The Bulldogs will try to climb back to the top of the ECAC standings when they travel to Clarkson and St. Lawrence for conference matchups this weekend. Although Yale was as high as first in the standings earlier this season, it has slipped to a tie for fifth with Harvard due to a mediocre 2–2 record in its last four conference games.
The Bulldogs (8–6–1, 5–3 ECAC) make the trip after a 1–1 showing last weekend that dropped them out of the national rankings for the first time since January of 2009. Despite the drop, forward Charles Brockett ’12 said the team is simply focused on playing its best hockey.
“Being ranked is always an accomplishment, but in reality it doesn’t mean a whole lot, especially at this point in the season,” Brockett said. “We have a long way to go, and we’re feeling confident in our game right now so we’re really not concentrating on the fact that we dropped out of the rankings.”
