Trinity "Pump-Up" Video" 
Trinity Hockey, on their new YouTube channel, has posted a "pump-up" video (embed below) for opening night produced by Trinity freshman  forward Ryan Cole. But the NAHL recruit isn't officially a Trinity hockey player to the general public yet, since the Bantams haven't released their 2013-14 roster.

The video starts with interviews with players and scenes from the dramatic overtime win over Wesleyan in the NESCAC Quarterfinals last year. The general gist is that they were excited with that win but would like to go even further this season.  The video then transitions into scenes from workouts, practice, the locker room and  the Koeppel Center over  "City of Dreams" by Alesso & Dirty South.  The video ends with a POV walk from the locker room to the ice. Along the way you see the Trinity Hockey mantra  "Whatever it Takes We Walk Together" emblazoned on the locker room door.


Williams Record Preview
The Williams student paper, The Williams Record, has a preview for the Ephs 2013-14 men's hockey season.

Article includes some good quotes from Williams senior co-captains Nick Anderson '14 and Paul Steinig '14.

Hamilton Date Auction 
Like Trinity (and Conn College), we're still waiting on Hamilton's official roster. But before the freshman Conts ever make an official roster or play in a NESCAC game, they got to be auctioned off (along with some upperclassmen) like man meat for charity. 

The Hamilton Social Traditions Committee hosted its annual Men's Hockey Date Auction on November 11th and raised $755 - the most they have gotten in three years - for Clinton ABC. Freshman blueliner Xavier Morin (D, '17) commanded the highest bid at $160. Two-way junior Dom Jancaterino (D/F, '15) helped to emcee the event. 

If you look at the accompanying photos in the article, you'll see some serious Jaromir Jagr early '90s swag from the Conts, including denim outfits, fedoras and flowing locks.
