SCHENECTADY, NY -- The 16th-ranked Union College men’s ice hockey team opens the doors to Messa Rink for the final regular season home weekend when Princeton and Quinnipiac arrive on Friday, Feb. 19 and on Saturday, Feb. 20. Tickets for both contests, which begin at 7 p.m., can be purchased online at UnionAthleticsTickets.com or by calling the box office at 518-388-6020.

The Dutchmen (16-8-6) are closing in on a first round bye in the ECAC Hockey playoffs with a 10-4-4 record (24 pts.), which is good enough for third place. The Tigers (10-12-3) are ninth place with a 6-10-2 conference mark (14 pts.), while the Bobcats (15-13-2) are in the seventh spot with a 9-9-0 ECACH record (18 pts.).

Two events surround this weekend as Friday’s outing is “White Out Night” with the first 2,000 fans receiving a white Union College Hockey t-shirt sponsored by Legere Restorations (a company specializing in disaster restoration and construction). Saturday’s matchup is “Senior Night” and all eight Union seniors will be recognized at the conclusion of the contest.
