It’s crunch time.
The men’s hockey team closes its regular season at Ingalls Rink this weekend with two games that have three different kinds of championship implications. The Elis take on Colgate (7–23–2, 4–14–2 ECAC) Friday night and Cornell (13–11–3, 11–7–2) Saturday night.
Yale competes for four titles each year: the Ivy League, the ECAC regular season, the ECAC playoffs and the NCAA. It clinched the Ivy League title last weekend with its win over Princeton. This weekend’s games most directly affect Yale’s hunt to raise the Cleary Cup — the trophy awarded to the ECAC regular-season champion — for the third consecutive year.
