Any discussion of this year’s men’s hockey season has to begin by recognizing what an extraordinary team this group of guys proved to be. They are, with the possible exception of the 1952 team, the best team in the history of Yale hockey.
This group of seniors is one of the most successful classes in Yale’s history and saw the team go from eighth place as freshmen to back-to-back ECAC champions in just four years. Everyone who stepped on the ice for Yale this year should be proud of a season that firmly entrenched Yale as a player on the national hockey stage, and this year’s seniors should recognize what their sacrifice and hard work has done for Yale hockey.
Looking specifically at this past weekend, not one player should hang his head. Against North Dakota, the entire roster played with speed and put together one of the most complete games Yale hockey has played in recent years. In the Boston College game, there was no quit in the Bulldogs. Captain and defenseman Ryan Donald ’10 and the rest of the troops showed what it meant to “never say die,” coming back from a 9–4 deficit to make top-seeded BC sweat during the last couple minutes.
