Providence College River Avenue • Providence, Rhode Island 02918 October 10, 2001 Dear Providence College Students: This is a very special year for Providence College basketball. On Friday night, we will tip off the 75th season of Friar basketball. I would like to invite all students to join us on October 12 as we open our 2001-02 season with Late Night Madness festivities that begin at 10:45 p.m. in Alumni Hall. Last season, we finished with a 21-10 record, including a school-record 11 BIG EAST victories. We also earned our first NCAA bid since the 1997 season. We are looking to continue this success in 2001-02. A big part of our success is based on the support of our student body. This support can begin on Friday at Late Night Madness. Please come join us in Alumni Hall as we begin preparing for another memorable season of Friar basketball. Sincerely, Tim Welsh Head Basketball Coach JJW Credits Front and back page cover photos taken by 381 Smith St. John Englishmen ’03, Cowl Photography Providence, RI Manager.

Cowl’s Sport Staff, who put in many extra hours Looking for College Bands on to produce this issue. Thursday Nights 3 A Long Way from Yellow Grass -An interview with Friars junior goaltender Nolan Schaefer- Those were two good players that we had leaving, but I don’t feel like there is by Brendan McGair ’03 any extra pressure. Goaltending has a lot of pressure to it, but we have a great young defensive squad led by Regan Kelly, Jason Platt, and Stephen Wood. Those guys can help pick up the slack that we lost with Jay and Matt. Head Coach Paul Pooley stated that he will utilize the speed of the team to its advantage in order to create fast breaks, how do you feel about the opposing team possibly being able to create fast breaks of their own against you? If the other team comes down on the fast break I’m going to do the best I can to stop them. I know our guys can clear the puck up and get things back in their zone. With last season’s excellent team performance (which included an NCAA birth), did it give the team the confidence and experience it needs to make the jump to the next level? Definitely, a lot of the guys got a taste of what is to come, what it is like in playoffs, and what it is like to win. When you have the type of seniors we had leading the younger guys , it hopefully rubbed off on them for this season. How does it feel to be ranked Number 1 in the Hockey East Preseason Coaches Poll, yet still not garnering a single first place vote? First place and second place votes don’t really matter to me, I don’t think that the voting counts at all. The biggest thing in Hockey East is who finishes first in the end and voting is all aside. You had an outstanding sophomore year in which you received All Hockey East and All-American honors after an injury plagued freshman season, what was the factor (or factors) behind the great turnaround? I had, as you mentioned, a couple of injuries my first year. My second year, we really bonded as a team, and it was a great team in front of me that helped me to play good. I think if you look at “Boydo’s” number’s, they were not too far off of Nolan Schaefer returns for his third season as goalie for mine, and he played just as well as me. When you have a good team in front of you the Friars. The junior had an outstanding sophomore however, it’s easy to do the job. season in which he received All Hockey East and All- What goals have you set for yourself this upcoming season? American honors. Schaefer joinedformer Friar great Chris Statistic goals. I would like to keep it under two goals a game, keep a 90% save Terreri as the only PC goaltenders to be named All- percentage. I basically just want to help the team and get the “W”. Those little American. A fifth round draft pick by the San Jose Sharks in insignificant individual goals don’t really matter as long as you get the “W”. the 2000 NHL Draft, Schaefer will be key to PC’s success Is there a chance that you might turn pro after this season? this upcoming season. I really don’t know what the situation is. I would love to turn pro anytime but I Who were some of your biggest influences growing up in Saskatchewan? would like to finish school as well. It is a good thing to get your education and I just want to play the best I can this season. Definitely my parents, they really put me in a lot of activities. My brother, my sister, and I are all pretty athletic, so most of my influence comes from them. They are both hard working and really good athletes and I would like to follow in their footsteps. How helpful was graduated Friars goalie Boyd Ballard in your development? “Boydo” was really great, he was the guy who got me to start playing goal. He was on my brother’s team and I was the water boy. Boydo would always talk to me about goaltending and that is kind of how I got started. With defensemen Jay Leach and Matt Libby graduating last spring, do you feel any pressure to step up your game with an inexperienced blue line in front ofyou? 605 Douglas Avenue Providence, Rl 02908 401-274-1 BBQ Bernie Watson www.LJsBBQ Pitmaster courtesy PC Sports Info. 4 2001-2002 #13 - Peter Fregoe #24 - Drew Omicioli #22 - Marc Suderman Senior Left Wing Senior Left Wing Senior Left Wing 5’9” 185 lbs. 5’10” 175 lbs. 6’0” 175 lbs.

Check out his articles and critiques after each game on USCHO.com. The PC Men’s Hockey Team enjoyed a break out year last season, but the focus of this year’s squad is hardly counting memories from that historic run. The Friars, ranked 5th nationally in the USA Today Preseason Poll, look to surpass last season’s mark of 22-13-5 en route to the greatest season in PC Hockey history. Last week the Friars were given the nod as the preseason favorite to win the Hockey East title, edging out perennial favorites Maine, BC, and UNH. Although this national attention is something new for a young squad, Coach Pooley remains optimistic that the Friars can continue on their path to success in the ’Ol-’O2 campaign.
