NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Yale will find out very quickly where it
stands in relation to the top of ECAC Hockey this weekend. The
Bulldogs' first two conference games are against the two teams
ranked highest in the national poll, No. 6 St. Lawrence (Friday, 4
p.m.) and No. 3 Clarkson (Saturday, 2 p.m.).
The Bulldogs opened the regular season last Friday 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 has five goals in slightly more than 10 periods of hockey
over the past two weekends. Sophomore forward Aleca Hughes
(Westwood, Mass.) has three goals in that span.
Junior goaltender Jackee Snikeris (Downingtown, Pa.) made 35 saves
in the tie at Providence. Sophomore Genny Ladiges (Almonte, Ont.)
followed that up with 31 saves against McGill, reinforcing the
confidence the Bulldogs have in their goaltending depth.
