I am also happy to see Green Coat back posting on here. Like Shabby, I was getting concerned.
This morning, a friend in the Twin Cities texted me that the son of a friend of his has committed to Colgate for 2024. The young man's name is Tommy Cronin and he is now playing for the Waterloo (Iowa) Black Hawks of the United States Hockey League (USHL), which is the American junior league that Mike Harder recently said was where Colgate was going to be looking more for future recruits. Tommy Cronin is from Edina, Minn., where Colorado College transfer Brett Chorske grew up. Other current 'Gate Minnesotans... Owen Neuharth, Savage; Jake Schneider, Plymouth; Tommy Bergsland, Wayzata; and Nick Anderson, Independence.
Lastly, for my college hockey friends who also enjoy short-track auto racing, the Waterloo Black Hawks is the team on which former NASCAR stock car driver Michael Annett played. I knew Michael and his late father Harrold (TMC Transportation) from my days as executive director of the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum in Knoxville, Iowa. And the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame just happens to be mentioned in this College Hockey News article posted yesterday about the University of Michigan's Noah West, whose father Jeff raced at the Oswego (N.Y.) Speedway... Great New Responsibility : College Hockey News

Matt Crasa 4, Colgate 2, final score.
Now that was very impressive.
Two of his goals seemed to flutter in past Carter with not much room to spare. I would like to see all four again in replay.
Colgate won the first period, but it turns out tonight was a three-period game.
Having said that, as a fan, I am having 'fun.'
Mike Harder keeps talking about wanting his players to have 'fun.'
He wants his defensemen to have 'fun' by being aggressive up ice.
I am liking this new era of a more free-wheeling game.
Yeah, we're going to lose some games by playing it. But I sense that it is going to be 'fun' (unless it gets out of control by heading south).
I also like Mike Harder's open-n-fun style.
In the pre-game 'Chalk Talk,' he said that we weren't going to see much of Alex DiPaolo nor Ross Mitton tonight... and we didn't.
Well, except in the concourse and suite areas, as we did with Barb, Pierre, Charlie, Jake's father, Patty, Zach and the Pep Band.
And was Don Vaughan in attendance? I didn't see him, but heard he was.
Finally, besides Matt's four-goal performance, it was another interesting night.
'Kneeing' penalties are thankfully rare in our sport.
But I think UMass Lowell had one two-minute one tonight and Colgate had another five-minute one this evening. WTH?!

the kneeing on UML was goalie interference not letting him get back to the crease, dirty play IMO, but like shabby I watched replay, hit was definitely a penalty but not 5 min

Well, not a horrible weekend, but not a very good one either. Since we currently have no forward momentum as a team, having next weekend as an ‘off weekend’ can’t hurt. In fact, our tired and battered bones could use a rest. Good to see “Red” and Barb out and about tonight. And Pierre. ‘Night.

UMass-Lowell was overall the better team this weekend. Congrats to them. Enjoyed meeting some of the UML parents and fans.They had a good-sized and active / loud turnout.
Colgate letting up two power play goals each night was a significant factor in our losses, particularly on Friday with two late in the game during the 5-minute penalty. We gotta stay out of the box!
Was great to see the support of the Pep Band on Friday night, but it seemed like they didn't get to play much. Whoever runs to music during breaks in the action didn't give the Band enough opportunities.
So this coming weekend we have no home hockey games (men or women) for Family Weekend. Hopefully in future years families can get to see one or both of our ice hockey teams in action.

Very poor planning !
Well, not a horrible weekend, but not a very good one either.
Would argue it was horrible, Iowa. Penalties didn’t help. Takacs played well enough but made a costly, rookie mistake. Feels like another rebuilding/underdog year for this title team, which is fine. Our OOC schedule year in and year out rarely impresses me, and the past 2 weeks - at home - were nothing more than missed opportunities. It’s no wonder we can’t land NoDak or other powerhouses on our schedule with results like these. UML finished 18-15 last year; UConn a respectable 20-12, but was swept already this season by Holy Cross. If this is our best, we won’t finish .500. That said, I am thrilled for the Harder era and cannot wait to see who he lands as recruits. I see the dynamics changing more quickly for this program and not waiting another 30+ years for a 3rd title.

Teacher Bill, I won't argue with you as I fully realize that everyone is different (which is a good thingee), but for me, 'horrible' is...
going to an NCAA Regional game in Allentown, Penna., and losing 11-1 to Michigan, or
losing 6-1 at RIT, losing 6-0 at Miami (Ohio), losing 5-0 to Quinnipiac at home, losing 6-1 at Harvard, losing 6-0 to Quinnipiac at Nassau Coliseum, losing 6-0 at Union, and losing 4-0 at Union in the first round of the ECAC Tournament... ALL in ONE season.
Having said that, I do agree with you on our yearly non-conference schedule and, overall, our disappointing play in them in recent times. While going to Niagara and losing 3-2 and 3-2 wasn't 'horrible' last year, it wasn't very good either.
P.S. - I went to all those games mentioned and sat there in my Colgate hat and jersey, with pom-poms by my side. he he he

I completely agree about the Pep Band and the in-house music! So great to hear the PB play the national anthem Friday night.
I have every confidence in Mike, Anthony, Zac and Liam going forward. They’ll figure it out. Certainly injuries hurt us this weekend - especially Sat night with Gylander and Chorske joining Mitton and DiPalo from Friday night. Go ‘gate!! Always great to see IOWA at the games.

It is early in the season and conference games haven’t started yet within ECAC Hockey, but Colgate at 2-3-1 is ranked 31st of 64 NCAA Division One Men’s Ice Hockey teams in the latest PairWise Rankings (PWR). This coming weekend is an ‘off’ one for Colgate hockey, so what are people on here going to watch?
I am going to head to Minnesota -Duluth at Cornell on Friday and Saturday nights. PWR #1 Colgate women’s ice hockey is headed to RPI on Friday and Union on Saturday. I believe Pierre McGuire told me that he is headed to the Harvard at Dartmouth men’s game on Friday night.

Cornell took care of business this weekend. Pretty impressive.
Ya they dominated Duluth. I would put Cornell above qpac at this point. Cornell looks really good.
