Colgate 2023-24

Carter Gylander is in net for Colgate.
Chase Clark is in goal for Sacred Heart (SHU).
SHU women lost to LIU, 3-1, this afternoon.
Less than two minutes in, Colgate’s Tommy Bergsland scores.

Colgate 19, SHU 4, SOG after one.
Colgate 1, SHU 0, score after one.

Colgate obviously dominated the play in the first period, but only have a one-goal lead to show for it. Williamsville SHU goalie stood on his head a couple of times. We are also losing more face-offs than we are winning.

Halfway through, SHU playing much better this period. Twice, they had the puck in our crease and just couldn’t bang it home. Credit to Gylander.
SHU penalty at 10:35 of second. First penalty of game. Seconds later, Colgate’s Pierson Brandon scored a PPG.
And minutes later, SHU responds with a goal.
Colgate penalty. Killed.
Minutes later, Colgate’s Brett Chorske scored.

Colgate 34, SHU 15, SOG after two.
Colgate 3, SHU 1, score after two.

Granted SHU isn’t UConn, but we will see if Mike Harder’s team learned a lesson last Sunday.

Colgate penalty. Killed.
3:31 remaining… Colgate penalty. 3-1 the score.
SHU also pulled their goalie. Interesting.
18:11… SHU PPG. Now 3-2.

Colgate 44, Sacred Heart 27, final SOG.
Colgate 3, Sacred Heart 2, final score.

Lord knows that there have been games in the past that, on paper, we were ‘supposed to win’ and didn’t. So, tonight’s victory feels good for Mike Harder and the whole team. We didn’t let up in the third, so I won’t be whining about that tonight. And I continue to be a Brett Chorske fan.

The arena is really nice… and I would say that 3,000 fans were in there tonight (as it seats 3,600). Tons of students, nearly all in white.

And the pre-game reception, organized by Kate of ‘Gate Athletics fundraising and engagement, was excellent and well-attended. I had a great visit with Nick Anderson’s father. The whole Anderson family from Minnesota are committed Colgate hockey supporters. I know Mike Harder was making the rounds pre-game at the reception, too. All-in-all, a very enjoyable game. Hopefully tomorrow the feeling will be the same.

P.S. - Martire Family Arena. Martire is pronounced Mar-tear-ree, I believe.

Heartiest congratulations to Coach Harder and the team for his/their first win of what I hope will be a long and illustrious career. Well done and many more to come...
 
Colgate dominated the first period with shots 19-4, SHU's goalie kept them in the game, could of easily been 3-0 or worse. SHU played much better in second and third, nerve wracking when they made it 3-2 with about two mins left skating six on four. I had visions of last weekends meltdown against UConn but they held on. Gotta learn to close these games out.
 
Carter Gylander and Chase Clark are in the nets again tonight for Colgate and Sacred Heart Univ. (SHU), respectively.
Midway through the first, Colgate’s Pierson Brandon (from Bergsland and Raymond) scored to open things up.
SHU penalty. Killed (without one ‘Gate SOG).
Colgate penalty. Killed (with one SHU SOG).

SHU 11, Colgate 7, SOG after one.
Colgate 1, SHU 0, score after one.

Our defense needs to tighten up in this game. They got behind us once and picked our pockets a couple of times.

A minute and a half into the second, Sacred Heart’s number 12 (Lombardi) made a great individual effort to beat Carter. 1-1.

Great second effort by Colgate’s Ryan McGuire (from Raymond and Tamburro) makes it 2-1.

Colgate penalty. Killed.

Ross Mitton, who was leveled at center ice earlier in the period, just scored in a scrum in the SHU crease (from Sullivan and Chorske). Play under video review. Good goal.

Colgate 23, SHU 17, SOG after two.
Colgate 3, SHU 1, score after two.

Beautiful shot by Sebastian Tamburro (from Raymond) gives Colgate its fourth goal. Three Assists tonight for Ben Raymond!!!

Sacred Heart penalty. Killed.
Jake Schneider (from Glasman and Anderson) scored to make it 5-1. Anderson retrieved the puck (assumedly for Schneider).

Colgate penalty.
14 seconds left in ‘Gate penalty, Sacred Heart penalty.
Colgate penalty killed.
4 seconds left in SHU penalty, Colgate and SHU both get penalties assessed. Less than one minute to go in the game.
First SHU penalty killed.
But Bobby Metz scores (from McGuire and Bergsland) and puck is retrieved for him.

Colgate 44, SHU 23, SOG final.
Colgate 6, SHU 1, score final.

Big win and great sweep for Colgate down here.

After a relatively even first period, ‘Gate totally dominated the last two frames. A very comprehensive victory.

Kudos to Sacred Heart on the arena; it is a spectacular building. Will definitely be going back to check out some of their league games.
 
It is such an interesting game.
Last night, Sacred Heart got better as the game went on. Tonight, it was Colgate’s turn. 23 SOG total in the first two periods. 21 in the third period.
Ben Raymond had a great game, but so did several Colgate players, including some of the younger ones.
I can be critical of our non-conference scheduling, but, with the circumstances this year, it turned out that a sweep of Sacred Heart is just what the doctor ordered for team-building.
2-1-1 with a new coach is not a bad way to start our season. Bring on UMass Lowell. he he he
P.S. - I ventured up to Storrs, Conn., this afternoon to see BC women edge UConn by one goal. As nice as that new arena is, I like Sacred Heart’s better… just seems cleaner, brighter and more open.
 
Nice win, boys finally closed one out in third. Freshmen looking very good, starting to think one of the best classes in quite awhile, maybe ten years back to the Spinks, Borokowski etc . PWR #10 , sweep on the road always special !
 
Fun to watch this team! Happy for them and the coaching staff on a great road weekend. As always, thanks to IOWA for his “at the rink” stats and comments. Looking forward to Lowell next weekend. Go ‘gate!
 
Lowell was off this weekend and split with Alaska Anchorage on the road last weekend. I’ll be happy with a split at Lowell.
 
My (VERY) bad. Thanks Iowa.
Even at home I’ll still be happy with a split.
But I’ll be even happier with a sweep!
 
Arnaud Vachon scored the game winner for Augustana's first win ever yesterday ! They beat Bowling Green.
 
Greencoat...you ok ? Maybe you're waiting for them to lose before you post ? All kidding aside, hope your doing ok !

Shabby, let me defend my friend the Coat... he's a passionate fan who wants the best for our teams, just calls 'em how he sees 'em! Bet he's happy with both our early hockey success & the football team posting a couple of W's. Meanwhile, missed you last w/e... coming down for either of the UML games? I'll be around...
 
Gate83, you still lurking around lol ? Good to hear from you also, don't be a stranger ! Maybe the Coat is celebrating our Browns win still ?
 
I'm here boys and girls and thanks for the inquiry...actually, pretty pleased with the boys so far...thought the UConn games were OK with both teams (frankly) a little sloppy, but understandable since neither team had an exhibition test beforehand...overall team speed looks pretty good and, not surprisingly, our "D" is picking up some of the scoring slack...goals-by-committee may be the answer this year and perhaps Harder is giving our defensemen a little more leeway in joining a rush...I am noticing improvement this year in a number of last season's freshmen and sophomores...still think 5th or 6th place for this team is probable, but not a bad showing...BTW 2024 recruits look pretty decent (hope we can keep all of them)...
