Hockey to drop puck in ECAC
The Dartmouth men's hockey team heads into this weekend's ECAC contents with RPI and Union coming off an impressive 7-1 win over Army last weekend, but the squad knows it has its work cut out for it if it is to improve from the dismal 1996-97 season -- in which the Big Green won just three games in January and February. But this year expectations are high, and with new Head Coach Bob Gaudet behind the bench, ECAC watchers are picking the Big Green to make the playoffs for just the third time since 1980. Eric Almon '00 comes off a solid game between the pipes against Army, as he stopped 35 of the 36 shots he faced.
