NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Yale men's hockey team, which began
practice eight days ago, warmed up for the 2011-12 regular season
by hosting the University of Waterloo tonight in an exhibition
contest. The Bulldogs had the advantage in shots, 42-32, but came
up a goal shy in a 2-1 decision at Ingalls Rink.
The Warriors, winners of five of their six games this season, got a
pair of goals from forward Chris Ray to take the first of a
two-game swing through ECAC Hockey. Ray tallied at 13:30 of the
first to even things at 1-1 and then slipped a low wrister past
Connor Wilson (7 saves) at 7:32 of the third for the game winner.
Waterloo, which did not allow a shot on net after the Elis pulled
their goalie for the last 74 seconds, plays at Brown on Sunday.
The Bulldogs had a 1-0 lead in the first period when junior forward
Antoine Laganiere converted a feed from sophomore Clinton
Bourbonais. Laganiere, with a man-advantage, held the puck for a
moment before firing a low wrister stick side on Keaton Hartigan
(41 saves).
Yale, ranked No. 9 in both Division I polls this week, suited up
all but two players on its roster and experimented with a variety
of line combinations.
Junior Jeff Malcolm got the start in net for Yale and stopped seven
of eight shots in the first frame. Classmate Nick Maricic had the
most action by stopping all 16 shots in the second period before
Wilson, the newcomer, took over in the third. The three Bulldog
netminders combined to blank the Warriors on five power plays.
"I think we learned a lot tonight," said Keith Allain '80, Yale's
Malcolm G. Chace Head Coach of Hockey. "This sends a good message
to our guys. You need a certain intensity level to compete in our
league, and it's hard to simulate that in practice."
The Elis open the regular season in the Ivy Shootout next Friday
afternoon at Hanover, N.H. Yale plays Princeton at 4:00 and
then skates against Dartmouth Saturday at 7 p.m.
