It has been 643 days since the men’s hockey team last lost a regular season game at Ingalls Rink.

The Bulldogs (1–0–1) will attempt to continue their recent dominance at home as they take to the ice this weekend against two ECAC foes, Cornell (0–1–0) on Friday and No. 18 Colgate (4–2–1) on Saturday.The Elis went undefeated in New Haven last season, skating to a 15–0–1 record at The Whale and distinguishing themselves as the only Division I team with a spotless record on its home ice.

Anticipation for the Elis’ home-opener is rampant. CBS Sports Network will broadcast Friday’s game live and only standing-room tickets were available at the Yale Bookstore as of Thursday afternoon. But fans are not the only ones who are excited. Forward Kenny Agostino ’14 said the team itself is also eagerly awaiting its first home contest.
