It is the fifth consecutive year that the Elmira College women’s ice hockey team will open its season in Northfield, VT at the East-West Classic. The East-West Classic has become the premier season-opening tournament in the country. The East-West Classic pits the top two teams from the ECAC East and ECAC West divisions against each other and this year, three of the four schools represented are ranked in the top 10 of the USCHO Poll.
A Precursor to Greatness
The East-West Classic has become a launching point for national championship runs as the last four national champions have begun their season in Northfield, VT. Norwich, the East-West Classic host, started the stretch in 2011, followed by RIT, Elmira, and most recently, Plattsburgh State.
Season Opener
Dating back to their first collegiate season, Elmira has gone 9-2-2 in season opening games. Elmira has tied their opponents in the last two season openers and have not had a season opening win since the 2010-11 season. The 2010-11 season opening win came against New England College, Elmira’s first year playing in the East-West Classic.
100-Points on the Horizon
Ashley Ryan ’15 enters this weekend with 97 career points on 42 goals and 55 assists. Three points for Ryan would make her the ninth 100-point scorer in Elmira College women’s ice hockey history. The last Elmira College 100-point scorer was Tanis Lamoureux ’14 who scored career 100 on February 15, 2014 in a 6-0 win over SUNY Cortland.
