THIS WEEKEND
The Dartmouth men's hockey team starts a seven-game homestand this weekend at Thompson Arena. The Big Green host Cornell on Friday evening followed by Colgate on Saturday evening.

Friday's game is presented by The Richards Group while Saturday's game is presented by Cardigan Mountain School.

Saturday's contest will see Dartmouth Athletics and the men's hockey program celebrate long-time head coach and Big Green alum Bob Gaudet '81, the winningest coach in program history. There will be several promotions throughout the night.

LOOKING BACK TO LAST WEEKEND
Dartmouth picked up their first sweep of the season with wins over Brown and Yale. On Friday evening, the Big Green posted a 4-3 victory over the Bears. Cooper Flinton led the way with two goals and one assist while Cam MacDonald scored his first collegiate goal, along with adding an assist to register his first multi-point game. Two of the goals came on the power play, with Dartmouth scoring inside the first 10 seconds of both power plays.

The Big Green carried the momentum into Saturday's game at Yale, winning 4-0 to claim the season sweep over the Bulldogs. Matt Hubbarde played a role in each goal, finishing with one goal and four assists. Luke Haymes finished with a goal and an assist while Joey Musa and Braiden Dorfman scored the other goals. For the second night in a row, Dartmouth scored two power play goals. Cooper Black made 24 saves in goal to earn his second shutout of the season.

ECAC HOCKEY WEEKLY AWARDS
On Monday, Hubbarde was named the ECAC Hockey Forward of the Week after finishing the weekend with one goal and four assists. It's the second straight week a Big Green skater earned an ECAC Hockey weekly award after Alex Krause was named Rookie of the Week just a week ago.
