A 60-Year Wait

Carleton (Ontario) University picked up its first win over Clarkson since the 1948-49 season with a 5-3 win in an exhibition contest at Cheel Arena Saturday night.
The Golden Knights sat out six regulars and three players saw their first action of the season, including freshman goalie Richie LaVeau.

Here are some bonus quotes from Saturday's game:

Former Clarkson interim coach Fred Parker on his return:
"I was talking with people before the game and that (season) is so far gone. George is a great guy and they are doing a great job here."
On playing more exhibitions against Clarkson in future:
"I'd like to. Ottawa and Clarkson have a great connection."

Carleton's Justin Caruana, who scored twice, on the difference in Saturday's game with Canadian College hockey:
"It's a bit different. The Americans have less clutching and grabbing than in Canadian hockey."
On winning for Parker, "We knew it was big coming back here for him. In the back of our mind we wanted to get a win for him and make him feel good."

Clarkson coach George Roll on how practice impacted Saturday's game:
"We had a bad week of practice and this is the result of that. We just didn't have a crisp week and it showed tonight."
On freshman Jake Morley, "I thought he played strong along the wall and really controlled the play."

Morley on playing on a line with fellow freshmen Julien Cayer and Nick Tremblay:
"We played pretty hard. I played with Cayer (at Northwood Prep) so it was nice playing along with him."

INJURY UPDATE
Phil Paquet said he could be back as soon as three weeks and Shea Guthrie said he expects to play next weekend when Clarkson opens the ECAC Hockey portion of its schedule...

More from Guthrie:
"I'm excited. It's been a long month or so. It's definitely tough. You come in and want to have a good start to the season."
On coming back for first ECAC Hockey games, "It makes it a worthwhile game for me to come back. (Colorado College) wasn't a league game and tonight was only an exhibition."
