Union junior forward Jeff Christiansen learned a valuable lesson last season: If you don’t work hard in practice and on your off-ice conditioning, you won’t play.

Christiansen is hoping that he gets another opportunity this weekend, when the Dutchmen host ECAC Hockey rivals Quin­nipiac at 7 tonight and Princeton at 4 p.m. Saturday at Messa Rink.
