Yale made its first trip out of the Eastern Time Zone in just over two years a successful one. The Bulldogs returned to New Haven with a pair of overtime wins, knocking off then-No. 2 Denver 2-1 last Friday and then beating then-No. 14 Colorado College 6-5 the following night. “First off, I think it … Read more

What in the name of Nate Silver is going on? The first full weekend of conference play in ECAC Hockey was anything but predictable. Quinnipiac entered the weekend having scored just six goals in its last five games, while Cornell had allowed five goals over its first four games en route to a 3-0-1 start. … Read more

It will go down as a tie in the record books, but last Friday’s opener against Yale in the Ivy Shootout has to be satisfying for Dartmouth. The Big Green advanced to the championship game via shootout, snapping a 10-game skid against the Bulldogs dating to 2008. Dartmouth won Saturday’s game against Brown to take … Read more
Last week: 3-4-2 Overall: 8-13-3 Seems hard to believe it’s already week four of the season, doesn’t it? With all the Ivy teams starting play, this weekend marks the largest slate of games thus far, with only RPI and St. Lawrence out of action. Here’s a quick trivia question in honor of the Ivy teams … Read more

Bit of a quiet weekend, as only five teams played a regular season game, with the Ivies wrapping up their preseason scrimmages and Union out of action. Still, plenty of things to focus on, highlighted by St. Lawrence’s two-night romp over Maine in Orono. Line ’em up, sit ’em down: St. Lawrence is currently on … Read more

Earning a win and a tie against last year’s national runner-up will certainly open some eyes. But Rensselaer coach Seth Appert is more pleased with the way his team played against Ferris State as opposed to the final scores, a 3-1 win and a 2-2 tie against the Bulldogs at Houston Field House last weekend. … Read more
I picked up right where I left off last year in terms of my picking (in)ability. Regardless, here’s a look at this weekend as everyone except for the Ivy schools are in action.

But Prier isn’t about to use that as an excuse for Princeton, which tumbled to 11th place … Read more
The pieces, including the head coach, are there. Now it’s time to get results. Quinnipiac returns a strong group of players entering the 2012-13 season and should be in a good position to capture its first top-four spot since joining ECAC Hockey in 2005. “We have a nice core of returning players,” Bobcats coach Rand … Read more
