2006-07 Clarkson Season Preview
The Golden Knights of Clarkson have shown some promise over the last few years since George Roll has taken over, but it never really has materialized. This season, there is hope that it just may.

2006-07 Yale Season Preview
When we last saw Yale, the Bulldogs had been beaten by Dartmouth in the ECACHL quarterfinals after a thrilling two-game win over Union in the first round. When we last saw Yale, we also saw Tim Taylor behind the Bulldog bench for the last time. The Bulldogs decided to make a change, naming Yale alum … Read more
UND Earns Sweep Over Quinnipiac
Danged if you do. Danged if you don’t. The night after Quinnipiac held North Dakota’s top line of super sophomores Jonathan Toews, T.J. Oshie and Ryan Duncan to one power-play goal, the trio accounted for all four Fighting Sioux goals in a 4-2 win and nonconference sweep of the Bobcats at Ralph Engelstad Arena. “They’re … Read more
Sacred Heart Soars Past Lindenwood, 10-6
Junior Katelin McLaughlin and sophomore Gina Arnone each had a hat trick and senior Michelle Panella scored two goals as the Sacred Heart Pioneers held off Lindenwood Saturday at Wonderland of Ice.

2006-07 Union Season Preview
The last time the Union Dutchmen were on the ice, they had just been defeated by Yale in five overtimes. For the second year in a row, the Dutchmen had earned home ice in the ECACHL playoffs, but could not advance to the next round. This year, the Dutchmen hope things will be different. The … Read more
Niagara Earns North Country Split
So many penalties, so little time. Niagara’s season-opening foray to the North Country yielded a split thanks to Matt Caruana’s dramatic third period goal Saturday night at St. Lawrence. Moments before scoring the game-winning tally that insured Niagara’s 4-3 victory over the Saints, Caruana was stoned on a penalty shot. But the lanky centerman atoned … Read more
Catamounts Claim Ice Breaker
After a stellar performance against Denver on opening night at the Steve Cady Arena, the No. 8 Miami RedHawks (1-1-0) could not seem to find the same intensity against the Vermont Catamounts (2-0-0) as they dropped the Ice Breaker Championship game, 4-1. The difference maker for the Catamounts was junior goaltender Joe Fallon. After shutting … Read more
2006-07 Cornell Season Preview
The team that everyone had pegged as the one to beat the last few years in the ECACHL is not that team this year — or at least not according to the prognosticators. Cornell has been a favorite in the ECACHL the last few years, and with good reason, as the Big Red have become … Read more
Clarkson Wins In School’s 2000th Game
Another solid effort in goal by junior David Leggio and a two-goal outing by classmate David Cayer helped lift Clarkson to a 4-2 victory over a stubborn RIT squad before a crowd of 2,549 at Cheel Arena on Saturday in the 2,000th all-time game played by the Golden Knights. Clarkson, which defeated Niagara, 7-3, in … Read more
2006-07 Princeton Season Preview
To say that last year’s Princeton Tiger squad was a little young would be accurate. Only two regular forwards, two regular defensemen and one goaltender were seniors. But this year, there is a lot of experience coming back, so perhaps head coach Guy Gadowsky has started to put his team together in New Jersey. Grant … Read more
2006-07 Rensselaer Season Preview
The Rensselaer Engineers will go into the new season with a new coach and a new attitude. Dan Fridgen’s contract was not renewed after last season and new bench boss Seth Appert hopes to bring his style to a team that has not advanced very far in the last few years. What is there for … Read more
2006-07 Quinnipiac Season Preview
As their first year in the ECACHL commenced last year, few knew what to expect from the Quinnipiac Bobcats. The results: a run close to a home-ice spot, and a first-round win over Rensselaer in the conference playoffs. Now people know what the Bobcats can do — challenge the best in the ECACHL. “As a … Read more
2006-07 ECACHL Season Preview
So much has changed since I last was in this spot. It used to be the ECAC; now it’s the ECACHL. There are seven new head coaches in the ECACHL since then. Mark Dekanich is the reigning ECACHL Goaltender of the Year (photo: Melissa Wade). There is a new team in the ECACHL. There is … Read more
2006-07 St. Lawrence Season Preview
What do you do when four of your top five point-producers, accounting for 129 points, from last season graduate? You retool and hope that some players step it up. That is exactly the scenario for St. Lawrence and head coach Joe Marsh this year. With the graduations of T.J. Trevelyan, Mike Madill, Mike Zbriger and … Read more
Wisconsin Scores Two Late To Tie
Before the puck dropped between Northern Michigan and Wisconsin Saturday night, UW head coach Mike Eaves gave Brian Elliott the night off to rest up and give his backup, sophomore Shane Connelly, some ice time. Evidently, Wisconsin’s offense decided to take most of the night off too. However, the Badgers woke up just in the … Read more
2006-07 Dartmouth Season Preview
For several years now, the Dartmouth Big Green have been touted as the team to beat in the ECACHL. That expectation reached its fruition last season with a regular-season championship, shared with Colgate. The Big Green came so close to making the NCAA tournament, but couldn’t get over that hump. Perhaps this year, it’s time. … Read more
2006-07 Brown Season Preview
Youth, youth and more youth. That’s the story for the Brown Bears this season. Last season was one that head coach Roger Grillo and Brown hope to forget except for one simple thing — experience. The Bears will return their top 12 scorers this season, but, and it’s a big but, only one of the … Read more
2006-07 Colgate Season Preview
The Colgate Raiders have been tabbed as the team to beat in the ECACHL this season — and who can blame people for thinking that? Three of the top four scorers return, as does most of the defense and preseason All-ECACHL selection Mark Dekanich in goal. Dekanich took over last season between the pipes and … Read more
