A long and difficult regular season comes to a close for the Clarkson University Hockey team this weekend when the Golden Knights host Harvard University and Dartmouth College in the final games at Cheel Arena for the 2009-10 campaign. Guided by seventh-year head coach George Roll, associate coach Greg Drechsel and assistant coach Chris Rogles ’93, Clarkson will look to set the ground work for a strong postseason run with a solid showing in the regular-season finale. The Green and Gold battle the Crimson on Friday night, starting at 7:30 p.m. and then take on the Big Green on Saturday, which is also Senior Night, at 7:00 p.m.

Clarkson’s Class of 2010 – Matt Beca (Mississauga, ONT), Jeremiah Crowe (Kenmore, NY) and Tim Marks (Brownville, NY) will make their final appearance before the home crowd this weekend. The Knights’ seniors have compiled 64 victories, participated in two NCAA Tournaments (2007, 2008), and played a key role in Clarkson winning the 2007 ECAC Hockey Tournament championship and the 2007-08 conference regular season title.

Clarkson owns a 7-22-3 overall record and a 3-15-2, 12th-place ECAC Hockey mark. The Golden Knights are 6-7-1 at Cheel Arena, including a pair of wins in their last games in Potsdam. Clarkson earned its only weekend sweep in conference play this season by defeating Princeton (4-3) and Quinnipiac (4-1) at Cheel on February 12-13.
