STORRS, CT -- The last time the 18th-ranked Union College men's ice hockey team laced up the skates was on Dec. 11 and a 4-1 win against the United States U-18 team. That game didn't count towards the standings, but the nine previous games did and all nine resulted in a Union win or tie. The Dutchmen put the second longest unbeaten streak in the nation and in program history on the line when they go to the Toyota UConn Classic on Tuesday, Dec. 29 and Wednesday, Dec. 30.

The Dutchmen (8-3-5) will face its first ranked opponent since entering the top 20 on Dec. 7 when they square-off with 15th-ranked UMass (10-5-0) on Tuesday at 4:05 p.m.. Depending on the outcome, Union will either face UConn (2-12-2) or Bentley (6-7-3) on Wednesday at 4:05 p.m. r 7:05 p.m.

Fans can follow the action online at Teamline.cc or on the radio at WRUC 89.7 FM. As usual Matt Dubrey and Brian Unger '93 will provide the action. Live stats for all four games of the tournament can be seen at UConnHuskies.com.
