This Week in ECAC Hockey: Slow start to 2023-24 season now in past, Union gaining confidence, ‘starting to hit our stride as a team’

by

The first month of the season wasn’t necessarily the best of times for the Union hockey program. The Garnet Chargers had a new logo, a new name and a new identity, but they also had four losses in their first six games. They’d been wildly inconsistent in their results, and they bookended flashy scoring in … Read more

This Week in ECAC Hockey: Defending national champion Quinnipiac ‘doing well’ so far in ’23-24, but Bobcats still ‘a work in progress’

by

It was almost unfair how the start of the college hockey season saddled this year’s Quinnipiac team with the expectations and overarching shadow cast from last season. In a way, it was ironic because it built requisite pomp around a situation that this iteration never experienced. For the first time in program history, the Bobcats … Read more

It’s impossible to win a college hockey championship in November.
