By Benjamin Lefkowitz One decision paid dividends for Syracuse Men’s Hockey for the past four years.

With offensive staples like Sam Hutchinson, Brock Alvers and Evan Vassilovski gone, the window swung open for its freshman class to make an immediate impact.  So far, no first-year player has done so more than Nathan McLean.
