i'll admit our fanbase isn't really know of late but ask Princeton how we did yesterday. Pretty sure I saw a thousand tennis balls. Any other Big Green fans on this site other than me?

Re: Dartmouth College Hockey...is there anybody else out there?
Well ever since I was in high school (2005 onward) i've been going to dartmouth games and everytime we play Princeton and score tennis balls rain down on their goalie...i've been told it has to do with the tennis team rivalry with Princeton.

Back in the day, Princeton used to throw tennis balls onto the ice after scoring their first goal of the season. One year, that happened to be against Dartmouth. Dartmouth fans returned the favor later that season when they played at Thompson, and have been doing so ever since.Last edited by unofan; 02-13-2011, 04:05 PM.

To echo what others are saying, Dartmouth really does have a strong team. I would not be too happy if we ran into them come playoff time.LET'S GO UNION DA DA DADADA

Dartmouth fan chiming in. Hey jjchurchil. Are you a current student? I'm an alum, class of 2001. Glad to have you on this board. There are a few other Dartmouth folks on this board, but the great majority are inactive.
Tennis ball "tradition" is pretty new. They didn't throw them my freshman and sophomore year, though back in those days there weren't many students attending games... I'm heard the same explanation given by unofan. I don't think we have a tennis rivalry with Princeton.Dartmouth College: NCAAs 1948 1949 1960 1979 1980

Saturdays game was very important for our ECAC rankings and equally important for the pairwise rankings. If the season were to end today we
would make the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1980. I'm just glad the three tennis ball penalties didn't matter!
