Thanks to the pandemic, this is a particularly interesting year in the ECAC thanks to the presence of the Ivies, who basically have a double senior class. A number of schools graduated players who rewrote their program\u2019s record books. Maybe more than any other conference, ECAC teams took to the portal to round out their rosters and there are dozens of players that left one ECAC school for a conference rival. There were five ECAC teams in last year\u2019s NCAA Tournament and a couple more than felt like they just missed out.\u00a0 Basically, there\u2019s no lack of storylines to get excited about this season and it\u2019s going to be amazing to watch it all play out.<\/p>\n
