Some statistical tidbits to look out for as the 2016-17 season starts in just one week:
| Top UAH scorers since the 2007-08 season | |||
| G | A | Pts | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Andrew Coburn | 21 | 33 | 54 |
| Chad Brears | 19 | 27 | 46 |
| Max McHugh | 19 | 26 | 45 |
| Brandon Roshko | 3 | 42 | 45 |
- Junior Max McHugh may be the Chargers’ most potent scorer in a decade. He has 19 goals and 45 points in his UAH career, leading all active Chargers in just two seasons. McHugh has the third-most goals and third-most points in the last nine seasons.
- Four players have a shot to catch and pass the all-time UAH record for career games played, which is 137 by Joel Bresciani (1999-2003). Brent Fletcher, Cody Marooney, and Brandon Carlson, at 105 games played each, can catch Bresciani if they play 32 of UAH’s 34 regular-season games this season (plus any postseason play). Matt Salhany, with 103 games played, could also catch Bresciani.

Matt Larose
UAH has two senior goaltenders, Matt Larose and Carmine Guerriero, for the first time since the 1986-87 season (Barry Friedman and Jim Mitchell).
- Guerriero has played 3,911 minutes in his UAH career, which is fourth-most in school history. He is 747 minutes (about 13 full games) from catching Mark Byrne (1999-2003) for third place. Guerriero’s .914 save percentage is second in UAH’s modern Division I history and third all-time.
- Should the Chargers make the WCHA playoffs, the first game will be the 1,000th varsity game in UAH’s hockey history. The Jan. 7 game against Minnesota State will be the Chargers’ 500th varsity home game.
- Freshman Austin Beaulieu of Coral Springs will be UAH’s second player from Florida and first since Mike Dalton (1982-86). Freshman Sean Rappleyea of Sayre will be UAH’s second player from New Jersey and first since James Kodrowski (1998-2000).
