The Knights beat the Bears, 6-2

The 2022–23 Clarkson Golden Knights Men's ice hockey season was the 101st season of play for the program and 62nd in ECAC Hockey. The Golden Knights represented Clarkson University in the 2022–23 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season, were coached by Casey Jones in his 12th season, and played their home games at Cheel Arena.

Season

After missing out on the NCAA tournament for two consecutive seasons, Jones replaced all three of his assistants going into the season. There were still high expectations for a team that narrowly missed out on the NCAA tournament in each pf the previous 2 seasons, however, Clarkson got off to a terrible start. Clarkson began the year 2–6, which was made worse when their competition was taken into consideration. The Knights lost to New Hampshire, Mercyhurst and Lake Superior State, three of the worst teams in college hockey that season. The defeats sent Clarkson plummeting towards the bottom of the rankings and the team was never able to completely recover after that. After the dreadful start, the Knights were able to put together a 5-game winning streak but inconsistency on both offense and defense helped Clarkson to finish out the first half of the season with a losing record.

The Knights opened the second half of their season by winning the Holiday Face–Off but that was about as good as it got for the club. Clarkson played up and down in the back half of the season and ended the year with a .500 record. They were able to overcome a sagging Brown team in the first round to set up a meet with Cornell in the quarterfinals. Despite their struggles, Clarkson had managed to defeat the Big Red in both regular season games, providing a glimmer of hope for the team. However, Cornell exacted their revenge by sweeping the series and ending a very disappointing season for the Knights.
