After taking three out of four points last weekend with an exciting overtime win over RPI and a tie with #20 Union, Brown has a golden opportunity this weekend to gain ground in the race for home ice in the first round of the ECAC playoffs.

Wins against Harvard (Friday at 7 p.m.) and Dartmouth (Saturday at 4 p.m.) at Meehan Auditorium would lift the Bears into at least eighth place. An eighth-place finish or above would guarantee home ice in the opening playoff round.

“Our goal is home ice, to see how high we can get,” said coach Brendan Whittet.
