For the most part, the four ECAC Hockey teams playing this year made it through the season unscathed.<\/p>\n

But news that Clarkson was cancelling its season last week after some team members violated the school\u2019s COVID-19 policies<\/a> brought back flashbacks to last March, when teams started to drop out of the league tournament before the entire hockey season was eventually canceled.<\/p>\n

However, that wasn\u2019t the case this season, as the three remaining teams are set to compete in the abbreviated ECAC Hockey playoffs starting Thursday, when fourth-seeded Colgate travels to No. 3 St. Lawrence at 5 p.m. The winner of that game will face top-seeded Quinnipiac at 4 p.m. Saturday, concluding what\u2019s been an unusual ECAC Hockey season.<\/p>\n

Teams have had to get creative this year in order to keep playing safely.<\/p>\n

Quinnipiac coach Rand Pecknold said that his team dresses in four different locker rooms, while goalie Keith Petruzzelli often changes in an official\u2019s room.<\/p>\n

Despite all the changes, the coaches are quick to recognize all the work that has gone into playing this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Colgate and all the other schools still playing deserve a lot of credit for the time and money they\u2019ve put in to get us to this place,\u201d Raiders coach Don Vaughan said. \u201cThat doesn\u2019t go unnoticed by our guys. Our guys are grateful that the school have stepped up. I think they\u2019ve done a great job to continue to make that commitment to community healthy. Everybody is doing their part and we\u2019re just thrilled to be playing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a preview of the three teams set to compete for the league championship later this week:<\/p>\n

No. 4 Colgate at No. 3 St. Lawrence<\/h4>\n

Season series<\/strong>: Colgate 3-2-1
\nTop scorers<\/strong>: Colgate – Alex Young (6-7-13); St. Lawrence: Cameron Buhl (3-10-13)<\/p>\n

Colgate ended the regular season with arguably its best win of the year, beating Quinnipiac 4-3 on March 6, while St. Lawrence resumed practicing on Sunday after a pause in team activities due to COVID-19 precautions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got to get our legs back,\u201d said Saints coach Brent Brekke, whose team hasn\u2019t played a game since Feb. 27. \u201cWe\u2019re not going to get into optimal condition. That\u2019s just the reality of that. It\u2019s a balancing act of where you can\u2019t tax the legs too much, but you have to try and gain your legs back.\u201d<\/p>\n

It helps that St. Lawrence has Emil Zetterquist in goal. The junior has been the Saints best player this season, and enters the playoffs with .928 save percentage.<\/p>\n

But even with Zetterquist in net, Brekke knows that the Saints can\u2019t afford to play passively.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe talked to our guys; it would be easy to come off a ten-day pause where you haven\u2019t skated for a week and a half just say that we\u2019re going just going to sit back and not overextend ourselves. That\u2019s not the way we\u2019re built, but doing that, you have to manage the puck because you don\u2019t want to get into a track meet where you\u2019re going up and down the ice because you can get extended quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the Raiders, Colgate has been mired in a six-game winless streak before beating Quinnipiac to end the regular season.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve played two of the top 15 teams in the country a combined 14 times in Clarkson and Quinnipiac,\u201d Vaughan said. \u201cFor our young team, that is a baptism by fire. We\u2019ve learn a ton and we\u2019ve grown as a group. From that standpoint, its\u2019 been a great development piece.\u201d<\/p>\n

Colgate has gotten several important contributions from its freshman class this season. Goalie Carter Gylander has played the most minutes in net for the Raiders, while defenseman Pierson Brandon was named the league\u2019s best defensive defenseman and forward Alex Young lead the team in scoring.<\/p>\n

While the Raiders have played Clarkson and Quinnipiac plenty of times, Vaughan said it was probably the Saints who bottled the Raiders up in their own end the most of the three league teams.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were physical, every inch of ice was contested,\u201d Vaughan said. \u201cYou\u2019ve got two teams that are pretty similar in a lot of ways\u2026for our young team, it\u2019s going to be a great experience with a lot on the line and a chance to compete for a championship.\u201d<\/p>\n

No. 1 Quinnipiac<\/h4>\n

Top scorer<\/strong>: Odeen Tufto (6-38-44)
\nSeason series vs. Colgate<\/strong>: 4-1-1
\nSeason series vs. St. Lawrence<\/strong>: 4-1-1<\/p>\n

In a way, Saturday\u2019s championship is a microcosm of how the season has gone this year, as Quinnipiac won\u2019t know their opponent until less than 48 hours before game time.
\n\u201cIn this year, you\u2019ve got to deal with what\u2019s in front of you,\u201d Pecknold said. \u201cWe\u2019ll be fine. Our guys will be fired up and we\u2019ll be ready to play.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regardless of the opponent, Pecknold hopes his team isn\u2019t too fired up, as penalties have hurt the Bobcats at times this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe big thing is staying away from the penalties,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019ve taken a lot of penalties this year and we can\u2019t do that on Saturday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite that, Quinnipiac\u2019s penalty kill has been clicking this year, especially in league play. A big part of that has been Petruzzelli, who has a .929 save percentage and is tied for third in the country in shutouts.<\/p>\n

Offensively, Quinnipiac has been led by senior Odeen Tufto, who leads the nation in assists and faceoff winning percentage.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been as a good as any player offensively in a season that I\u2019ve ever had,\u201d Pecknold said. \u201cHe\u2019s been absolutely dominant. He\u2019s a weapon for us in all three zones. When I put him on the ice, we have the puck.\u201d<\/p>\n

It could be little details like that which give Quinnipiac the edge Saturday in what Pecknold expects Saturday to be a close game.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to make sure that we compete and battle,\u201d he said. \u201cWith the type of goaltending that either team is going to put in the net, it\u2019s going to be a hard game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Around the league<\/h4>\n

* With Clarkson\u2019s season over, junior forward Josh Dunne signed a two-year entry level deal with Columbus on Sunday. Dunne was one of the best two-way players in the league during his first two seasons, but got a late start this year due to an injury and finished with only five points in 14 games.<\/p>\n

* The league has started announcing its end-of-year awards.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s who has been honored so far:<\/p>\n

Coach of the year<\/strong>: Rand Pecknold, Quinnipiac
\nRookie of the year<\/strong>: Ethan Haider, Clarkson
\nBest defensive forward<\/strong>: Zach Tsekos, Clarkson
\nBest defensive defenseman<\/strong>: Pierson Brandon, Colgate<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
