    North Dakota Green And Pink?

    College Hockey Update:  Last weekend gave us seven of the top twenty teams playing in six top-twenty matchup games, and the big, big news here would have to be that Boston College suffered a tie — they didn’t win both games over the weekend, can you believe it?  Let’s put this in perspective — you remember…

    Know Anything About Notre Dame?

    College Hockey Update:  Last weekend was another that provided five top-fifteen matchups, and two teams made the best of it as Boston College swept Vermont (BC held onto the #1 ranking, and Vermont was bumped out of the top fifteen to #16), and Minnesota swept Michigan, with Minnesota retaining the #2 ranking, and Michigan retaining…

    What’s A Catamount?

    College Hockey Update:  Last weekend ten of the top fifteen teams were involved in top-fifteen matchups (by last week’s rankings), and perhaps none was more eventful than Minnesota’s disastrous two-loss trip to Wisconsin; Minnesota dropped down to #2, and the sweep propelled Wisconsin up four pegs to #8.  Boston College beat Merrimack, helping to lift BC to…

    Cornell Big Red, Or Ezras?

    College Hockey Update:  Last weekend showcased four top-fifteen matchups, and the higher ranked team won in every case, except one — and that would be when Wisconsin travelled to Michigan for two games, and Michigan came out of it with a tie and a win, elevating Michigan a couple of spots to the #10 ranking,…

    What And Where is Northeastern?

    College Hockey Update:  Last weekend provided a couple of great top-twelve matchups.  In the opening round of the Northstar College Cup, it was all Minnesota as they prevailed by a 4-1 margin over St. Cloud State.  Minnesota scored one on an empty net and penalties proved very costly for St. Cloud State — even though…

    Wisconsin Badgers or Miners?

    College Hockey Update:  Last weekend only three of the top twelve teams came out with sweeps, and two of the remaining teams had a pretty rough weekend.  Minnesota retained the #1 ranking with its sweep of Ohio State, and received all votes for the #1 ranking.  Boston College moved up a couple of slots on…

    And For That Matter, Clarkson?

    College Hockey Update:  This is the report from the weekend of Jan. 3-5, and is it a great one — talk about stuff to write about, how about Colgate going to downtown Midwest Hockey and promptly playing #1 Minnesota to a regulation tie, then beating them in a shootout, followed up quickly by them additionally…

  • What & Where Is Union College?

    What & Where Is Union College?

    College Hockey Update:  This is not the report from last weekend (Jan. 3-5), it is the report from the prior weekend (Dec. 28-30), and did a lot go on that weekend, perhaps most notably, #3 Michigan dropping two games to two unranked teams!  Admittedly the losses were to two in-state rivals, Michigan State, and Western…

    What Makes BC Keep On Ticking?

    College Hockey Update:  Last weekend one single game was played in all of DI College Hockey, as #5 Providence College travelled to West Point, NY, to play Army, and as should have been the case, this was not too much of a contest; but the surprise was how the game started.  Army managed to keep…
