Men's Ice Hockey

The Class of 2011 won more games than any other in the history of the men’s hockey program, but the season ended on a sour note for the most tenured Tigers. Princeton’s season came to a surprising end in the first round of the ECAC Hockey tournament, as St. Lawrence won the final two games of the best-of-three series to upset Princeton at Baker Rink.

Bob Prier will be the next head coach of the men’s hockey team, the athletics department announced in a release on Monday afternoon.

The first three meetings between the men’s hockey team and St. Lawrence this season were not close. In scoreline after scoreline, the Tigers asserted their offensive dominance over the Saints with scores of 5-1, 5-3 and 4-1.

Another weekend brings another split for the Princeton men’s hockey team (16-11-2 overall, 11-9-2 ECAC Hockey). A strong 4-3 win against No. 14 Rensselaer (19-10-5, 11-9-2) on Friday night was followed by a 5-0 loss to No. 5 Union (25-7-4, 17-3-2) on Saturday. But don’t expect any glum faces in the Tigers’ locker room.

Halfway through the weekend's games and both the men's and women's hockey teams have been involved in tightly-fought one goal games. Here's a weekend update for all you hockey enthusiasts.
