The men’s hockey team is coming off two of the most successful seasons in program history, as it claimed the league championship in 2007-08 and an NCAA tournament berth in both years.

This season, the Tigers hope to contend for the ECAC Hockey championship again and play deep into March for a third consecutive year. That journey begins in earnest this weekend at Baker Rink when the regular season begins.

Princeton hosted a scrimmage against Morrisville State and an exhibition against Windsor last weekend but will officially begin its season this week against two ECAC rivals: The Tigers host Brown on Friday afternoon and Yale on Saturday night. Each game will be the first of the season for each opponent. Both contests are officially non-conference games, and neither will count in the ECAC league standings.
