The men’s hockey team takes a hiatus from home play this weekend as it travels east for some conference play. Tonight, Cornell (8-9-2, 6-5-1 ECAC) will take on Ancient Eight foe Dartmouth (11-6-2, 7-4-1) in Hanover, N.H., before heading to Cambridge, Mass., tomorrow night for the first season matchup with arguably the Red’s biggest rival, Harvard (3-15-0, 2-11-0).
Cornell has been picking up speed since its unexpected less-than-spectacular start to the season. The team went on a streak of three wins, before tying Colgate in the first of two games played in the same weekend. The Red took down the Raiders, 5-2, in the second of the two ECAC teams’ meetings last Saturday night at Lynah Rink, and is hoping to continue to channel this momentum into this weekend’s games.
“Our record is 6-1-2 over the last nine games, and so I think we’re playing pretty solid hockey and have done so for a long time,” said head coach Mike Schafer ’86.
