Coming off the program's fourth conference championship and 16th NCAA Tournament appearance, the Babson College hockey team is set to kick off it's 2009-10 season. Guided by sixth-head coach Jamie Rice, the Beavers will once again hope to challenge for the ECAC East title this winter. Babson will be led this year by senior captain Mike McMahon and senior assistant caotains Jason Schneider and Chris Sabo. A veteran defenseman, McMahon played in all 28 of the team's games a year ago and contributed one assist. Schneider returns after leading the team with 11 goals and 22 assists for 33 points while playing all 28 games last winter, and Sabo is coming off a solid campaign in which he amassed two goals and five assists for seven points in 25 contests.
