Thanks, Wicked! Right back at you!

appear to be good "hires" by Harder - smart, accomplished and YOUNG...let the recruiting begin Gate...

And...he coached the NTDP U 17 team, and last year the U 18 team. This could be a game changer for recruiting, hoping he was popular with the players !

All the members of that team are already committed. Then again, with the current propensity for transfers Colgate might pick one up on the rebound. Given the significant percentage headed to BC, perhaps in a few years they can get delayed compensation for Benson.

Love that we're getting closer to hockey time ! Minor trivia note for Gate fans: Ryan Sullivan's brother Nathan will suit up for RPI this fall. Bring on the brotherhood rivalry !!

Wicked, I totally agree with you. Fall and college hockey season can’t come soon enough for me… and fellow Colgate season ticket-holder Zach Lamont. I am pleased to learn that you are an RPI fan. I don’t know why I previously thought that you were a Big Red fanatic. My fave four ECAC teams, in order, are Colgate, Clarkson, RPI and Dartmouth.

I wonder if Chorske is related to former NHLer Tom Chorske?

[Magoo]

Under his bio his father is Tom Chorske. I guess there could be more than one Tom Chorske.

[CU13]

Magoz - I did a little digging - Tom Chorske is from/lives in Edina, MN and has a son. Could very well be his Dad.

[sshablak]

His dad is the NHL'er. He's six feet six inches tall.

RPI hired BU associate A.D. Katie Bowers as their new A.D.....in case any of you had her on your interview list... ha ha

Dear Alumni, Families, and Friends of Colgate Men’s Hockey, I just returned from a fantastic road trip and wanted to fill you in. From Victoria, British Columbia to Duxbury, Massachusetts, I spent the summer visiting every one of our returning student-athletes, our future committed players, and alumni from four different decades along the way. Thirty-three families welcomed me into their homes and shared delicious home-cooked meals (including some pierogies I’m still thinking about). The goal of the trip was to get to know our talented young men in a way that only the recruiting process can provide. What happened along the way was a deeper understanding of who we all are and the common goals of our program. This team is stacked with motivated, hardworking players who have a thirst to win. They got a taste of it last season, they want more, and they know the path to success relies on development. This would not have been possible without the support of our generous alumni network. We are continuing to build the great tradition of Colgate hockey and develop young men that make all of us proud. We hope to see you and reconnect at our alumni weekend and golf outing Sept. 29–30 on campus. Warning — we have a lot of great golfers on this team, so bring your A-game, and let’s have some fun. Go, ’gate! Sincerely, Mike Harder ’97 Donald F. Vaughan Head Men’s Hockey Coach Colgate Men's Hockey | 13 Oak Drive, Hamilton, NY 13346 | colgatehockey@colgate.edu Update your email preferences or review our privacy policy.

I hope many of you received this communication from Coach Harder recently. I feel the enthusiasm and am excited for the season!

IOWA - miss reading your posts! I hope all is well. Go 'gate!!

Barb, thanks! Yes, all is well here. Have bought my season ticket and parking pass and am ready for this year’s adventure. I received that email and can’t help but get excited, too. The older I get, the less I like change. But I also know that it is good (and natural). Fresh eyes, new blood, all that. Maine just announced that individual tickets are now on sale, so early next week I will purchase mine. That is the one road trip this season to which I am most looking forward (not unlike Northern Michigan in early ‘22). Some home hockey weekend this season, let’s meet for dinner or coffee before a game in Hamilton. My treat. Take care and Go ‘Gate!
