February 2, 1990 - Men's Hockey @ Brown

Men's hockey one night stand to Yale (Won 9-7). The Saturday after the Brown game, this trip was made possible with the support of the Hartford Chapter of the Rensselaer Alumni Association.
February 16-17, 1990 - Men's Hockey @ Dartmouth & Harvard
Men's hockey overnight to Dartmouth (Won 7-4) and Harvard (Lost 3-7). There is nothing in Hanover, and some members got car sick because of the hilly trip there.
