To me this is a "throwback" video because I was not at Union and neither were any of the current Dutchmen. In this video you get to see some of our favorite past Dutchmen like T.J. Fox, Justin Mrazek, and Lane Caffaro.
This is footage from overtime when Union hosted #10 Clarkson on January 20, 2007. The Golden Knights held the nation's longest unbeaten streak at the time, while the Dutchmen were en route to a last place finish in the ECAC standings. For the game recap click here.
The 2006-2007 was an awful season for Union as they finished in dead last in the ECAC standings with a 7-14-1 record... but look at Union College hockey now!
P.S. Look for a young "UnionHockeyManiac" (aka Will Friedman) at the 2:23 mark.
That is truly of my earliest and best memories of Union College Hockey. That actually may have been the game that got me hooked and made me realized how lucky we were to have a D1 sport at such a small school. Even though the team was not great back then, you could still see the excitement after beating #7 Clarkson in OT. Back then, Clarkson had a target on their backs because they were considered one of the best teams in the country while Union was always looked at as a pushover. A lot can change in 5 years.
