HAMDEN, Conn. — The No. 7 Quinnipiac men's ice hockey program begins a road swing of six in a row and seven of the next 10 this weekend, taking on Colgate and Cornell.

Both games will be featured on SNY as part of the ECAC's Game of the Week package, as well as nationwide on ESPN+.

'CATS ARE HOT

Quinnipiac has own 11 of its last 12 outings, a stretch that dates back to a Nov. 8 overtime victory at Brown. The Bobcats are 11-1-0 over that span, the lone loss coming at Union to close out the first half.
Quinnipiac is outscoring teams 58-30, leading the country in both total goals and goals per game in that span. Their one loss since then is also the fewest in the country and they are one of four teams with double-digit wins.

THE POINT IS...

Both Ethan Wyttenbach and Markus Vidicek have been consistent forces on the offensive end for the Bobcats this season, recording points on a regular basis.
Wyttenbach has points in 19 of 22 contests, tied for the most games with a point in the country, currently sitting on 31 total. Vidicek is one game fewer, sitting on 14 goals and ten assists.
Chris Pelosi joins the crew just one game behind, totaling 17 games with a point this season. Quinnipiac is the only school in the country with three skaters with 17-plus games with a point.

NEW YEAR'S #GOALS

Saturday's matchup at Lynah Rink will feature two of the highest-powered offenses since the calendar turned to 2026, with Quinnipiac and Cornell taking to the ice.
The two teams have combined for 46 in their first four games, with the Bobcats (25) four ahead of the Big Red (21) on the overall leaderboard.
The two squads are also half of four total teams that have won all four games they've played coming into the new year, joining Western Michigan and Augustana.

SPENGLER CUP MEDALISTS

Sophomore forward Chris Pelosi earned a runner-up medal at the 2025 Spengler Cup over the holiday break, with the 97th edition of the tournament being held in Davos, Switzerland.
After rallying but falling a goal short against Hockey Canada, the US Collegiate Selects went on a run of 131:15 of not trailing, defeating host HC Davos and Sparta Prague to go on a magical run to the final, only to see a 3-3 tie going into the third turn into a 6-3 victory for the host Davos to claim its record-setting 17th trophy.
Pelosi made two appearances in the tournament, playing 23 minutes and finishing with an even plus-minus and was part of a squad that took the country and European hockey world by storm.

BACKING THE BANK

The Bobcats are off to another unbeaten start at M&T Bank Arena, going 10-0-2 on home ice in their first 12 outings, most recently sweeping Union and RPI on home ice.
They have played the most home games this season (12) without a loss and are second in scoring (4.9 goals per game) on home ice this season, trailing only Michigan. They are one of two teams (Cornell) who have yet to lose at home.
Since 2020-21, the Bobcats are tied for first in scoring defense (1.8), third in scoring offense (4.2), first in wins (82) and third in losses (16) on home ice.
