Along with the always tenacious 22-game conference slate in ECAC Hockey, Clarkson, guided by third-year co-head coaches Shannon and Matt Desrosiers and assistant coach Matt Kelly, will compete against a formidable non-league schedule, featuring games against teams from the other three Division I conferences. The Green and Gold will play eight of their 34 games against teams that competed in the 2010 NCAA Tournament.
Picking up where it left off last March, Clarkson will open the season by hosting the University of Minnesota in a two-game series at Cheel Arena. The Knights will battle the Gophers, last year’s NCAA Tournament foe, in Potsdam on October 1-2 in the first of 17 games at Cheel in 2010-11. Clarkson posted a .692 winning percentage at home with an 80-32-13 record at Cheel through the first seven years.
After the Minnesota weekend, the Green and Gold will take to the road for five of their next six games beginning with a trip to Hockey East rivals the University of Connecticut and Providence College on October 8-9. Clarkson will battle North Country neighbor St. Lawrence University in a non-league, home-and-home weekend matchup on October 15-16 before closing out the non-league stretch with games at the University of New Hampshire and Boston University and on October 22-23.
ECAC Hockey play begins on October 29 with Clarkson hosting Union College.
The Knights open the month of November at Syracuse University on November 5 and then host the Orange on November 12. Clarkson rounds out the non-league portion of the schedule by taking on the University of Vermont at Cheel on November 27-28.
