Big Red Hits Road to Open League Play
The following article appeared in the November 4 issue of the Cornell Daily Sun.
After a difficult loss on opening night, the men’s hockey team begins conference play against the same opponent that ended its 2010-11 season in dominating fashion. On Friday night at 7:30 p.m., Yale (1-0-1) hosts Cornell (0-1-0) in New Haven, Conn., as the two squads kick-off ECAC Hockey competition in a rematch of last year’s league championship game, which the Bulldogs won in a blowout, 6-0.
The Red returns to the ice on Saturday at 7 p.m. to close out the weekend on the road in a matchup with Brown (1-1-0). Though Cornell dominates the all-time series (68-41-5), the Bears earned victories the last two times the teams met.
While the Red features a considerably younger squad this season — including many new players, who were not a part of the season-ending defeat to Yale — the veterans leading the way say they have not erased the memories of that shutout loss in Atlantic City.
