Friday Factoid: Dartmouth-Tuck Embraces the Cold
November 27th, 2009
The thought of spending the winters in Hanover, New Hampshire, home of Dartmouth–Tuck, may send shivers down your spine. But, those who tough it out and embrace the cold can discover some rewarding winter experiences, like ice hockey and downhill skiing. From beginners to seasoned veterans, 150 students participate in ice hockey games organized by the Tuck Hockey Club each year. Never played? Not to worry, teams are organized by skill level, so you can find a team of hockey players who won’t care if you trip over the blueline (that is ice hockey lingo – you will learn!) Meanwhile, the Dartmouth Ski and Boarding Club takes advantage of the Dartmouth Skiway in Lyme, New Hampshire and also organizes trips beyond campus. The clubs major event is the 300 person Tuck Winter Carnival at the Skiway each year, which brings students together from all top schools to compete for the Kneissl Cup. At Tuck, you just might be too busy working up a sweat to fret about the cold.
