BACK TO BAKER RINK
Since the last time the Tigers skated in a game on Hobey Baker Rink, Princeton has accumulated almost 7,000 miles of travel between visits to Upstate New York and Belfast. The unofficial mileage on Princeton's road trips to Colgate, Cornell and the Friendship Four is 6,969 miles via bus and plane. Now. Princeton begins a four-game homestand with a pair of games against Colorado College.

IT'S BEEN A WHILE...
Princeton and Colorado College have not played since 1990, when CC swept a series in Colorado Springs. Overall, Colorado College has won 8 of the 9 meetings between the teams -- Princeton's lone win a 3-2 victory at Baker Rink in 1989.

CRESS-MAN
Senior Jackson Cressey leads Princeton with 8 points in 10 games. He is tied for the team lead with 5 assists, and is the only Tiger to have scored on both the power play and penalty kill this season. He has gone without a point in each of his last three games. With 102 career points, senior Jackson Cressey is 16th on the Tigers' all-time list and has five players within five points ahead of him on that list.
