As the new season is starting, time to start a new thread methinks.
Friday night there was a exhibition game against the University of Prince Edward Island. I think the game was officially a scrimmage but score was kept, game had the usual two refs and two linesmen. Harvard won 3-1. The team looked good and passing seemed quicker and cleaner than we have seen for a while. One item of interest; Katie Guay, an experienced ECAC ref of women's games was on the ice for this game. I think this is the first time a woman ref officiated at a men's game at Bright.
Saturday night the men faced the University of New Brunswick at Bright. The game was a 3-3 tie after a 5 minute overtime. UNB has had a good record so far this season. The beat the Portland Pirates of the AHL in a pre-season game and beat BC 5-2 and U. of Maine 5-1 in exhibition games. They also have had wins against UPEI, St FrancisX and Dalhousie in regular season games so far this season. It was a physical game with UNB getting 44 minutes and Harvard 10 minutes. UNB penalties included a match misconduct and a game misconduct. Ryan Donato scored his first goal in Crimson although since it was an exhibition game I am not sure if it will count in his stats.
For those who have not been to Bright since last season, they have ripped out all the old seating and replaced it with theatre type seating. Looks nice but it seems like the seats are designed to look up at a movie screen rather than down at a rink as the seats slope backward a bit too much. Not good for those of us with lumbar disk issues. I will try to remember to bring a back cushion to future games.
