History
2006-07: Eno spent the season in the relatively obscure, northeastern US-based Eastern Junior Hockey League (EJHL) on the advice of his high school coach. Playing for a weak Green Mountain (VT) Glades team, Eno finished in the top 10 in both GAA and save percentage and earned a trip to the EJHL All-Star game. Eno is the first player to be drafted to the NHL from the Green Mountain franchise.
2007-08: Eno was a CCHA All-Rookie Team selection after starting in 21 out of 23 games played that season for Bowling Green State University. He posted a 12-10-0 record and finished with a 2.79 goals-against average and a .905 save percentage. He got his first collegiate start and victory in the Falcons’ win at RIT on Oct. 18, stopping 29-of-32 shots faced. His 2-0 start made him the first BG freshmen to start 2-0 in net since Bob Petrie did it during the 1993-94 season. He made 53 stops on 55 shots in a two-game home-and-home sweep of Western Michigan (Jan. 18-19). Eno won his first career playoff start with 20 saves in game one over Lake Superior State on Mar. 7 and was just the third Falcon goaltender to be named to the CCHA All-Rookie Team. His goals-against average ranked as the seventh-best single-season average in school history, while his save percentage ranked tied for seventh.
Talent Analysis
An athletic player who needs to refine his craft and mature as a competitor. He needs to avoid getting too down on himself after giving up a goal, and to build overall confidence. Technically, he needs to improve in a number of areas, particularly in challenging shooters and stickhandling.
Future
After stepping in after the unexpected departure of the projected starter, Eno is in a good spot at Bowling Green. It will not be a surprise if he takes full advantage of his remaining three years of NCAA eligibility and works to fill in the gaps in his game. He doesn’t currently project as a regular NHL starter, but does have time to develop.
