Good evening from Cheel Arena, when Union looks to keep its ECAC Hockey roll going as it faces Clarkson tonight.
The Dutchmen (5-5 ECACH, 12-9-1 overall) have won four of their last five ECACH games. The Golden Knights, who were my Daily Gazette ECACH team of the week this week after their come-from-behind wins last weekend at Yale and Brown, are 3-6-1 in the league, an 5-13-4 overall.
I had a good trip up. Listened to a lot of music (mostly 80s music), and, yes, I sang a little. Well, a lot. Thank goodness no one was in the car to hear me.
And it's a balmy 24 degrees up here!!!
