...learned from a 2-0-0 record than from an 0-2-0 mark—not when hockey seasons stretch more than 30 games. But for now, at least for a week, the Quinnipiac men’s program is a perfect 2-0-0 in ECAC play. And it certainly means something to the Bobcats. Quinnipiac has had a hockey team since 1975—nearly 80 years fewer than Harvard—and the Bobcats have only been Division I since the 1998-1999 season. This year, the reigning Atlantic Hockey champions shifted into the ECAC, filling...
After going winless and finishing in last place in the four-team College Hockey Association last season, the Bobcats join the ECAC with low expectations and the chance to play spoiler. Quinnipiac has already logged some surprising results in this young season, knocking off Connecticut and Northeastern and tying Yale in its conference opener. Coach Michael Barrett brought in a strong recruiting class of young Canadians that should help the Bobcats improve its power play, worst in the nation last year...
...that sink in: zero wins and 20 losses in the ECAC last year. The Dutchwomen should again struggle to find conference wins, especially if a pair of 8-0 routs at the hands of middling Clarkson in the opening weekend are any indication.

Against Clarkson, the Dutchwomen tried out three different netminders and all struggled, so look for the goalie-by-committee policy to continue in the early going...

Gone are the squad’s top two defenders: Erin Duggan graduated and super freshman Helen Resor was added to the U.S. national team. Fortunately, the conference’s top goalie remains in senior Sarah Love. That being said, Yale, with juniors Jenna Spring and Kristin Savard leading the rush, should struggle to put points on the board...
...Corriero ’05 would have graduated, and Julie Chu, now a senior, would probably be taking the year off for her second Olympics with the U.S. National Team. Now that time has come, and another big gun, sophomore Sarah Vaillancourt—last year’s ECAC Rookie of the Year—has also been named to the current Canadian National Team. On the defensive side of the ice, junior Caitlin Cahow impressed so much with her effort last year that she earned an invitation to the U.S. National Team as well. At the time, when...
