HAMDEN, Conn. — The No. 18/20 Quinnipiac men's ice hockey program hits the ice this weekend twice against the Tigers of Princeton in ECAC action, with Friday night's battle in New Jersey and Saturday night's contest in Hamden.

The Bobcats swept the series a year ago, winning 9-2 on home ice before knocking off the Tigers by a 3-1 margin at Hobey Baker Rink.

MAY THE SCHWARTZ BE WITH YOU

First year forward Aaron Schwartz had a career night on Monday, recording a goal and three assists in Quinnipiac's 6-1 win over Stonehill.
He was part of the scoring on a pair of tallies in both the second and third period, scoring at the 12:12 mark of the final frame. He assisted on the Bobcats' first, third and sixth goals of the night.
He joins a club of 10, first-year players to record four or more points in a game and is one of 13 freshmen to dish three or more assists in a game this season.

POWERED UP

Entering the weekend, the Bobcats boast the nation's fifth-best power-play rate, converting on 27.5 percent of its opportunities. That mark also leads the ECAC.
12 of their 19 on the season have come since Nov. 15, the third-most in the country, scoring on 29.3 percent of opportunities since then.
Travis Treloar recorded his sixth goal on the advantage this season, the 23rd of his collegiate career, which is the most among any active NCAA D1 skaters.

FINDING THEIR STRIDE

After a 3-5-0 start to the campaign, the Bobcats have started to hit a groove, going 8-2-1 over their last nine contests and currently find themselves top of the ECAC standings.
The eight wins are tied for the second-most over that stretch, averaging out to a .772 winning percentage.
The Bobcats have killed off 27 of 28 penalties during that span, disposing of opposing power plays at a 96.3 percent clip. Only Holy Cross (97.1) and Western Michigan (97.0) have a better rate.

NEW HOCK(L)EY PLAYER

Defenseman Drew Hockley made the jump from the BCHL to the NCAA for the second semester of the season, coming over from the Victoria Grizzlies.
The Kentville, Nova Scotia native recorded 24 points in 23 games with eight goals and 16 assists before making the jump.
He has made four starts since coming to Quinnipiac, paired with assistant captain Davis Pennington in all contests.

JACK OF ALL GOALSCORERS

Grad student Jack Ricketts set a new Division I program mark on Dec. 29, scoring four goals in 39 minutes, including a natural hat trick, to aid the Bobcats in their 6-5 victory over AIC.
Ricketts recorded his second hat trick of 2024 and the Bobcats' first of the season. It was also the first natural hat trick since Travis St. Denis in 2014.
With the four tallies, he took over the NCAA active goalscoring lead with 54 to his name, three ahead of Minnesota's Jimmy Snuggerud.
