HAMDEN, Conn. — For the third time in program history, the No. 18 Quinnipiac men's ice hockey program heads to Madison Square Garden to take on No. 11 Cornell in the 2024 Frozen Apple. The Bobcats bested the Big Red 3-1 just seven days ago at Lynah Rink in an ECAC contest.

Quinnipiac has a pair of one-goal victories at The World's Most Famous Arena in its Division I tenure, knocking off Harvard, 5-4, in 2016 and UConn, 4-3, in 2003.

'CATS IN THE GARDEN

Quinnipiac returns to Madison Square Garden for the third time in its program history and will look to leave victorious, just has it had in the other two trips to the World's Most Famous Arena.
The Bobcats knocked off Harvard in the Rivalry on Ice game on Jan. 9, 2016 in which Derek Smith found the net 2:55 into the extra session after Harvard had roared back from a 4-0 deficit in the game to tie it halfway through the period.
Quinnipiac also played UConn in the final edition of the Heroes' Hat series with the Huskies, defeating them 4-3 on March 1, 2003 in the Big Apple.

CAPTAIN TRAV

Grad student and captain Travis Treloar has started his league campaign strong, tallying five points in four ECAC contests to start his final conference season. He had a hot weekend, finishing it with a career-best three assists against Yale on Nov. 16.
He was the first Bobcat this season to record three assists in a game and bested his previous college-high of two that he recorded five times over his time in Hamden and at Ohio State.

MR. 1100

November 2 was Rand Pecknold's 1100th game behind the bench for the Bobcats as they take on Holy Cross. In his 31st season with the squad, he has amassed 644 wins, the most by any active Division I coach in the country.
He is one of four active coaches, joining Rick Gotkin, Frank Serratore and Bob Daniels, and one of 14 coaches all-time to reach the mark.

E-G MONEY

First-year defender and Boston Bruins draft pick Elliott Groenewold has showed off his 200-foot game to start his collegiate career, leading the team in both blocks and game-winning goals through the first 12 contests.
He has blocked a team-best 19 shots while also providing a pair of game-deciding tallies, scoring winners at Holy Cross on Nov. 2 and, most recently, at Brown on Nov. 15.

WHERE THERE'S A WILM, THERE'S A WAY

Jeremy Wilmer started his Bobcat career with a multi-goal outing against Penn State, scoring the first and third goals of the night in a 3-2 victory on Oct. 12.
He also stands as one of the nation's most prolific passers, averaging 0.72 assists per game over his 82 games played. That mark is fourth nationally amongst all active Division I players.

THROUGH THE RICKETTS

Grad student Jack Ricketts brings clutch goalscoring talent to the Bobcats for his final year of college hockey, currently with nine game-winning goals to his name.
He also entered the year as the nation's leading active Division I goalscorer, currently with 49.
