Noel Blanchet doesn't really have too many focused goals coming into his first SMJHL season. So far he has been set up fairly well rounded as he wants to be able to contribute at both ends of the ice early on. Over the course of the season one of Noel's major goals will be to develop his offense a bit as Blanchet is already an okay skater, strong physically and decent defensively. As his offensive game develops we will see the points start to come along with it near the end of the season.

Outside of individual goals, another goal of Blanchet is to do what he can to help the Colorado Raptors move forward and build towards an eventual SMJHL Championship. Colorado is coming into this season with a lot of young players on the squad mixed with a few key vets, so Noel feels that it's important to be a strong presence in the locker room, keeping the other rookies focused, engaged, and working hard through the dog days of the season.
