Finally Princeton University announced their schedule for the women's hockey season. I'd seen the schedule on the ECAC site, but wanted to wait until it was official. Here it is:

* Conference Games

The out-of-conference schedule isn't too bad. Syracuse from the CHA is out, while Niagara and Robert Morris are in. I've never seen either of those teams--Princeton hasn't played Niagara in ten years and has never played Robert Morris. The Ohio State series has picked up again. They are the WCHA team closest to Princeton, but I know the girls dread that bus trip.

The conference schedule looks to be reasonable. Union and RPI are a good start. No team is a walkover, but Princeton has never lost to Union.

It's very hard to know what teams will be good this year, at least from my limited vantage point. Cornell, the defending ECAC champs, figure to be dominant once again this year, with Harvard and Dartmouth also perennial powers.

Only about seven weeks until the first puck drops!
