Men’s Ice Hockey:

In Hamilton’s first Make-A-Wish Charity game, the men’s hockey team won their seventh straight victory in a 4–3 battle against Amherst College, thanks in large part to Luke Tchor’s ’27 four-point night including a hat trick and an assist, his first hat trick at Hamilton. This outstanding effort led to Tchor being named the NESCAC Men’s Hockey Player of the Week. Taking a 1–0 lead with just over six minutes left in the first period, Hamilton never trailed throughout the rest of the game. With two more goals scored later by Tchor and one by Devon de Vries ’27, Amherst was unable to overcome Hamilton’s offense despite scoring three goals of their own and having a chance to tie the game in the final minutes.
