Knocking at the Dorrstep

Michael  Dorr, is getting ready to enter what is hopefully his first full season as a college hockey player. A midseason transfer from the University of Minnesota, Dorr had to sit out the second half of his freshman year and first half of his sophomore year due to NCAA's transfer rules. Michael has traveled a bit under the radar, partially because of his limited playing time. But, that doesn't mean he hasn't had an impact for the Mavericks. Dorr played in 22 games last year scoring five goals and adding 11 assists to lead the Mavericks with .727 points per game.

If the Mavericks are looking to have success this year they will not only need strong play between the pipes, but a scorer to light the lamp at the other end of the ice. Michael Dorr can be that guy for the Mavericks. Coach Jutting has stated that Michael is a scorer and has the ability to put the puck in the back of the net. A perfect example of that was his first game as a Maverick when he scored the game winner and added an assist in a 3-2 win over perviously fourth ranked Bemidji State. Keep on eye on #23 for the Mavericks this year as there are big expectations for Mr. Dorr to help lead the Mavericks in the scoring column.
