Key Statistics: Esposito played on several lines and had nine points and four goals in 31 games. Esposito showed up and contributed to the Cornell roster from a third and fourth line position on a team dominated by upperclassmen.

What He Does: The rising sophomore made a commitment to both ends of the rink and still found ways to contribute. He is undersized, but reminds fans of former Cornell stars such as Ryan Vesce and Topher Scott.

The Bigger Picture: He was a pupil of strong leadership and bought into the Cornell system. Now, as a sophomore he can be a peer to the newcomers and also instill the values of last year’s seniors. More importantly, he will fit into a top line role and be one of the leaders as Cornell takes its place among the league’s elite.

John Esposito looking forward to this year: “A lot of the guys who played last year on the second and third lines are moving up and we know we need to have a bigger year.”
