POTSDAM — Area hockey fans get a bonus this season as the Clarkson and St. Lawrence hockey are facing each other in two nonconference games in addition to the two required ECAC Hockey contests.

The nonconference games take place this weekend, with Clarkson traveling to Appleton Arena for a 7 p.m. game Saturday and the Saints playing at Cheel Arena at 4 p.m. Sunday in a game that will be televised nationally by ESPNU. The two teams play their league games against each other on Feb. 6 and 7.

"The north country just loves to have these two teams compete, and it's a lot of fun that we can all use in the winter," said SLU athletic director Margie Strait. "It's a good idea we established together to create more fun, and it's guaranteed seats."
