Quinnipiac joins the ECAC by replacing UVM (who is leaving for Hockey East), and with the Bobcats comes a change in travel partners. Dartmouth is now paired with arch-nemesis Harvard, while Brown is paired with Yale and Quinnipiac will travel with Princeton.
Schedule highlights:
Season opener @Harvard on October 29th
Boston U. comes to Hanover on December 10th
Battle for the Riverstone with UNH on January 14th in Manchester. (Note it is a Saturday rather than the midweek matchup of previous years).
Lowlights:
The home Harvard game is December 17th. With students on break, one of the most anticipated matchups of the year will go unseen by most.
Sacred Heart and Holy Cross on January 20/21. Blame these games on Harvard’s idiotic academic schedule. While 90% of the country is playing conference games, Dartmouth is forced to schedule whoever they can find to fill the dates because Harvard cannot play during exams, which take place roughly six weeks after the semester ends.
