It seemed like just last week Yale was hoisting the NCAA title in Pittsburgh — and now we’re just over six months away from crowning a new national champion in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
Just like any other college campaign, a number of familiar faces from the previous season won’t be back. Gone is last year’s NCAA scoring champion Rylan Schwartz (Colorado College), along with other top 10 national scorers Danny Kristo (North Dakota), Erik Haula (Minnesota), Hobey Baker Award winner Drew LeBlanc (St. Cloud State), Corban Knight (North Dakota) and Kyle Flanagan (St. Lawrence).<\/p>\n
There’s still plenty of puck-moving talent up front coming back in the college ranks, though.<\/p>\n
After consulting with a number of NCAA coaches, here’s a look at 10 Division I forwards to keep an eye on in 2013-14, listed in alphabetical order. This doesn’t necessarily mean they’re the biggest, fastest or strongest examples out there, nor surefire Hobey Baker Award finalists, nor locks to go on to successful NHL careers.<\/p>\n
They are, however, 10 players who more than likely will give you your money’s worth when you sit down to watch them in action this season, from now until April.<\/p>\n
