CHRIS
D'ALVISE
Clarkson
Jr . | F | Mississauga, Ontario
D'Alvise has been a consistent player and point
producer, but bigger things are expected of him
for 2007-08.
Key Statistics: D'Alvise
has been a steady point producer and reliable forward
for Clarkson over his first two seasons. He had 25 points
as a freshman and 26 points last year. His 16 goals
as a sophomore tied for third on the team.
What He Does: D'Alvise
is a steady forward and another weapon in Clarkson's
deep group of talented forwards. He's part of the reason
that opponents can't focus on shutting down one or two
Golden Knight line combinations. With added strength
this year, D'Alvise could move up into the 35-40 point
range and help offset the early departure of last year's
leading scorer, Shawn Weller.
The Bigger Picture: ECAC Hockey followers
won't think of D'Alvise as readily as other top Clarkson
forwards like Steve Zalewski, Nick Dodge, and Weller,
but without D'Alvise and players like him, the others
wouldn't have produced the point totals they did. Clarkson's
prolific offense, which ranked eighth nationally last
year, comes from a balanced attack. D'Alvise is another
one of those guys that is always dangerous and keeps
the pressure on the opposition
Clarkson head coach George Roll
on Chris D'Alvise: "It's hard to describe
what he does, because he does everything so well. Chris
is a guy that just loves the game and loves to play
hockey. He stays on the ice after every practice. I
really think he's poised for a breakout season."
