HAMDEN, Conn. — The No. 6/7 Quinnipiac men's ice hockey program heads down to the CT Ice Tournament at Yale this weekend, as the sixth rendition of the weekend commences. Ingalls Rink serves as this weekend's host, with Sacred Heart and Quinnipiac opening the action on Friday at 4 p.m., with UConn and Yale at 7:30 p.m.

The losers will meet in the consolation matchup on Saturday at 4 p.m., with the winners meeting in the final at 7:30 p.m.

FIRST IS THE... BEST

Starting fast has been a recipe for success for the Bobcats in the last two seasons, as scoring the first goal has usually meant a win in the end. Entering the weekend, they are 31-1-1 when scoring the opening tally since the beginning of the 2024-25 campaign.
The lone blemishes have come this year, when they tied Alaska and fell to Yale.

THREE'S THE MAGIC NUMBER

The Bobcat offense has consistently provided winning ways throughout the first half, scoring three-plus goals in 18 contests and not losing any of those games, going 17-0-1.
Of the 10 unbeaten teams when they score three or more, Michigan is the only team without a blemish, going 19-0. Union is the only team along with the Bobcats with a singular tie, while Miami has tied twice and Augustana has tied three times.

NUTMEG STATE SUPREMACY

The sixth edition of CT Ice kicks off on Friday night on the campus of Yale University, with Quinnipiac playing Sacred Heart in a rematch of the 2020 CT Ice title game in which the Pioneers won 4-1.
Quinnipiac then ripped off three consecutive titles, winning in 2022, 2023 and 2024, taking home the titles in Bridgeport, Hamden and Hartford.
UConn took home the title a season ago, defeating the Bobcats' in a thrilling semifinal before taking down hosts Sacred Heart to take the trophy back to Storrs.

HOBEY HOPEFUL

First year forward Ethan Wyttenbach was tabbed as a 2026 Hobey Baker Award nominee, the organization announced on Wednesday afternoon.
The Roslyn, N.Y., native is first amongst all first-years in the country in points with 33 and tied for third amongst all skaters in that category. He has also recorded a point in 21 games this season, the most of any skater in the country.
He went on a nine-game point streak from Nov. 4 to Dec. 5, the second-longest streak of anybody in the nation and also put together a seven-game stretch to begin his collegiate career.

'CATS ARE HOT

Since Nov. 8, Quinnipiac has been red-hot going 13-1-0 over that span. They are the only team with fewer than two losses since then and also lead the country in goals (67), goals per game (4.8), scoring margin (+35) and are second in faceoff percentage (56.4%) since then.
