HAMDEN, Conn. — The No. 5 Quinnipiac men's ice hockey program welcomes Maine for its final non-conference weekend of the year, Friday and Saturday night at M&T Bank Arena. It is the return of a road trip the Bobcats made the third weekend of the 2022-23 campaign in which the two squads split.

The Bobcats enter the weekend after a split at another Hockey East foe, New Hampshire, winning 5-2 on Friday night before falling 5-4 in overtime on Saturday. The Black Bears have a pair of victories over RPI before not playing last weekend.

WINNIN', WINNIN', JACOB QUILLAN

The junior forward out of Nova Scotia picked up right where he left off after a career offensive year in 2022-23, currently leading the squad with seven points. He earned ECAC Forward of the Week honors for the second consecutive week.
For the second time in three outings, the Nova Scotia native potted an OT winner that send the Bobcats in celebration against AIC on Oct. 13. This time, he took a cross-ice pass from Davis Pennington and waited out the Yellow Jackets' defenders and goaltender to slot the winner.

GOALS, GALORE

The Bobcat offense has started to find a groove, totaling 17 goals in the last three contests including eight the last time they stepped on the M&T Bank Arena ice.
That is the most in a three-game stretch since they potted 22 against Clarkson, RPI and then Union from Dec. 3-10 last season. All three of those games were on home ice.

EIGHT IS GR8

For the third time at M&T Bank Arena in the last 10 months, the Bobcats potted eight goals past an opposing goaltender, this time in shutout fashion in an 8-0 victory over AIC on Oct. 14.
The Bobcats join Minnesota Duluth and Omaha as the three teams in NCAA Men's D1 hockey this season to hit that number in a single game.

MEMORABLE DEBUT

Mason Marcellus scored in his first collegiate game on Oct. 7, finding a loose puck behind the BC netminder and stuffing it home to tie the game with 5:28 to go in regulation.
He became the second Bobcat in as many seasons to score in their collegiate debut, with Charles Alexis Legault scoring in his first collegiate action against Oct. 7, 2022, also against Boston College in a 4-0 win.

HOME SWEET HOME

Quinnipiac enters the 2023-24 campaign with five players from the state of Connecticut, the most since the program turned Division I. The Bobcats host five of the 42 players from CT on their roster.
A pair of granite state players return from last season in Victor Czerneckianair and Timothy Heinke, while Cooper Moore came home after three years at North Dakota and Matthew McGroarty and Andon Cerbone chose to play their college hockey in their home states.
