TROY, NY – Riding the wave of an eight-game unbeaten streak, the 20th-ranked Union College men’s ice hockey team concludes the portion of its 2009 ECAC Hockey slate with a 7 p.m. contest at cross-town foe Rensselaer on Wednesday, Dec. 9. The game is the third of four against the two clubs and Union’s last trip to Houston Field House resulted in a 5-4 win, giving it the RPI Holiday Tournament title.

Fans can listen to the action on WRUC 89.7 FM or on Teamline.cc with Matt Dubrey and Brian Unger ’93 providing the action. Live stats can be followed at sidearmstats.com/rpi/mhockey and live video can be seen at B2tv.com (search RPI).

Union, which beat RPI, 5-4, in overtime on Nov. 28 to claim the RPI Holiday Tournament title, is unbeaten in eight-straight games with a 4-0-4 record and remains the only team in ECAC Hockey without a loss. The Dutchmen’s 1-0-1 record last weekend made their streak the second longest all-time in the team’s Division I history. Only the 1993-94 team had a long span when they went on a ten-game ride, going 8-0-2. The six-game ECAC Hockey streak ranks third all-time just behind the team’s seven-straight wins during the 2007-08 season and its 7-0-2 run in 1993-94.
