Team Notes: Clarkson Strives to Turn Season Around

The following article appeared January 27 on the Clarkson Web site.

 

Searching for answers in hopes of turning a disappointing season around, the Clarkson University Hockey team takes to the road for four straight games, beginning with this weekend’s trip to Central NY. The Golden Knights, guided by seventh-year head coach George Roll, associate coach Greg Drechsel and newly hired assistant coach Chris Rogles ’93, will look to generate some momentum as the regular season begins to wind down as they face off against Colgate and Cornell for the second time in three weeks.

On Friday, Clarkson battles Colgate in a 7:00 p.m. contest at Starr Rink in Hamilton, NY, in a game to be televised live by Time Warner Cable. The Green and Gold travel to Ithaca on Saturday to take on nationally-ranked Cornell in a 7:00 p.m. game at Lynah Rink.

With 10 games remaining on the schedule, Clarkson owns a 5-16-3 overall record and is in 12th place in ECAC Hockey with a 1-9-2 league mark. A recently completed six-game home stand at Cheel Arena did not go as planned as the Knights went just 1-4-1, including 0-4 in conference action, to start the New Year in Potsdam. Clarkson dropped a pair of 3-2 decisions over the weekend, falling to Yale and Brown to see their current winless skid reach five games (0-4-1).
