The Red Road

But, besides all the difficulties Harvard had against the Green, a more important obstacle lies ahead for the Crimson this weekend when it travels to upstate New York. The icemen will face Cornell and Colgate, two teams looking to take the ECAC crown from Cambridge.

"This weekend is a real test for us," Ciavaglia said.
