The ECAC regular season champion will be crowned this weekend. And the men’s hockey team sits in the driver’s seat.

The No. 11 Bulldogs (19-6-2, 14-4-2 ECAC) control their own destiny atop the conference standings, leading second-place Princeton by two points. Racking up three points in games against No. 10 Cornell and Colgate this weekend would clinch Yale’s first Cleary Cup since the 1997-’98 season.

Yale welcomes the Big Red (17-6-4, 12-5-3) to Ingalls Rink tonight for a 7 p.m. contest and then confronts the Red Raiders (10-16-6, 5-11-4) on Sunday for a 4 p.m. face-off.
