It hasn&#8217;t even been six months since Yale won the national title, but the ECAC is ready to go with Clarkson and Colgate each starting the regular season this weekend.

Don&#8217;t look for another season-opening romp, as Ferris State goalie CJ Motte was excellent last season despite a mediocre year as a team for the Bulldogs. One thing to watch is who will start in goal for Colgate. Holdovers Spencer Finney and Eric&#160;Mihalik split time last season, but are joined by freshman Charlie Finn.&#160; <strong>Ferris State wins<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Clarkson at Niagara, 7:05 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong>The Golden Knights ended last season in an offensive slump, and won&#8217;t find it easy against what looks to be a strong Niagara team, even minus goalie Carsen Chubak, who went pro after leading the Purple Eagles to the NCAA tournament.&#160; Clarkson head coach Casey Jones said there would plenty of competition for spots in the lineup, so it will be interesting to see who&#8217;s out there for the opening weekend. <strong>Niagara wins<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday, Oct. 6<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Clarkson at Niagara, 2:05 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong>I could see a Clarkson win Saturday carrying over into the series finale. But the Purple Eagles should finish the sweep. <strong>Niagara wins<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ferris State at Colgate, 4 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The teams conclude the Bulldogs&#8217; first visit to Starr Rink since the 2003-04 with an afternoon game. I think the Raiders get a win against the 2012 national runner up. <strong>Colgate wins<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Thursday, Oct. 10<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Colgate at RIT, 7 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong>RIT&#8217;s team defense was near the bottom of the national leader board last year, while the Tigers&#8217; penalty kill was in the middle of the pack. That&#8217;s bad news against a Colgate team that can score in bunches and has a potent power-play unit. The Raiders should get the win in rare Thursday night game. This is also the Raiders&#8217; only matchup against an Atlantic Hockey team this season. <strong>Colgate wins<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome back for another season of weekly picks.
