NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- The Yale men’s hockey
team (20-9-3, 15-5-2 ECAC Hockey) got what it deserved after
winning the conference regular season championship and being ranked
among the nation’s top 10 for most of the year. The No. 9
ranked Bulldogs (20-9-3), despite falling short in the ECAC Hockey
Tournament, earned the opportunity to compete for a national
championship with an invitation to the NCAA Northeast Regional.
Yale, the No. 3 seed, will take on fourth-ranked North Dakota (No.
2 seed, 25-12-5) at 5 p.m. ET on Saturday at the DCU Center in
Worcester, Mass. The other game, at 1:30 on Saturday, pits Boston
College (No. 1, 25-10-3) against Alaska-Fairbanks (No. 4, 18-11-9).
The winners play Sunday at 5:30 p.m for a trip to Detroit’s
Ford Field and the 2010 Frozen Four.
