Colgate 2021-22

You know, I was thinking about the conversation of a few days ago about great games at Starr, and maybe that skews my viewpoint on what I expect. The worst season the team had when I was there was 16-12-4. The team was routinely cranking out seasons 10 games over .500. Starr was a noisy, loud, full old barn. I miss that.
And so funny that many of us have such strong memories of that Harvard game in ‘89, even more indelible images than some of the best games of the magical ‘89-‘90 season (with exceptions as previously noted like the ECACs at Boston Garden or Lake State at home in the NCAAs). As I recall (and my memory may be cloudy after all these years), we were up big and CJ Young brought them back with a natural hat trick. When Woodcroft scored with less than ten seconds left in overtime, I thought the roof might actually blow off. Still one of the absolute best sporting events I’ve seen in my life.

I've seen mention of Benson being in the transfer portal. If true (and I have no inside intel), I wonder if he will reconsider.

He's a senior this year. The only reason why he would "transfer" is if he's on track to earn his bachelor's degree from Colgate in May but still has a year of NCAA eligibility.
I took in the Colgate-Brown game in Providence yesterday. Colgate definitely looked like a team that was playing its 3rd game in 4 days. But they never quit, especially after a generous puck bounce in the 1st period gave Brown an open-net goal to take a 1-0 lead.
It was also my first time experiencing 3-on-3 overtime and a shootout. I will say, I didn't like having the Zamboni's come out between the overtime and the shootout. It made the game feel more anti-climactic. But the shootout itself was fun to watch, even though I'm not a fan of it.

The data I've seen seems to suggest Benson has 2 years of eligibility remaining, likely due to the COVID year, but again, I could be misinformed.

Carter Gylander led Colgate onto the ice for tonight’s pre-game warm-up.
But, Mitch Benson took the position at the start of the game, with Andrew Farrier backing him up (and Carter Gylander).

I second the motion Marmot. Starr used to be a rockin' place back in the day. I remember (somewhat) a big game when Clarkson came to town and was heavily favored with players who were much more experienced, and a favorite to go to the NCAAs. I think it was in 1962 or 1963. I believe Bobby Meehan had a hat trick to bring us a W in that game,. The bleachers were packed with students and they went wild. It seemed Starr was really good at keeping the decibels high and for more of the games - even those where we lost. Of course '65 has not had huge student representation yet, so we shiouldn't judge. But Starr had that old barn atmosphere, that, in my opinion helped intimidate the opponent.
Nice win over Bruno, even if playing on fumes.

A high ankle sprain is when you tear or damage the high ankle ligaments that connect the tibia to the fibula. These ligaments are known as syndesmosis, even though that word refers to the joint itself. You might hear your high ankle sprain called a syndesmotic injury. Our ankles connect the leg bones to the foot bones.
