2012-13 D1 Scores and Results
My brother played at SLU and we have gone summers to the St Lawrence River for many years- try, since 1926? Too, I'm not sure how understanding some of you Bostonaise / NY City area fans are as to what the real north country brings winterwise...actually believe you are mostly in the dark as to this. So, maybe, it was with more pleasure, therefore, that I watched the Larries...make some new believers last season. Especially in Ithaca, say. Whoop!
I Hope they can get it going this season as well. Ranked initially at seven (nationally). And they have commenced play with challenges- two w. Knights, two w. Minnesota and then the Big Red. Yes, have yet to shine.
Dartmouth impressed some in their exh. against McGill (5-0); caused them to get a nod on the College Hockey O.L. poll, I think. We see how it goes at Princeton and in Connecticut at Quinnipiac this week.
Sasha Nanji is back at defense; aggressive and all over the ice. G e t s it done! Got four points versus McGill. Have new freshman, Stacey- two goals and (fairly) highly rated (Team Canada under 22, I am remembering correctly I hope) plus Camille Dumais back (two goals)- last season' s leading scorer. Too, Reagan Fischer, third leading scorer in 2011/12 w. Nanji just behind her for posting assists-goals last year. Lyndsay Holdcroft third season in net as well as two, maybe, backups- including freshman, Katie Milligan, from Kingston and Ottawa Lady Senators.
Ten (10!) seniors including the, in my mind, if I may, incomparable Jenna Hobeika, (Co) Captain who...makes you wonder, take notice (I think) as this player persists, hangs on, advances her piece-the team's piece, to the last whistle. Does all of those for me and whoever will go watch Green with me (few).
Coach Hudak is (greatly...) well liked in Hanover and here in Norwalk.
I played lacrosse at Dartmouth with some respectability. Eddie Jeremiah, though- somewhat legendary men's ice hockey coach, cut me on the first freshman (tryout) cut list. Yes, new Tack's. But that really wasn't why. This team eventually won the Ivy League. That wasn't it either.
