In an impressive display over the weekend, the Union Dutchmen earned their spot as the College Hockey News Team of the Week following a pair of victories against the Harvard Crimson and Dartmouth Big Green. The Dutchmen showcased their offensive depth, with contributions from key players such as graduate student forward Taylor Hulett, who demonstrated exceptional skill and determination on the ice. His ability to find the back of the net and create scoring chances was pivotal in both games, solidifying his role as a leader on the team.
Union's strong defensive play was another highlight, aided by solid performances from their blue-liners, who stifled Harvard and Dartmouth's attacks. Notably, senior defenseman Matt Allen played a crucial role, not only in thwarting opposing rushes but also in transitioning the puck effectively to spark Union’s own offensive efforts. The Dutchmen's special teams also shone brightly, as they successfully capitalized on power-play opportunities, displaying poise and precision in their execution.
As the season progresses, Union looks to build on this momentum and strengthen their standing in the ECAC Hockey conference. The chemistry among the players, especially between Hulett and the rest of the forward line, suggests great potential as they aim for a deep postseason run. The team's cohesive play and commitment to both ends of the rink have made them a formidable opponent and a squad to watch moving forward.
