Assistant coach Brian Wiseman: ���A very solid, reliable forward from last year that really came on in the last half of the year.

Assistant coach Billy Powers: ���Lee Moffie really came on in the second half a year ago. He came into Michigan as a kid that could contribute offensively from the blue line, and it really showed last year in the second half. He really jumpstarted our power play and scored some key goals down the stretch in the playoffs. I���m sure Lee is walking in here, based on the way he finished last year, with confidence that couldn���t be any higher. I think as a junior, he���s looking to be an impact player.��� Honors & Awards: Received Academic All-Big Ten honors and the University of Michigan Athletic Academic Achievement award in 2010-11 ��� Also received the University of Michigan Athletic Academic Achievement award in 2009-10.

Assistant coach Billy Powers: ���Mac came to us a year ago out of prep school an offensive defenseman, great feet, powerful skater. I think, as the year wore on last year, he was another guy that played his best hockey in the second half. I think he had adjusted to college hockey pace and systems, and really started to show who Mac Bennett is, and I know that he���s had a terrific spring and summer. ���He���s a guy that I think will bring people out of their seats this year. I think he���s going to be a great offensive contributor to our club.��� Honors & Awards: None.
