Heck of a run for
@ColgateMIH
. No result tonight is going to take away what was accomplished overall this season and last wkd in Lake Placid with an ECAC title. Those memories made are going to last a lifetime and something those of us that follow the program will never forget.
Well, that's a wrap for me this season. Thank you so much
@ColgateMIH
for having me back. A little at a loss for words in how to sum up how much calling games again meant to me. Thank you
@ColgateAthletic
@nickimoore
@DonVaughan12
and everyone else that made this year possible
On a night when
@ColgateMIH
won the ECAC championship…
Bobby McMann was recalled by the Maple Leafs and played on HNIC against the Senators.
Chris Wagner scored in a 4-2 win for AHL Providence.
Josh McKechney scored 2x for ECHL Greenville in a 4-1 win.
It's hard to sum up 16 years of
@ColgateMIH
and
@DonVaughan12
memories into one or two tweets.
As a broadcaster, I couldn't have asked for a better coach to work with. So affable and generous with his time.
Thank you Donnie for everything. Good luck in your retirement.
Love you
@ColgateMIH
Class of '24. You guys were a joy to watch. Memories made over the last four years including an ECAC championship and two trips to Lake Placid will be remembered forever.
Thank you fans so much for watching.

Hats off to first-year
@ColgateMIH
head coach Mike Harder and his staff. Yes, Colgate returned 20 players from an ECAC Championship team but returning players doesn't always equal success.
The Colgate men will host an ECAC QF series for the first time at the '65 in 2024.
This coming weekend I’ll be filling in on

for two games as
@ColgateMIH
travels to Columbus to face

@OhioStateMHKY
. Games are Friday 7PM, Saturday 4PM from Value City Arena.
Here it is, first career NHL goal for Bobby McMann on Hockey Night in Canada against the Penguins.
@ColgateMIH
I may have startled the neighbors when this happened.
Pretty big day for
@ColgateAthletic
today.
4pm -
@ColgateMIH
faces Quinnipiac in the ECAC semifinals in Lake Placid. ESPN+ streaming
950pm (or later) -
@ColgateMBB
takes on Wisconsin in the round of 64 in the NCAA tournament in Milwaukee. Game is scheduled for TBS
Great to see
@ColgateMIH
out supporting
@ColgateMBB
tonight. Levi Glasman and Nick Anderson look like they’re out of the Village People with the hard hats, sunglasses and construction vests.
A little surprised ESPN has zero intermission show or content for a national semifinal game between two of the top four teams in the nation. More than enough analysts and hosts in the women’s game they could’ve at least had something.
@NicoleHaase
There it is,
@ColgateMIH
off to Allentown to meet
@umichhockey
for the first time since the 2000 Icebreaker at Yost Ice Arena. It's also a re-match from the 2000 NCAA Regionals in Albany, N.Y.
Time to get revenge for Mike O'Malley.
LRT - Very thankful to be in Columbus this weekend. It’s the giving season and so I’m in a giving mood.
For every goal
@ColgateMIH
scores this weekend, I’m going to make a donation to charity.
Give me your favorite charities and I’ll pick one out.
Bobby McMann
@ColgateMIH
'20 scored 2x for
@MapleLeafs
last night. McMann's 13 goals this season are the most for any Raider in the NHL in a single year since Andy McDonald '00 scored 20 for the Blues in 2010-11. McDonald won a Cup with the Ducks in 2007 and had 4 20-goal years.
Last Friday, Ross Mitton became the first player in the 90+ year history of Colgate hockey to score 3 overtime GWG in a single season. Mitton has OT winners against Princeton, SLU and Quinnipiac. Mitton has career highs in G-Asst-Pts-P/M.
The

So.... some personal news.
After 12 terrific seasons of calling
@ColgateMIH
games on the radio, I’d like you all to know that I will not be returning for a 13th season. Unfortunately sometimes life has a way of intervening in even the best laid plans.
It’s
@ColgateMIH
vs
@ColgateMIH
tonight in the Stanley Cup playoffs as the
@Avalanche
and Chris Wagner meet Steve Spott’s
@DallasStars
in the first game of a second round series. It can be seen on ESPN at 9:30.
There are 23 days until
@ColgateMIH
hockey lifts the lid on the 21-22 season. Ten years ago, current
@NHLBruins
forward Chris Wagner amassed 51 points in 38 games helping Colgate to a top 4 finish. He was part of two ECAC Championship weekend teams.
Closing out stuff from the weekend. Note for
@SkatingSaints
fans. Ben Kraws entered the weekend vs Colgate 2-1-1 with a 3.23 GAA and .875 save percentage (2 GM SLU, 2 ASU, 1 MIA - which I didn't realize until now). This weekend, he stopped 88 of 92 shots (.957 save percentage).
Still researching rosters but
@SkatingSaints
captain Luc Salem has to be on
@ecachockey
All Head Shot team. Solid muzzy, matching coat and tie, pocket square matches the dress shirt.
And lastly, a huge thank you goes out to all of the listeners whether you’ve been fans, family, former players, parents, etc. I know I said it a lot over the last couple of seasons but I very much appreciate all of you.
And to my Colgate hockey family, I love all you guys.

@ColgateMIH
Friday fast facts for tonight…
Ross Mitton is 2-2-4 +4 with 5 blocks in his last 3 games. This includes goals on the power play and short-handed.
Mitton has had a hand in Colgate’s last 3 goals scored.

First time since the return to Lake Placid that Colgate will be in the early semifinal.
Anyone remember what happened the last time the Raiders and Bobcats met in the Adirondacks?
Congratulations to Arnaud Vachon
@ColgateMIH
'23 on making his pro debut last night. Vachon, wearing

Rental car gassed up and returned. 10:30 PM coffee worn off. Another hockey weekend in the books. Glad to be home. Ready to do it all again next weekend. Hope y’all enjoyed the broadcasts

Two months from today,
@ColgateMIH
opens the 2021-22 regular season at RIT.
The coming campaign will be Colgate’s 92nd season of men’s varsity ice hockey. In addition, it will mark 65 straight years of competition going back to the pre-Starr Rink late 1950s.
Not going to RT the clip that was part of the Alaska-Arizona State fracas. I’ve seen it on my timeline enough.
Fighting absolutely should not be allowed in college hockey, full stop.
Colgate pep band has made its way into the opposite corner of the RPI band in the end of the rink opposite Sullivan Suite. Maroon road sweaters for the Colgate band, RPI band with tri-colored collared shirts. Nickleback overwhelming both bands now.
With last night’s OT game-winning goal, Colton Young became the seventh player in
@ColgateMIH
history with three career OT winners.
Jon Smyth holds the school record with four. Colton also has two OT GWG this season as does Ross Mitton.
Teammates for two seasons (1993-94, 1994-95);

Hope y’all enjoyed listening. Let’s do it again tomorrow, deal?
