The following article appeared February 5 on the Dartmouth Web site.

 

HANOVER, N.H. -- The Dartmouth men's hockey team is gearing up for a road weekend at Brown and Yale. The Big Green is looking to earn two league wins in a row as Dartmouth is currently in a tie for third in the league standings. The Big Green has tied three of its last four contests as Dartmouth has not put two wins together since Dec. 28 and 29. Earlier this season Dartmouth split with Brown and Yale.

SCOUTING BROWN
Brown is currently on a three-game losing streak as the Bears have not had a win since a 4-1 victory over Colgate on Jan. 23. Brown earned back-to-back ties against Western Michigan and Harvard on Jan. 3 and 9 but that’s the only time the Bears have been able to string together a non-losing streak. Currently Brown is being led by senior Matt Vokes with 18 points while freshman Jeff Buvinow has added 13. Senior Ryan Garbutt and junior Jordan Pietrus are the only other two players in double-figure scoring with 10 apiece. Three goalies have seen time in net but Dan Rosen seems to have carried the bulk of the load appearing in 14 games. Mike Clemente has played in seven games and Mark Sibbald has played in three. Rosen has a .900 save percentage and a 3.93 GAA. He sports a 1-10-3 record.

VERSUS BROWN

Dartmouth and Brown have been meeting since Feb. 22, 1928 when Dartmouth came away with a 15-0 win at home. That victory began a 12-game win streak for the Big Green. The Bears bounced back with several win streaks in the seventies and eighties as the series is almost even as Dartmouth leads 65-63-7. Brown swept the series last season but this year the Big Green scored a 5-1 victory at home.
