Elmira finished 2011 on a down note, dropping games to Brockport and Geneseo. After earning a 5-0 record in the ECAC West early on, lowering its non-conference record to 2-5 by the holidays did not sit well with the team. After refocusing a bit over the month-long break, the Soaring Eagles are back on track … Read more

Last week’s picks were perfection, which certainly surprised me as much as anyone else. In an unusual bit of scheduling for Division III, the ECAC West plays in three weekend series with nonconference foes this week. Neumann travels to Fredonia and Manhattanville hosts Potsdam each for a pair of games. And Elmira plays a home-and-home … Read more

One of the most interesting aspects of college hockey is the continual renewal of talented players as they enter as freshmen and leave as seniors (mostly). Watching players develop their hockey skills from year to year, and grow as people as well, is a major reason that there are so many fans of this game. … Read more
Tonight’s game between the Geneseo Ice Knights (10-6) and the Hobart Statesmen (7-7) felt more like a junior contest between two rival towns in northern Canada rather than Division III college hockey. There were glass-shattering hits, tear-the-helmet-off drop-the-gloves fights, and pretty breakaway goals. Geneseo won the non-conference game 6-2. “We played as close to 60 … Read more
Freshman Tommy Traversa blew Hobart’s game open in the third period on Friday scoring a natural hat trick to break a 2-2 tie.

My picks were respectably mediocre over the holiday break. It is always an interesting challenge to try and figure out how teams will hit the ice after a break. Will they be rust?y Or will they be re-focused? You never know. This week, the ECAC West continues its roll through nonconference games, with most … Read more

Neumann came back from the holiday break quickly, winning the Pathfinder Bank Oswego Classic tournament last weekend. The Knights started the tournament with a 5-3 win over Hamline. The traditional style of hockey for teams from the western leagues like the Pipers, who play in the MIAC, is a more physical game emphasizing skill and … Read more
Utica and Neumann were the only ECAC West teams in action at holiday tournaments as 2011 finished and both faced top ranked teams. The Pioneers were at the Cardinal Classic hosted by Plattsburgh and drew a tough game against No. 3 Castleton, a team that has been climbing the polls all season long. Utica came … Read more

It was an up and down weekend for the ECAC West. Elmira suffered through the worst of the weekend, dropping an overtime game at Brockport and losing to Geneseo. Rumored illness might have caused some of the trouble for the Soaring Eagles’ stumble before the holidays. Elmira is now 2-5 outside of the league, which … Read more
