COREY
CARLSON
Vermont
Jr. | F | Two Harbors, Minn.
Carlson's nine goals ranked fourth on the Catamounts
last season.
Key Statistics: Carlson
finished fifth on the team in scoring last year with
nine goals and eight assists for 17 points. He registered
six goals and nine assists in his freshman year.
What He Does: The 5-foot-10, 175-pound
right winger is an intelligent player, and he can impact
the power play as a result. Carlson was second on the
team with five extra-man goals last season. He was a
proven scorer during his time in the USHL in 2004-05,
racking up 27 goals and 45 assists, but he hasn’t
yet exploded onto the college scene in that regard.
The Bigger Picture: Part of a very
talented junior class, it says a lot that Kevin Sneddon
named him, along with fellow junior Dean Strong, an
assistant captain on this season’s squad. On a
team that struggled to score last year – 2.23
goals per game, seventh in Hockey East – and faced
with the loss of leading scorer and co-captain Torrey
Mitchell (12-23—35), Carlson’s impact will
be key to the Catamounts’ success. Vermont will
need Carlson to grow both from sophomore to assistant
captain, and as a scorer as well.
Vermont head coach Kevin Sneddon
on Carlson, from a team release: “Dean
Strong and Corey Carlson will be our assistant captains
next season. Both have been immediate impact players
for our program since their arrival and we expect big
things from them this upcoming season. We have been
extremely fortunate to have great leadership within
our program for the past four years, and this leadership
group will continue that trend. Our staff is very excited
to work closely with these student-athletes as we continue
our quest to win a championship.”
