The winners meet at 7 on the 26th, while the third-place game is 3:30. “Connecticut is a great hockey state, and the arena is a great place to play the game,” said Keith Allain ’80, Yale’s Malcolm G. Chace Head Coach. Tickets for this event are available at sny.tv/info/connecticut-ice.

CLASS OF 2019 Three seniors from last year’s squad are playing hockey this winter, but only one took a traditional path. Joe Snively, an All-ECAC forward and Washington Caps signee, is playing forward for the AHL Hershey Bears. His ex-teammates Sam Tucker (G) and Andrew Gaus (F) may be breaking ground for Bulldogs as grad transfers. Tucker () and Gaus (Colorado College) had a year of eligibility that could not be used at an Ivy League School, so they took scholarship offers to play one more season. Of course, they are working towards new degrees, Gaus for a master’s in teaching and Tucker in Met- ropolitan College’s graduate program for financial management. The captain of the 2018-19 team, Anthony Walsh, is back in the program as the operations director.

CLASSROOM Yale MIH earned an NCAA Public Recognition Award for the 2018-19 academic year by having an NCAA Division I Academic Progress Rate in the top 10 percent of all squads.
