...deep are the Golden Knight blueliners that Coach Mark Morris bumped Buddy Wallace up to forward. Then again, with only three seniors returning up front, youth will indeed be the watchword of the Clarkson offense. Chris Clark, who tallied a respectable 34 points last year, will be forced to shoulder the majority of the offensive burden...
