"We have to feel each other out." Martins says. "We worked rather well [against New Brunswick], although our passing was a little bit off."
The Schedule
Tonight's contest against Brown marks the first of three straight games on the road for Harvard. The team doesn't come home until the night before the Harvard-Yale football game. When it will entertain Cornell (November 18).
From that point through December 7, the team will play seven consecutive games at home, including non conference tilts against top-ranked Boston University and fellow Hockey East member New Hampshire.
The Ivy league has allowed its hockey teams to play an extra two games this season, and the Crimson will head to Alaska-Fairbanks for two games just before Christmas.
The second half of the season sees a Russian touring team come to town on January 2 for an exhibition game, while Harvard will have a chance to avenge last year's overtime loss in the Beanpot final to Boston College when the two face off in this year's Beanpot opener (February 6).
Then comes the stretch run into the beginning of March, with the ECAC Tournament starting March 10. If everything works according to plan, Harvard could play for the national championship on April 1 in Providence.
However, one shouldn't jump too far ahead for now, as the team has to gel before any postseason talk can come about.
"We've got to keep building, keep working hard and hopefully everything will work out," Lonsinger says.
And if everything does work out. April Fools' Day in Rhode Island will certainly be a great day for Harvard hockey.
