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…

Wow!  There are four weekends remaining in the regular season, and the top ranked teams are, as I suspected six weeks ago they would be, looking a lot different than they were on January 1st.  Who do you think will be in the Frozen Four this year, given the directions teams have been going these…

For some teams the second half of this hockey season is shaping up to be a dream-come-true; for others, the nightmare continues. Let’s start with the marquee matchups from last week.  #2 Quinnipiac beat #10 Yale Saturday night, after settling on a tie with Brown Friday night; Yale had beaten Princeton Friday night.  So the…

Your team might be holding its own, but the story right now continues to be the surprising slide of a few highly-ranked teams, and the strong performance of a handful of teams in the lower ranks of the poll. Let’s start off with the top matchups from last week, and then we’ll get into this story…

It seems in most seasons that there is a lot of settling down by now – the top ranked teams move on, with an exception or two, and the lower ranked teams don’t have too much of a chance of climbing up.  But this doesn’t look like most seasons.   In fact, for some teams this…

First of all, this post is old news — it will report on games that were played between January 8, 2013, and January 13, 2013.  Also, the rankings table listed below will be old news as of the time of this post, and will report the January 14, 2013 poll.   Now that that is out…

That’s right, Notre Dame freshman left wing sensation Mario Lucia, son of Minnesota Golden Gophers’ coach Don Lucia, has been named CCHA rookie of the month after scoring four goals and four assists in five games during December, and has just returned from his gold-medal winning performance as a member of the US World Junior…

Ok, this is old news because I didn’t post last week, but the weekend of Saturday, December 29th and Sunday, December 30th, had some bigtime game performances, including Minnesota’s 8-1 shelling of Boston College.  I suppose I don’t need to say much more with that type of score, but I will — the lone Boston College score…

Simply enough, a Native American, or, an American Indian.  That’s what a Quinnipiac is.  Since Quinnipiac is ranked #9 in the country, and it is pretty easy to get sort of absorbed by news and views of the schools that are the perennial powerhouses, today we’ll take a look at Quinnipiac.  It’s Christmas and New Year’s…

Last weekend’s schedule was light but presented some great games, starting with North Dakota’s very convincing sweep of Michigan Tech, elevating the Sioux to the #7 ranking; this was North Dakota’s first sweep of this season.  Making a space for North Dakota’s ascent in the rankings, #8 Western Michigan split with Michigan, so the Sioux…
