As soon as the game and places are announced, you might want to
check with the Clarkson Alumni Office or the local Alumni Chapter
organizer.

It started about 3 years ago with a broadcast of the Cornell@Clarkson
game.  The following year it was St. Lawrence.  I have the feeling the
alumni office tries to organize around games that were big draws at
Clarkson when the alumni were there. For example, we had people
literally hanging from the rafters at Walker when RPI came to town
my Freshman and Sophomore years.  I haven't seen Clarkson's schedule
yet, but I bet they schedule against Cornell or SLU again.  My guess
would be SLU...based on Cornell's performance last year.
 
These are just guesses...when I go up for reunion in a couple weeks I
will invariably run into people I know in the alumni office...I'll see
if I can get a scoop for hockey-l. :)
