Last Train out of Albany
The NCAA hasn’t given up on Albany, but ECAC Hockey has. This weekend marks the last time for the foreseeable future that the league will host its championship tournament in the Empire State’s capital city. Next year? Atlantic City … the city that’s “always turned on”. Multiple public-address announcements publicized the change-of-venue during the weekend’s … Read more

Brown’s Volpatti Gets in Some Stats-‘Patt’ing
Brown’s Aaron Volpatti set a school record Saturday, but maybe not the kind you’d always hope to have.
Brown Out: Rosen, Bears Blank St. Lawrence
It may have been a consolation game with no postseason ramifications, but St. Lawrence and Brown played a hard-fought game nonetheless at Albany’s Times-Union Center on Saturday afternoon. The Bears persevered through an up-and-back contest, ultimately dispatching the Saints 3-0 in the final game of the season for each team. Junior Harry Zolnierczyk scored and … Read more
Signed, Sealed, Delivered: Scrivens Guides Cornell to Title Game

This Week in ECAC Hockey: March 17, 2010
Let’s face it: Even though this is a pretty unusual quartet, Albany-wise, it’s not the first time we’ve seen them. If you want the nitty-gritty on each team, I recommend reading the past two columns … this is purely the final polish. Go get ’em, boys. No. 11 Brown The bear went over the mountain … Read more
Road Warriors: Merrimack Stuns Boston University
Score one for the little guy. Sixth-seeded Merrimack College tallied its first-ever win at Boston University’s Agganis Arena, and it couldn’t have come at a better time: the 3-2 overtime victory forced a deciding third game in the Hockey East quarterfinal. Freshmen Stephane Da Costa and Brandon Brodhag scored for the Warriors (16-18-2), but it … Read more
Cornell Pastes Harvard, Advances to First Frozen Four
The Ivy League is a conference of heroes and legends, positively saturated in tradition and pride. It is an association of sportsmen and scholars, who respect history, and prefer not to cause a fuss when it comes to pursuits of an athletic persuasion. It seems Cornell didn’t get that dispatch. The iconoclastic Big Red (20-8-6) … Read more
This Week in ECAC Hockey: March 11, 2010

No. 11 Brown @ No. 1 Yale There’s no two ways about it: Brown has a massive challenge ahead of it in Yale. “We’re … Read more
This Week in ECAC Hockey: March 4, 2010
Last season’s final column started with a quote from wily St. Lawrence coach Joe Marsh. (And really, is there a better way to describe Marsh in a coaching context? If so, I’d love to hear it.) “In the playoffs there’s almost the mentality that you have to go twice as hard to go half as … Read more

This Week in ECAC Hockey: Feb. 25, 2010
How spectacular is this? One weekend left, two games apiece, and almost nothing is predetermined. ECAC Hockey has only one team that is locked into its seed, and only three that know their “grouping” (first-round bye, in this case) … and those three are all fighting for the Cleary Cup. Everybody else is fighting to … Read more
