Men's Hockey Continues to Climb
February 18, 2008 | Men's Ice Hockey
With its Ivy League-clinching win on Saturday at Dartmouth, the Princeton men's hockey team evened its win total of a season ago at 15. For Princeton, it has been a steady rise over the past few seasons, building upon its win total season after season and now taking its place among the top teams in the league.
Princeton won its first outright Ivy League title with its 5-2 win on Saturday at Dartmouth. The win made Princeton 8-1 in Ivy League games with one left on the schedule this coming weekend against Cornell. Princeton is also close to the top in the ECAC Hockey standings, sitting just two points behind first-place Clarkson as each team has four games left before the playoffs begin. Princeton has already clinched a home-ice playoff series, whether it's a first-round or quarterfinal series is still to be determined, but the Tigers have clinched a home ice series for the second straight season and just the third time ever.
Not bad results for a team that won just three games in the 2002-03 season and five one-year later. Princeton won a total of eight games in the 2004-05 season, the first year under the reins of Head Coach Guy Gadowsky. That was also the first year that the five members of Princeton's senior class donned the Orange and Black.
In the four seasons since, Gadowsky and those seniors?Kyle Hagel, Mike Moore, Erik Pridham, Keith Shattenkirk and Landis Stankievech?have helped take the team from one that won just eight times in the two seasons prior to their arrival, to a team that is in contention to win Princeton's first ECAC regular season title and currently finds itself nationally ranked.
In their first season together, the current Princeton seniors won eight games in a season that was highlighted by season sweeps of Dartmouth and Rensselaer. The following year the team once again added to its win total, winning 10 times, including Princeton's first shutout of Cornell in more than 40 years, a win over two-time defending National Champion Denver, and a home-ice sweep of Clarkson and St. Lawrence.
Last season, Princeton raised its win total to 15 games and finishing sixth in the ECAC Hockey standings. Princeton hosted a playoff series for the first time since 1999, and won it in three games to advance to the quarterfinals. Princeton again swept Clarkson and St. Lawrence in a home weekend and had big wins at Harvard and Clarkson.
This season, Princeton has equaled last season's 15 games, but has done it in six fewer games. The Tigers are five games over .500 and sit in second place in the ECAC standings and have already wrapped up the Ivy League title. Princeton has a 10-4 record away from home and will look to raise its win total to 16 when Colgate and Cornell visit Hobey Baker Rink this weekend.
