HANOVER, N.H. -- The Dartmouth women's hockey team will kick off its 32nd varsity season this weekend as the Big Green hit the road for two ECAC Hockey games at Princeton and Quinnipiac.

Dartmouth travels to face the Tigers on Friday night to open the season at 7 p.m. at Hobey Baker Rink, followed by a matchup with the Bobcats on Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m. from the TD Banknorth Sports Center.

Dartmouth returns 17 letterwinners from a year ago after losing just three to graduation. The Big Green has also added seven newcomers to the mix and Dartmouth will have its largest squad in quite some time as the team will feature 24 skaters. Head coach Mark Hudak returns to the bench for his sixth season, while seniors Shannon Bowman and Sarah Newnam, last year's assistant captains, will wear the C for the Big Green in 2008-09.
