HANOVER, N.H. – The Dartmouth men's hockey team is ready for its second season to begin with an ECAC Hockey first round playoff date with Quinnipiac this weekend, March 5, 6 and 7 if necessary. The Big Green will take on the Bobcats at the TD Banknorth Sports Center in Hamden, Conn., at 7:00 pm on all three days. The first round is a best-of-three series. It's the first time that Dartmouth and Quinnipiac have ever met in the playoffs.

SCOUTING QUINNIPIAC
Quinnipiac finished the regular season seventh in the ECAC Hockey standings with a 17-15-2 overall record, 11-11 in the league. The Bobcats won both of their games last weekend snapping a three-game losing streak. Quinnipiac has won four and tied one out of the last 10 games they’ve played.

The Bobcats started the season strong winning 12 out of its first 13 games. But then a 10-game nonwinning streak ensued and Quinnipiac found itself struggling to stay afloat.
The Bobcats are currently being led by senior Brandon Wong with a total of 37 points. He also leads the squad in goals scored with 17 and power play goals with 12. He’s also notched four game winners. Classmates Eric Lampe and Jean-Marc Beaudoin are not far behind with 33 and 30 points, respectively.
