"'I still have something to prove this year," Herr said. "I've played one game, and I just made it to the third period." Herr proved his worth last season. Besides his 29 goals last year - sec- ond highest on the team - and his offensive presence, Herr is a valu- able leader for the Wolverines. *ei It ard"4 During preseason practices without coaches, Herr acted as an extra coach on the ice by helping guide a team made up mostly of fresh- men.

The Alpine, N.J., native should be able to take some of the scoring bur- den off assistant captain Muckalt and junior center Bobby H-ayes. The duo has been responsible for the majority of Michigan's offense. But Herr isn't prepared to rush anything.0 "I've been doing a lot of rehab and building up to this day," Herr said.

Although only goaltender Greg Daddario, freshmen Scott Crawford, Bob Gassoff and Troy Kahler joined the senior on the ice, Herr organized a variety of shooting and skating drills. That experienced guidance is what Michigan could use more of. "Billy (Muckalt), Marty (Turco), Chris (Fox) and Greg (Crozier) have been doing a great job with the freshmen," Herr said.
