Icemen Are One Step Away From Top

The Hockey Notebook

With Ciavaglia at the point and Weisbrod at the left circle, Carone cut down the middle of the zone, anticipating a Weisbrod pass.

Ciavaglia passed the puck to Weisbrod, who saw the cutting Carone. Weisbrod's pass traveled to the front of the net, and all Carone had to do was tip it in for the goal.

Air Crimson: The team takes off Friday for Finland and Sweden, where it will meet four Scandinavian teams in exhibition games. The last time Harvard went abroad was in 1983, when the Crimson traveled to Czechoslovakia.

The exposure to the international style of play--faster games more oriented to sharp skating skills--should prove challenging for Harvard, which has dominated its American opponents with its speed and passing ability.

"I should be good competition to play teams that rival our skating skills," junior Tod Hartje said. "We'll have to be sharper and quicker."

The Crimson returns to Cambridge on December 23, and will be on break until its home weekend against RPI and Vermont, January 6 and 7, respectively.

Lose, Then Cruise: Barely beating UNH last Saturday apparently taught the Crimson some humility--and made the team more prepared for last Monday's contest.

"We played terrible against UNH," MacDonald said after the Dartmouth game. "It wasn't a good effort at all for us. So we were ready tonight."

Carone added, "Everyone didn't know what to expect from New Hampshire. Rumors came down the pike that they weren't very good. We weren't there mentally. Tonight we were there mentally, and that's why we came out like we did." Harvard Hockey 11-0 Overall, 9-0 ECAC, 7-0 Ivy
