Eddie Caron was spectacular as a 16 year old freshman at Phillips-Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, then missed half of his third season with mono. He is typical of the Kevin Lowe era of Oilers drafting, a very young player with tremendous raw skills and upside.
After not playing the 2002-03 due to an ineligibility case between Yale and New Hampshire transfer, Caron was back playing with New Hampshire in 2003-04.
Enjoyed a fast start offensively in Greenville in 2004-05 but then broke his leg knocking him out of action for nearly two months.
