and 195 pounds, Yaworski has
the build to be considered a power forward but is also skilled
enough to beat you on a rush or make a pretty pass. He is
not a vocal player, but carries a strong work ethic and good
attitude in the locker room.
The
Bigger Picture: In order for Yale to move up in the
ECAC Hockey League standings everyone on the roster will need
to take their games to a new level. The Bulldogs were one
of the youngest teams in the nation last year. Their top 13
scorers return for the 2005-06 season. As one of the most
talented forwards on the team Yaworski will be counted on
to play an all-around game, but also to increase his scoring.
Yale
associate head coach CJ Marottolo on what Yaworski will need
to work on this season: “We need him to increase
his consistency. It’s a challenge that most freshmen
face. Some weekends last year he was very good on Friday nights
and you would hardly notice him on Saturdays.”
