It's finally time for Colorado College to hit the road.
Four home appearances and their inaugural National Collegiate Hockey Conference series behind them, the Tigers take a break from league play this week when they travel to Potsdam, N.Y., for a pair of games against Clarkson University of the ECAC.
Faceoff at Cheel Arena (3,000 seating capacity) at the Cheel Campus Center is 7 p.m. ET (5 p.m. MT) Friday and Saturday.
While CC takes a 1-1-0 league and overall mark to Potsdam after last week's season-opening split at home with the University of Minnesota Duluth, the Golden Knights already have played six non-conference games and are 4-1-1 overall. They defeated RIT of the Atlantic Hockey Association, 4-1, in their home opener last Friday before skating to a 3-3 tie with the same team a night later.
Clarkson's only loss (4-1) so far came against 13th-ranked University of New Hampshire at the annual IceBreaker tournament in Minneapolis.
Colorado College is unbeaten, at 11-0-3, in 14 all-time meetings with the Golden Knights dating back to March 14, 1957, when CC advanced to the national championship game by prevailing by a score of 5-3 in the NCAA semifinals at the old Broadmoor Ice Palace. The Tigers, who recorded a pair of 5-4 victories over Clarkson at the World Arena a year ago, last visited Cheel Arena in October 2008, and came away with a pair of ties (1-1, 2-2). They won (3-2) and tied (4-4) there five years earlier, in October 2003.
