NEW BLUE The class of 2015 includes four forwards, three defensemen and a goalie. Four of them suited up for both games in the Ivy Shootout and three were in the lineup last weekend. Here are some quick facts on each newcomer: D Bennett Carroccio was an EJHL All-Star for the Boston Jr. Bruins… F Anthony Day scored 30 goals St. Francis High School... D Tommy Fallen played on the U.S. Team that captured gold at the 2010 World Junior A Challenge... D Matt Killian notched 30 career goals at Delbarton School... F Trent Ruffolo scored 129 points over 89 games for the New Hampshire Jr. Monarchs… F Alex Ward was a three-sport star at Deerfi eld Academy… F Nicholas Weberg played high school hockey in Minnesota while skating for Team Norway U20s at the 2011 World Junior Championships… G Connor Wilson, a goalie for Chicago in the USHL, was a three-sport standout at the Berkshire School.

FIRSTS ON ROSTER For the fi rst time in the history of Yale hockey, an Eli roster includes a Floridian (F Trent Ruffolo), a North Carolinian (G Connor Wilson) and a skater from Norway (F Nicholas Weberg).

PERSPECTIVE ON LAST YEAR Yale’s 28 wins last year were a school record, four better than the 2008-09 Elis. Yale’s 17 ECAC wins equaled the record reached by the 1997-98 team with an identical 17-4-1 mark. Yale’s 35 ECAC points tie the school record established by the 1997-98 Bulldogs.

LITTLE JOINS SELECT TEAM Former Bulldog All-American Broc Little ’11 has been named to the 2011 U.S. Men’s National Select Team. Little, currently in his fi rst season with VIK Vast- eras of Hockey Allsvenskan in Sweden, posted 72 goals and 142 points for Yale through four seasons. The U.S. Men’s National Select Team will compete at the Deutschland Cup from Nov. 11-13, in Munich, Germany. Team USA opens play against Slovakia on Nov. 11 at 10:15 a.m. EST. LEAGUE WITHIN A CONFERENCE Six members of ECAC Hockey compete for the Ivy League’s Hobey Baker Trophy, which is all that is on the line in this race. Yale won its third straight (4th in 5 years) Ivy title by going 9-1 last winter and having 18 points. Dartmouth was sec- ond with 13 points. The Elis are 0-1 this season.

MILLER TIME A 2010-11 fi rst-team All-ECAC pick, junior F Andrew Miller (74 gp, 17-64-81) had another outstanding season last year. Miller, voted “best passer” by his teammates, had 12-33-45. He was No. 4 in the nation with .97 assists per game (tops in ECAC). More impressive is that 22 of his 33 assists were primary ones. His team-high 33 helpers (2nd best at Yale and fi ve behind Mark Kaufmann ’93) were a sophomore school record while 45 points were second on the team. He probably had his best offensive weekend as a collegian on Feb. 25-26 when he hit the net three times against Colgate/Cornell combined. Miller (Bloomfi eld Hills, Mich.), was 12th in the nation with 1.29 points per contest and registered the most (34 as a fresh- man) points by a Yale rookie since Tom Walsh set the bar with 41 in 1984-85. The speedy forward was the 2008-09 USA Junior Player of the Year and 2007 Michigan High School Mr. Hockey. In 2009-10 he was second among conference rookies with one point per game, which also put him fourth in the country for newcomers. He ranked eighth in Division I that year with .85 assists per outing. 2011-12 YALE MEN’S ICE HOCKEY GAME NOTES PAGE 3 WHALE OF A TIME The Whale (Ingalls Rink) has been a tough place for visitors in recent years. Yale, which enjoyed its fi rst undefeated (15-0-1, only Division I team to do that) regular season at Ingalls last winter, fi nished 17-1-1 at home. That is the most wins ever in New Haven for a Yale team (The Blue went unbeaten at New Haven in 1928- 29). The Bulldogs are 41-10-3 over the last three-plus seasons at the Whale and 12-10-3 in home ECAC playoff games all time.

SOLD OUT Ingalls Rink was sold out for the last 12 games of the 2010-11 regular season and the fi rst two games this season. The Nov. 26 Boston College game is already sold out, while only G.A. and S.R.O. tickets remain for contests with Harvard and Dartmouth.

CAPTAIN 2010-11 fi rst-team All-ECAC selection Brian O’Neill (107gp, 49-70-119) was named captain of the Bulldogs last April. He has led the team in scoring the last two seasons which included a career-high three goals at Clarkson on Feb. 12. He ranked 15th nationally with 1.29 points per game. He began 2010-11 with a 3-2-5 weekend in the two wins including 2-1-3 and the GWG against Dartmouth on Oct. 30. The year before, he led the Elis with 29 assists and 45 points while ranking seventh in the country with 1.32 PPG. O’Neill (Yardley, Pa.) made the 2008-09 CHN (national) and ECAC Hockey All-Rookie teams after going 12-14-26 in 2008-09.

MALCOLM Junior Jeff Malcolm (1.98, .938, 2-1-1) has been in the Yale goal all four games, including his fi rst career shutout on Nov. 5 against No. 18 Colgate with 39 saves. His career record is 8-5-1 with a 2.88 GAA.

NET MIX The Bulldogs also have junior Nick Maricic (Alta Loma, Calif.) and freshman Connor Wilson (Cary, NC) competing for playing time. Maricic (2.29, .890) last played in the third period of the 2011 NCAA East Regional fi nal.

BLUE LINE There are seven defensemen on the Yale roster: two seniors, a junior, a sophomore and three freshmen. Three of the seven have a depth of experience. Seniors Kevin Peel (Onoway, Alb.) and Nick Jaskowiak (Bloomington, Minn.) have been regu- lars since arriving in New Haven. Junior Colin Dueck (Calgary, Alb.) became a mainstay last winter and sophomore Gus Young (Dedham, Mass.) has seen action in every game this season.

AGOSTINO Yale sophomore forward Kenny Agostino was Yale’s rookie of the year last winter after scoring 11 goals and 25 points. Agostino, the HCA National Rookie of the Month for January (8-4-12), was the fi rst Bulldog to receive that award. He was ECAC Hockey MLX Skates Rookie of the Week on Jan. 23 (3 goals vs. Clarkson/SLU), becoming the only Bulldog to earn conference rookie honors in 2010-11. The former Delbarton School star had a goal and three assists before the holiday break, and 10 goals and 11 assists after. He ranked 11th nationally among rookies with .86 points per game. Agostino be- came the fi rst Yale newcomer in 30 years to record fi ve points in one game on Jan. 2. He notched three goals and two assists against Holy Cross and became the school’s fi rst freshman to tally fi ve points since former Olympian and NHL star Bob Brooke ‘83 established the school rookie record against Dartmouth in 1980.

OTTO Senior F Dan Otto (Lake Zurich, Ill.) has played in every game this year, the fi rst four games of his collegiate career. Battling injuries before he came to Yale, Otto has not been able to participate completely until this fall.

GEOGRAPHIC BALANCE The Yale roster includes players from 13 different states and three provinces. New York and Minnesota are represented by three players from each state while Alberta brings in four players.

2011-12 YALE MEN’S ICE HOCKEY GAME NOTES PAGE 4 FROM WHENCE THEY CAME The United States Hockey League contributed 10 players to the Bulldog roster. There are four from the British Columbia Hockey League, one from the Atlantic Junior Hockey League and another from the Eastern Junior Hockey League. Ten Yale student-athletes came directly from prep schools.

BULLDOG BITES Chad Ziegler and Antoine Laganiere each lead the team with two goals… The Bulldogs have one goal in four fi rst periods but fi ve in middle frames and two in fi nal stanzas… The Elis have converted four of 17 (23%) power-play chances… Yale outshot Princeton in the season opener but has been outshot in three straight since.

CODE RED There is one new face on the Yale bench this season, Dennis “Red” Gendron, who replaced Kyle Wallack as the Bulldogs’ associate head coach. Dennis “Red” Gendron, an assistant at the University of Massachusetts the last six seasons and a former University of Maine coach from 1990 to 1993. He helped the Black Bears win a 1993 NCAA Championship before working in the organization.

YALE’S LAST 3 The Yale men have left a mark on Division I over the last three seasons under Keith Allain ’80, the Malcolm G. Chace Head Coach of Hockey. The combined statistics from 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010-11 make the last three years the best in the his- tory of the sport in New Haven and among the best in the nation over that span.

WYBCX.COM The Yale student radio station formerly found on AM-1340 and on wybc.com, is only available via internet this season. WYBC does most of the home contests and a pre-game interview with Coach Allain.

INGALLS Yale hockey celebrated the re-dedication of Ingalls Rink (3,500 capacity) on Jan. 16, 2010. The rink built in 1958 has been modernized in many ways while adding 13,000 square feet of varsity operational space. The additions include locker rooms and space for strength & conditioning (including skating treadmill), student-athlete study area, medical & training, offi cials, video, coaches, equipment, reception (Schley Room) and more. There are new historical displays and concession stands and bathrooms for the building nicknamed the Yale Whale because of its humpback-shaped roof.

HARBOR YARD Yale and Fairfi eld hosted the 2009 and 2011 NCAA East Regional Tournaments in Bridgeport at Webster Bank’s Arena at Harbor Yard, and the Bulldogs participated in both. The 2012 East Regional is also slated for the Yard, which has also hosted numerous NCAA post-season events.

2011-12 YALE MEN’S ICE HOCKEY GAME NOTES PAGE 6 Keith Allain the Malcolm G. Chace Head Coach of Yale Hockey

Allain, a former NHL and Olympics assistant, was named the 11th head coach of the Yale Men’s Hockey program on April 15, 2006. Allain is the second Yale graduate to take the position. Yale Hockey’s’ unprecedented success since Keith Allain ‘80 took over in 2006 has elevated the Bull- dogs to be recognized among the nation’s perennial powers. Allain, Yale’s Malcolm G. Chace Head Coach of Hockey, has led the Blue to the best win percentage (.752) among Division I teams over the last three seasons while coming within a game of two straight Frozen Four appearances.

FOLLOWING LEGENDS Allain, replaced his mentor, Tim Taylor (1976-2006), whose fi rst team included Allain. Keith Allain completed his 12th overall year at Yale: four as a student, three as an assistant coach in the early 1980s and fi ve as head coach. Only Taylor (337, 28 years) and Murray Murdoch (278, 27) have more wins at Yale than Allain, who owns a 14-9 post season record.

MOST RECENTLY During the 2010-11 campaign Allain’s squad set the school record for wins (28-7-1), becoming the fi rst Bulldog team to be voted No. 1 in the national polls (2 straight months), held the top PairWise Ranking for most of the year, won four straight conference playoff games to capture their third consecutive ECAC Hockey Championship and beat Air Force in OT at the NCAA East Regional as the top seed in the 16-team fi eld. In addition, the Blue ended the season with Division I’s top offense, defense and winning percentage. College Hockey News in the 2008-09 season named Keith Allain National Coach of the Year.

NHL Allain previously head goalie coach position for the St. Louis Blues from 1998 to 2006, watched his netminders give up the fewest goals in the NHL in 1999-2000, claiming the William M. Jennings Trophy. That season the Blues captured the President’s Trophy for the best regular-season record in the league. His professional hockey coaching experience also includes serving as a scout for the NHL’s Nashville Predators in 1997-98 and a four-year (1993-97) stint as an assistant coach for the Washington Capitals, where he helped Jim Carey win the 1996 Vezina Trophy.

FORMER GOALIE While a starting goalie on for the Bulldog squad, Allain owns the fourth-most (31) wins for a Yale netminder and ranks fourth at the school with 2,337 career saves. He owns four of the top 10 Yale single-game save totals, including 55 stops in a 7-3 loss at Minnesota on Dec. 28, 1978. Allain played two years (1980-82) of professional hockey in Sweden before suffering a career-ending injury.

FAMILY Allain is a Worcester, Mass., native who comes from a strong hockey background having fi ve of his six brothers that played hockey and a father who had played professionally in the old Eastern League. He and his wife, Mi, have three children: Josefi ne, Julia and Niklas.
