The Golden Knights will enter the ECAC's Championship Weekend for the 13th time in Lake Placid and the 36th time in the history of the event.  Clarkson knocked the top seeded Bobcats last weekend to earn the right to face the Dartmouth Big Green today at 4:00 pm.

Clarkson lost and tied the Big Green this season and is 3-1-1 in their last 5 meetings with Dartmouth.  Clarkson has faced Dartmouth 4 times in the ECAC Postseason, with a 2-2
all time record. In the ECAC Semi-Finals, the Knights hold a 2-1 advantage, thanks to last year's 4-1 win that sent the Knights to the finals vs Cornell.  In the Semi- Final Game, Clarkson holds a 16-19 record.  In all time ECAC Playoff Games, Clarkson is 107-86-5.   Before all teams qualified for post season play, Clarkson had missed the playoffs
only ONCE, in 1974.

The sweep of Quinnipiac last weekend has given the Knights a great sense of confidence coming into the weekend.   Clarkson has 5 wins and 2 ties vs ranked opponents. The Knights have wins against Top Ten ranked teams this season (#2 Penn St., #7 Quinnipiac, and #8 North Dakota) and a win against ranked Cornell (#17) along with ties vs Dartmouth and Quinnipiac.  The last time scored 2 SHORTHANDED GOALS in a game was November 23, 2024 in 4-0 win vs Yale (Dahm, Sukovic) and last Friday was the first shutout on the road since Feb. 4, 2022 at Brown in 5-0 win, where Jacob Mucitelli made 18 saves.

All games this weekend will be aired on ESPN+, the home of ECAC Hockey.  The games can also be heard on B99.3 FM.
