Game Notes:
  • Quinnipiac is sporting gold jerseys, while Union wears the alternate black. 
  • Confusion on the right side of the bench? The Bobcats have three defenseman dressed tonight all named Zach(k). What would make this better if they were named Zac, Zach, and Zack. 
  • Confused yet? The Bobcats also have twin brothers. On the same line, Connor and Kellen Jones. Their line starts tonight.
  • Kellen is a draft pick of the Edmonton Oilers. Matthew Peca is a pick of the Tampa Bay Lightning.
  • As is custom, the Dutchmen will dress all their seniors tonight. Let's see if any can "pull a Jeff Christiansen."
  • The Dutchmen start the Hatch-Zajac-Simpson line, with Mat Bodie and Shawn Stuart on the blueline.
  • Troy Grosenick, coming off of an injury, is starting his second consecutive game.
  • The game will be broadcast locally on Time Warner Sports, Channel 3.
