DuPont's early season form is becoming an issue, don't want to get on his back but I'm not seeing much from him.
Maybe he's playing with an injury, maybe he's finding it hard to settle here or maybe he's finding it difficult to balance his duel playing/coaching role.
My guess is that it's the latter - it's a more difficult task than people generally give credit for, and perhaps he wasn't quite expecting the standard here to be as competitive as it is, and his focus is a little off kilter with his time also being consumed by coaching and preparation (presuming he is studying a lot of game videos).
Agree with comments about 19-man roster - shortsighted and poorly thought out but hey, it's the EIHL.
