    Quinnipiac won't finish higher than last year in light of their graduations and the strength of incoming class. So, 6th at best.

    Colgate will easily compete in the top 4. Too much talent once they get settled in...
    They lost a few key players but have talent and size. I just think that Colgate will need a year before they are back in the top 4. I would not discount Harvard either. Great goaltending and a decent supporting cast.

      I think that Clarkson with their reload/returners 2019/2020 class will be strong as usual. Coach Doug seems to have Big Red back on track and moving in the right direction. Princeton is poised and ready to build on last years success. Looking closer, Colgate seems to be quietly building a very strong foundation of world class players. Beyond NZ and everyone's expert opinions. Which is interesting & geographically biased at best. This is evident as many incredible players and recruits coming out of non traditional hotbeds, Texas, California, Western Canada, including Alberta and British Columbia. The Eastern USA, Minnesota & Ontario are not the only locations that produce the best talent. They have proven players that have won and know how to win at the U-18 World championship level, US national level, National Canadian Championship, Team & Tournament level. Colgate seems to have some of the best Defencemen and Forwards from the US and Canada. Going to be great to watch this group and the competitive ECAC this year.

        2019-2020 scheduled released last week....looks to be a great challenge for a young talented team. I suspect the trip to play the Gophers will work out better for Coach Fargo than his first year coaching at Colgate! lol

        Season fast approaching...looking forward to hearing who will be brought in to be the new assistant coach?!

                With the season quickly approaching. Where will Colgate finish in the extremely competitive ECAC? Who are going to be their difference makers this year?

                  It's going to be a talented but very young team. 14 underclasswomen. It will probably take some time to get acclimated and they have two games against Minnesota the second week. That should be a good indication.

                    Counted four girls did not return,one left halfway through last year. That's a bit surprising.

                      2 transferred. 1 left for medical reasons.

                        The transfers were not significant contributors.

                          Colgate beats Holy Cross 4-1. Shots 44-10. Holy Cross not ready for prime time yet. Not a knock. Still a couple of recruiting classes away from being a legit d1 team. Have 1 line that can compete.

                            Yep, they still are developing. Colgate was dominate in the 2nd and 3rd.

                              Good first game for Colgate and its early efforts to try to find the right line combinations melding old and new. What was presented showed good balance on all lines with interesting combinations. None of the new women seemed uncomfortable with the pace of D1 hockey. Definitely in this first game, puck possession and a go after it mentality was apparent. Many chances to score were built on crashing the net and just missed so there should be no lack of offense this year. The one goal against came late and was on a minor defensive breakdown where Auby had no chance. Interesting to see Bailey Bennett, one of the women who transferred after last sseason, was introduced as a Holy Cross starter at the beginning of the game and played well for them (their official roster does not id her as a Colgate transfer which I think is interesting). Today against Kingston should be interesting too. Expect more mixing and matching before the trip out west next weekend. Last thought, I was impressed with Holy Cross and for a team that has only been in Hockey East for a year
                              they have made good progress. Good luck to them.

                                Just excited to see the puck drop for the first NCAA game of the year. Very solid first game for Colgate. The freshman class looks great. Very aggressive group with talent. Serdachny with a strong performance with a couple of snipes. Bard, O'Donahue, Smigliani & co all looked puck hungry ready to compete. Excited to see freshmen Defenders Simpson and McEcheran really look solid as well. The returners Schneider, Larose, Demers were dangerous at times. Will be interesting to see how this team competes against the established super powers this season. Starting with Minnesota next week? Any thoughts how that's going to go?
