The following article appeared November 5 on the Yale Web site.

 

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The newly renovated Ingalls Rink re-opens Friday night with Yale hosting longtime rival Princeton (7 p.m.). The Bulldogs also host Quinnipiac Saturday (4 p.m.). Live stats and live video from both games will be available on yalebulldogs.com.

Yale (0-2-1, 0-2-0 ECAC Hockey) is seeking its first conference wins of the season after dropping a pair to No. 7 St. Lawrence and No. 2 Clarkson on the road last weekend. Junior goaltender Jackee Snikeris (Downingtown, Pa.) made 59 saves and allowed only one goal at even strength all weekend. Snikeris' .931 save percentage places her eighth in the country.

The Bulldogs opened the regular season two weeks ago with a 2-2 non-league tie at Providence, then beat McGill 4-2 in an exhibition game. Junior forward Bray Ketchum (Greenwich, Conn.) has been providing the bulk of the offense in the early going. Including the exhibition and the preseason scrimmages vs. Brown and Princeton, Ketchum had five goals in slightly more than 10 periods of hockey over the first two weekends. Sophomore forward Aleca Hughes (Westwood, Mass.) had three goals in that span.
