Lang noted that Barriga went to UNLV in part to work on his academics for a year before he was able to even play at the Division One level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His staff was undeterred,&nbsp;as Lang said &#8221; we were scouring everywhere&#8221;,&nbsp;and because of where Elijah was playing after his time in junior hockey ended,&nbsp;he did not have to sit a year and was eligible right away.&nbsp;Lang wondered where Barriga went to school initially,&nbsp;researching where he went to school.&nbsp;Lang could not say enough good things about the Finnish forward who is only in his first year in North American hockey.&nbsp;As Lang noted,&nbsp;Julius liked the strong European representation in AIC\u2019s recent history,&nbsp;and made the choice to come to AIC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8221; Lang is over the moon about the potential of Janhonen,&nbsp;saying &#8220;we got pretty lucky on him&#8221; coming to campus,&nbsp;and that&nbsp;,&#8221; he could be an NHL prospect at the end of the day.&nbsp;Like so many players on this team,&nbsp;he can play anywhere as a forward,&nbsp;in every role Lang needs him to,&nbsp;and has the potential to succeed at each one.&nbsp;There is so much depth to this team,&nbsp;the staff can rotate players in and out to preserve effectiveness,&nbsp;and not have to rush players like Durante or Fladeby back to game action before they are both ready to come back to the lineup.&nbsp;When making the case for his team Lang harkened back to the series loss at the hands of Quinnipiac in December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a year with limited non conference opportunities,&nbsp;Lang took the time to note the history of this program in the NCAA Tournament,&nbsp;their 26-4 record in the last 30 games,&nbsp;and more.&nbsp;At the end of the day,&nbsp;depth is this team\u2019s biggest advantage over its opponents.&nbsp;As Lang said &#8220;This is the deepest team I\u2019ve ever had.&#8221; That depth,&nbsp;and competitive drive his players have extends off the ice as well.&nbsp;As Lang took the time to mention,&nbsp;his program is one of the very few,&nbsp;and potentially the only program to have either a valedictorian or salutatorian for the past five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you look to who may be in the postseason in March,\u00a0AIC,\u00a0on the strength of their conference record,\u00a0and consistency throughout the year,\u00a0combined with past history,\u00a0is a strong candidate for an at-large bid,\u00a0according to Lang.\u00a0Lang\u2019s team reflects the person who coaches them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/seamoresports.com\/2021\/02\/02\/aic-is-grooving-head-coach-eric-lang-explains-why\/\">Read more&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Source:<\/strong> TERPANESE | Seamoresports<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They are 26-4 in their last 30 games&nbsp;,&nbsp;and have just one conference loss in twelve conference games played this year.&nbsp;Head Coach Eric Lang is leading a team that has three&#8230;
