With three crucial wins under its belt, the No. 3 men’s hockey team heads on the road this weekend for the first time this season to face Ivy League rivals Yale tonight, followed by Brown tomorrow night.

“Going on the road against Yale and Brown is always a tough trip. Last year our game was for first place and at Brown we went into overtime to win … but we have high expectations to go on the road and see what will happen,” said head coach Mike Schafer ’86.

With a combined 11 goals scored in last weekend’s games, the Red (3-0, 2-0 ECAC) has already demonstrated its talent early in the season. After losing to Yale (1-1-1, 0-1-1 ECAC) three times last year, including the game for the No. 1 spot in the ECAC Hockey league, Cornell is determined to change the outcome this time around.
