In their 2018 preseason rankings The Baltimore Sun . The author Edward Lee believes the Coach Scott Marr led Great Danes will be the best team in 2018. Lee says

Returns: Eight starters, including the entire attack of junior and Tewaaraton Award finalist Connor Fields (55 G, 62 A), junior Justin Reh (39 G, 19 A) and freshman Jakob Patterson (23 G, 3 A). Reason for optimism: An offense that led the country in scoring at 15.4 goals per game will benefit from the return of freshman faceoff specialist T.D. Ierlan (70.8 percent on 323-of-456, 202 GB, 2 G, 5 A).
