Union may be short-handed going into Friday's crucial ECAC Hockey game against Colgate at Messa Rink. Sophomore goalie Troy Grosenick suffered a lower-body injury in practice this week. Grosenick, who leads the country with a 1.58 goals-against average, was on the ice for the start of Thursday's practice. However, he ...

The podcast of an abbreviated edition of my "Slap Schotts" college hockey segment is now available. Colgate coach Don Vaughan was the guest.

If you haven't purchased your tickets for Union's ECAC Hockey games this weekend at Messa Rink, you may be out of luck. Saturday's showdown between second-place Cornell and the ECACH-leading Dutchmen is a sellout. Limited standing-room only tickets are being sold, but are going fast. Friday's matchup between the Dutchmen ...
