not too much before the Yale hockey program is ready to reflect

Bulldogs in 2009-10 and beyond.
This first-ever Yale ECAC tournament championship team will
largely be in tact next year, so the cast that turned the corner in
three years under Allain from mediocre to decent to nationally
recognized, will have an opportunity to build on its first NCAA
exposure in 11 years.
