Bulldogs Want Payback
Members of the men’s hockey team like to say that they’re taking this season one game at a time. But this weekend’s slate might make that more difficult than usual.
The Bulldogs (14–1, 8–0 ECAC) take on Brown (5–6–4, 3–4–1) twice this weekend, once in New Haven and once in Providence. The two teams have met once already this season, when Yale outgunned the Bears 7–4 in the season-opening, non-conference Ivy Shootout. But the schools’ more memorable recent contest was the quarterfinals of last season’s ECAC Tournament.
“It’s tough to beat a team in this league once, let alone beat them twice in a row, so that’s the big thing,” captain Jimmy Martin ’11 said, adding that back-to-back games against the same squad are uncommon in college hockey. “It’s a very difficult thing to do.”
