Great hockey in Pine Valley Friday and Saturday! I would like to thank 5 4 and 2 for and the Elmira Booster Club for their hospitality.
I had not yet seen Manhattanville and am looking forward to their matchup with Trinity in Stamford on 11/23. I am sure the Valiants will chew their way through the ECAC-East and give Norwich a tussle for the conference autobid. Cote looked sharp in net on Saturday and they made the most of a couple of chances when the Soaring Eagles were sloppy with the puck to earn the victory.
I had seen Elmira up in Northfield a couple of weeks back and they look to be a dangerous young team. The ECAC-West is loaded with top teams, but I would not want to be in the bracket with the Soaring Eagles come playoff time. Charron is emerging as a real deal sniper (although she needs to stay out of the penalty box), and the Metcalf, Mitchell, Charron line has been able to carry the scoring load for the Soaring Eagles (17 out of 35 team points). I would love to get to Plattsburgh for the early season showdown 12/11!
