Coming off two dominating victories over University of Massachusetts Lowell last weekend, the men’s hockey team will travel to the University of Connecticut to finish the 2010 portion of its season at the annual Toyota UConn Classic. The Tigers (8-5 overall, 6-3 ECAC Hockey) will compete against three non-conference opponents: Bowling Green (6-12-2), Connecticut (5-7-3) and Holy Cross (6-7-2). Princeton will face Bowling Green on Dec. 29 and either Connecticut or Holy Cross on Dec. 30.
“These non-conference games are a good chance for us to show the strength of our league against other leagues,” senior forward Sam Sabky said.
Princeton also made a strong impression on the UMass-Lowell River Hawks, beating them 5-2 and 7-2 on Friday and Saturday, respectively. Despite going down 1-0 in the first three minutes on Friday and trailing for most of the game, freshman forward Andrew Ammon scored his first career goal with just 6 minutes, 32 seconds left in the game to break a 2-2 tie. Ammon scored two more goals before the final buzzer to put the game away for the Tigers. As a result of this performance, he became the first Tiger so far this season to win the ECAC Hockey Rookie of the Week honors.
