2022–23 St. Lawrence Saints men's ice hockey season
The 2022–23 St. Lawrence Saints Men's ice hockey season was the 83rd season of play for the program and the 62nd in the ECAC Hockey conference. The Saints represented St. Lawrence University and were coached by Brent Brekke, in his fourth season. Season
Backstopped by Emil Zetterquist for a third season as the team's starting goaltender, the Saints began the season playing up and down hockey. St. Lawrence went 3–4 in October, however, they didn't have a single 1-goal game in any of those matches. The team stopped that wild inconsistency come November, however, they found wins harder to come by and posted a 4-game losing streak. The offense, which had been bad in 2022, was only marginally better in '23. The team's scoring did increase as the season went along but would still end up averaging less than two and a half goals per game. Due to expected heavy snowfall in the Buffalo area, the game against Niagara was moved from November 19 to January 5. After matching the losing skid with a 4-game winning streak, St. Lawrence entered the winter break as a .500 team but, with ECAC Hockey in a 3-team race, there was room for the Larries to earn the last bye into the conference quarterfinals. As they were rounding out their non-conference slate, the Saints finally found someone who could lead the offense. Surprisingly, it was junior defenseman Luc Salem. After scoring 8 points in the first 18 games, Salem took off in the second half and recorded 18 points in the final 12 games to end the regular season. The added offense was needed as it allowed the Larries to catch and pass a fading Colgate towards the end of the year. At the end, St. Lawrence finished 1 point ahead of Colgate and earned a home site for the quarterfinals. As they entered the postseason, St. Lawrence was sitting in a good position; The team was 11–5 at home and would play host to the Raiders, who had won just 3 of their previous 11 games. The Larries got off to a tremendous start by scoring 3 goals in the first and looked primed to take a 1-game lead. The team fired 17 shots on goal in the second, looking to increase their advantage, unfortunately, Carter Gylander stopped everything in the middle frame and enabled Colgate to close the gap with a pair of markers. The surging Raiders erased the Saints 3–0 advantage midway through the third and then scored in overtime to take the first game. Perhaps still feeling the effects of the previous game, St. Lawrence was slow to start in the rematch and surrendered the first three markers. After falling behind, the Larries charged back, outshooting Colgate 27–6 over the final two periods. However, despite their efforts, the Saints could only manage to score twice and were swept out of the playoffs. Departures
