The New Hampshire Wildcats easily eliminated Denver in opening round action of the NCAA tournament tonight by a final score of 5-2.  The game started out all Denver, as they scored two minutes into the game to go up 1-0.  New Hampshire came back three minutes later when Casey Thrush scored a goal to tie…

Wisconsin, the WCHA Conference Tournament Champion, was completely crushed by UMass-Lowell today in first-round action of the NCAA Tournament.  Wisconin had just come off of a hot weekend in which they defeated WCHA Conference Regular Season Champion St. Cloud State, as well as Mankato and Colorado College.  This might have some people, again, wondering about…

With only two weeks to go, the top twelve teams are solidifying — which teams on the fringe are going to come through, and which teams will fall out?  We are right around the corner from the conference tournaments and the NCAA Tournament.   Who is going to be in Pittsburgh for the Frozen Four…

Last weekend was very eventful as top ranked teams took losses, and an extremely long unbeaten streak came to an end.  With three weekends remaining in the regular season, the pressure is mounting on the teams that have been sliding down in the second half of the season, and it’s also on the teams that…
