BACK TO CONFERENCE PLAY
The Dartmouth men's hockey team returns to conference play this weekend with a trip to New York to take on Colgate and Cornell. The Big Green square off with the Raiders on Friday evening before taking on fellow Ivy Cornell on Saturday.

LOOKING BACK TO THE FRIENDSHIP FOUR
Dartmouth made their first ever appearance in the Friendship Four this past weekend. The Big Green played #4 Quinnipiac in the first game, with the Bobcats taking a 5-2 win. Cooper Black made 36 saves in net while Sean Chisholm and Matt Hubbarde claimed the goals, both of which came on the power play.

Dartmouth was tasked with another top 20 program in the #14 UMass Lowell River Hawks. The Big Green took a 3-0 lead in the first period through goals from Tanner Palocsik, Cooper Flinton and Luke Haymes. The River Hawks cut the deficit to one goal in the second period before tying the game late in the third and ultimately taking the win in overtime. Black made 36 saves for the second night in a row and picked up his first collegiate point with an assist on Palocsik's goal.

THE STATS
Haymes leads the Big Green in scoring with six goals. Six players are tied for second as Braiden Dorfman, Flinton, Hubbarde, Chisholm, Ian Pierce and Trym Løkkeberg each have two. Palocsik has a team-high six assists while Cam MacDonald has four. Tyler Campbell, John Fusco, Dorfman, Flinton and Hubbarde all have three apiece.

Defensively, Dartmouth has blocked 63 shots this season, led by Joey Musa and Fusco, who each have 10. Jack Cameron has nine and Sean Keohan has eight.

Black has started all eight games between the pipes and has made 217 saves while allowing 21 goals for a save percentage of .912.

SCOUTING COLGATE
Colgate enters the weekend with a 6-9-1, 4-2-0 record this season. The Raiders are coming off two 3-2 losses to Atlantic Hockey member Niagara over the Thanksgiving weekend.

Matt Verboon leads Colgate in scoring with seven goals. Alex Young is second with five goals and Alex DiPaolo and Nic Belpedio are right behind with four each. DiPaolo has a team-high nine assists while Nick Anderson and Young both have eight.

Carter Gylander has started 15 of 16 games in goal for the Raiders. He has made 423 saves while allowing 36 goals for a save percentage of .922.

ALL-TIME AGAINST THE RAIDERS
The Big Green hold a narrow lead in the all-time series with a 53-52-8 record against the Raiders. Dartmouth took four points from Colgate a season ago with a 3-2 win at Thompson Arena in November followed by an overtime loss in January at the Class of 1965 Arena.

Dartmouth is looking for their first win at Colgate since a 1-0 victory on January 18, 2019.

SCOUTING CORNELL
Cornell enters the weekend with a 6-4-0, 4-2-0 record. They take on #7 Harvard on Friday evening. Last time out, the Big Red defeated #6 UConn, 6-0, in the Frozen Apple at Madison Square Garden.

Dalton Bancroft has a team-high four goals. Max Andreev and Zach Tupker sit behind in second with three apiece. There's a three-way tie at the top for assists as Gabriel Seger, Sean Donaldson and Andreev each have five.

Ian Shane has started eight of 10 games in net for the Big Red, making 167 saves and allowing 12 goals for a save percentage of .933.

ALL-TIME AGAINST THE BIG RED
The Big Red have an 85-50-7 all-time record over the Big Green. Cornell snagged a 5-4 victory in a thrilling contest last season at Thompson Arena in early November. The two teams played to a 2-2 tie at Lynah Rink in January with Dartmouth walking away with the extra point after a shootout win.

The Big Green are looking for their first win in Ithaca since a 4-2 victory on January 28, 2017.
