Backman Close to Century Scoring Mark F Sean Backman has 95 career points in 98 games, including 60 goals. Yale’s active career goals leader was named to the College Hockey News (CHN) 2008-09 Pre-Season All-America squad. He was second-team All-ECAC last year after leading his team with 20 goals. Backman tallied the team’s lone hat trick in a 5-0 win over Cornell that gave the Blue the ECAC Hockey Tournament Title and made him tournament MVP. Century Mark Senior F Mark Arcobello has 102 career games played. Most Eli seniors don’t get a glimpse of triple digits until late in their fi nal campaigns. Two of his teammates, F Sean Backman (98) and D Ryan Donald (94), should follow Arcobello. All three could break the record of 125 games shared by Jeff Hamilton ‘01 and Jeff Hristovski ‘06. Captain Ryan Donald Ryan Donald (St. Albert, ALB), a class of 2010 defenseman, is the captain of the 2009-10 Bulldogs. The 6-foot-3, 220-pound Bulldog skater is one of 20 NCAA hockey candidates for the 2009-10 Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classifi ed as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence - classroom, character, community and competition. Donald has compiled a 2.93 grade point average as a political science major at one of the nation’s top universities. He was recognized as a member of the ECAC All-Academic team in 2009. On the Bench Keith Allain ‘80, Yale’s Malcolm G. Chace Head Coach of Hockey, has helped establish the Bulldogs on the national scene since he joined the program three years ago. In 2008-09 he led Yale to the best season in the program’s history. A school-record 24 wins, Yale’s fi rst ECAC Tournament Championship and a school-best No. 5 national ranking in late March backs up that statement. The Elis’ second ECAC regular-season title, a third NCAA Tournament appearance and an Ivy League crown confi rm the status of the 2008-09 squad. He was honored by ECAC coaches as conference coach of the year (Tim Taylor Award) and College Hockey News named him national coach of the year. Ingalls Renovations Dedication night for the renovated Ingalls Rink is Jan. 16 when the Yale men host Brown after the women play RPI. That is also alumni day for both squads. The underground addition, which includes approximately 13,000 square feet of varsity operational space, is located on the Mansfi eld Street side of the rink. It includes locker rooms for both varsity teams. There is also a strength and conditioning center, student-athlete study area, training room, offi cials room, video room, coaches’ offi ces, equipment room and more. The rest of Ingalls has also received a major upgrade, with a new Schley Room reception area on the other side of the rink. A Yale Hockey Heritage area, highlighting more than 120 years of Yale hockey history, will be located right outside the Schley Room. There will also be a new concessions stand and bathrooms in the area where the visiting varsity team locker room used to be; the visitors will now use the locker room that the Yale women’s team used to use.
