In the midst of much cheering of all Devils teams, big, small and Lowell-oriented, I failed to comment on Princeton clinching the Ivy League men’s ice hockey championship for the first time this {decade, century, coaching era}. Last time the Tiger strode atop the Ivy halls, some kid named Jeff Halpern (now #11 on the Dallas Stars) was captain, and the Tigers also ran the table in the ECAC tournament.
The ECAC regular season wraps up this weekend, and Princeton already has a first-round bye. Unfortunately, that means my one shot at seeing a playoff game happens to be the same weekend we’re closing out our youth hockey season in the nation’s capitol, but I can cheer while listening to a netcast of the game. Hip, hip, rah, rah, etc: Go Tigers!
