HAMILTON, N.Y. - The Colgate men's ice hockey team will officially return to action prior to the turning of the calendar year.

The Raiders announced the addition of three non-conference games to its schedule for the month of December, Tuesday.

All three games will involve in-state opponents to reduce travel. The new additions are as follows:

Dec. 23: at Clarkson, 4 p.m.
Dec. 27: at Holy Cross, 4 p.m.
Dec. 29: vs. RIT, 4 p.m.

All games will be closed to the public due to coronavirus restrictions, but can be streamed live online.

Thus far, the Colgate has only played one game, against Clarkson on Nov. 22, a 2-1 loss.

Both the previous match-up and upcoming addition against the Golden Knights are non-conference. The two will square off six times in ECAC play during the 2021 portion of the schedule.

Colgate begins an 18-game ECAC schedule, against Clarkson, on Jan. 1.
