Army's 4-0 start in Atlantic Hockey is real, and Cataldo is why

ECAC Hockey is the conference where the Ivy League plays, and it has a habit of producing teams nobody saw coming. Quinnipiac and Cornell set the standard, Clarkson and St. Lawrence carry decades of history, and Union''s 2014 title remains the best underdog story in modern college hockey. The Ivy schools do not start until late November, which makes the second half of the ECAC season a different league than the first.
