NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- The 10-game unbeaten streak and the
eight-game win streak ended last weekend, but the 2008-09 Yale
men's hockey team (19-6-2, 14-4-2 ECAC Hockey) has an opportunity
to do something this weekend that no Bulldog squad has done in 10
years. The Elis host No. 10 Cornell (17-6-4, 12-5-3) on Friday
before Colgate (10-16-6, 5-11-4) comes to town for the regular
season finale on Sunday at 4 p.m. Yale has a chance to claim the
conference regular season championship for the first time since
1997-98. Both games can be seen live for free on Yale All Access by

on ESPNU (DirecTV 614).
TICKETS
Friday's game is completely sold out for non-student
tickets. If anything becomes available, it will be sold at the door
on Friday starting at 5:30 pm. Yale students can pick up tickets at
the Yale Bookstore on a first-come, first-serve basis. A limited
number of tickets are available for Sunday's game against Colgate,
which is also Youth Day and Yale Employee Day.
CONFERENCE SCENARIO
Yale controls its own destiny for the No. 1 seed and the Cleary
Cup, while the top three (Yale, Princeton, Cornell) have been
established with an order still to be determined. Dartmouth
controls its own destiny for the final bye. St. Lawrence, Harvard,
and Quinnipiac are the other teams still alive for the bye.
Dartmouth and St. Lawrence have clinched at least first-round home
ice. Harvard, Quinnipiac, Clarkson, and Union all control their own
destinies for one of the final three home ice slots, while Colgate,
Rensselaer and Brown will travel in the first round.
