Well ok, we had no games played last weekend; things got rolling again last night with top fifteen teams in eight games, and five ended in upsets.  Let’s start with the Great Lakes Invitational — #14 Michigan State took the early game over Michigan Tech 3-1, leading throughout.  In the late game, #3 Boston College…

While last weekend was light on college hockey action, there was the marquee matchup of #11 Union travelling to play #5 Merrimack.  This was a tough defensive game, especially by Union, throughout.  With about six minutes remaining in the first, Merrimack found itself double-shorthanded, and surrendered a goal that Union’s Daniel Carr made off of a…

Boston University Hockey was hit with a bomb as it has permanently dismissed its leading scorer, Corey Trivino, of Toronto, because of sexual assault charges, while under the influence of alcohol, filed against him Sunday night of this week.  Because of two previous alcohol-related behavioral problems, Coach Jack Parker had placed Trivino on notice at…

Last weekend was a wild one, with Providence sweeping Merrimack, and knocking them down from #1 to #5 in the rankings, and introducing Providence to the top twenty at #20.  Merrimack also beat Vermont Wednesday night, after the poll came out.  In addition the weekend saw the continued surge of Minnesota-Duluth, as they swept Michigan Tech,…

For the second weekend in a row we had a deluge of top twenty matchups, so again, let’s focus on a couple of scorchers.  First off, last week’s #6 Merrimack played last week’s #16 Boston University — the game ended tied in regulation, and Merrimack scored quickly in OT to take the win, which leap-frogged Merrimack…

Last week’s heralded matchups, were all in the CCHA, but before we get into them, perhaps the biggest news would be that Michigan Tech delivered a loss and a tie to last week’s #2 Denver.  The loss was rather dramatic as Michigan Tech prevailed 7-2, and the result of the weekend was that Denver dropped…

Last weekend saw a good number of upsets and a lot of musical chairs in the top ten ranked teams.  I also received a couple of requests to expand the coverage beyond the top twelve, so I’ll give it a go; normally I do this later in the season, and only for a while. Let’s…
