Harvard coach Ted Donato, in his 16th season behind the bench of his alma mater, has his 5-0-0 Crimson at No. 10 in the USCHO.com men’s Division I poll. Donato joins hosts Jim Connelly and Ed Trefzger to talk about this year’s team and ECAC Hockey, and speaks in favor of expanding the Ivy League schedule from 29 to 34 games (something a fellow Ivy coach, Cornell’s Mike Schafer, has also advocated) and also the 3v3 overtime format.
