Looking to snap out of a lengthy losing skid, the Clarkson
University Hockey team returns to Cheel Arena this weekend after a
four-game road trip. The Golden Knights, guided by seventh-year
head coach George Roll, associate coach Greg Drechsel and newly
hired assistant coach Chris Rogles ’93, host Princeton
University on Friday at 7:00 p.m. and Quinnipiac University on
Saturday at 4:00 p.m. Following Saturday afternoon’s contest,
the Green and Gold will hold their annual "Skate With a
Knight."
Due to injury and illness, the Golden Knights had to put together
a patchwork lineup over the weekend in ECAC Hockey action in
NY’s Capital District region. Clarkson, with only 16 skaters
dressed in Friday’s game at Union, suffered its worst loss in
21 years with an 11-2 defeat to the Dutchmen. On Saturday, at
Rensselaer, the Knights, playing with 10 forwards, put in a much
better effort, but fell one-goal short in their bid for victory,
losing to the Engineers 2-1.
With six games remaining in the regular season, including four at
Cheel Arena, Clarkson owns a 5-20-3 overall record and is in 12th
place in ECAC Hockey with a 1-13-2 league mark. The Knights have
lost eight straight. Clarkson’s last victory was a 3-1
non-league triumph over Alabama-Huntsville on January 8 in Potsdam.
The Knights’ lone league victory was a 3-2 triumph at
Dartmouth on November 20. The Green and Gold also gained conference
points with a 2-2 tie at Harvard (11/21) and a 3-3 draw at St.
Lawrence (12/4). The Knights are 4-7-1 at Cheel and 1-11-2 on
opponents’ home ice.
