The following article appeared January 20 on the Yale Web site.
The Yale men's hockey team took a break from normal practice
today and ventured outside to skate on the pond next to the
clubhouse on the Course at Yale. It was likely the first time a
Bulldog varsity team had done anything official on natural outdoor
ice since the 1920s.
"It was great for the guys to get out there and play outside,"
said Yale Associate Head Coach C.J. Marottolo. "It brings you back
to the days of playing all day on the pond. It also makes you
realize why you love the game and how you fell in love with the
game."

The Bulldogs skated on the pond between holes No. 3 and 4 from 4
to 5:20 p.m. Two areas were cleared of nearly a foot of snow. One
section, where the Elis rotated players for 3-on-3 games, had a
pair of nets brought over from Ingalls Rink. The image was classic
hockey, a fully-geared college team with goalies on a pond
surrounded by snow and wilderness.
