Finally, after almost two months of unbalanced scheduling caused by various
teams going on break at different times, the ECAC is almost evened out and
ready for the February dash to the finish.  All the teams have ten league
games left to play, except for Harvard and Yale, which have nine.  Thanks in
part to Harvard and Brown being away from league action for most of January,
the league standings have tightened up, with RPI, Colgate, and even Clarkson
getting within shouting distance of the top.
