Way to go, ECACHL

With all due respect, it's hard to imagine Princeton in the top tier of ANYTHING hockey-related.

It ain't all that long since Princeton won the ECAC tournament.

Remember, although Union didn't exactly tear up the league when they came in in 1991-92, they beat a highly-touted Cornell team at Lynah.  You never know what a team can do when it has something to prove.  I'm picking Q for first-round home ice.

Gadowski's also the real deal.  It took him two recruiting classes to turn around similarly sorry AAF, so - based on this track record - the projection may be a year premature.

To be honest, Cornell wasn't exactly highly touted that year -- they were (and would wind up) in fifth place.  Still, that was a huge loss to a basically Division III team they had beaten 8-1 the month before.

Q also loses their top goalie, Jamie Holden, who started all but three of their games.  They also lose three of their top five scorers, although their only two guys to average over a point a game return.

Beating us, en route.   :-(

I worship the Law of Conservation of Suckiness too, but I think the conference lost a ton of talent, and Princeton didn't.  They have not always been horrendous -- they won 18+ games three years running in the late 90's.  I think they may turn it around.

Now watch them have a "4 point season clap, clap, clapclapclap."

Note: the "clap" above is in no way a reference to Nickerson.
