Some great games last weekend!  #1 Minnesota-Duluth swept Western Michigan.  Friday night Western Michigan scored first in the first, and UMD came back with one in the second, but it was all UMD in the third with three goals to prevail 4-1.  Saturday night was almost the same game, with each team scoring one in…

The St. Lawrence Saints tied #7 Merrimack in a blazing 6-6 game last weekend.  Merrimack went on to beat Holy Cross, and to hold on the the #7 ranking.  Elsewhere, I can briefly report on the “Lefse/Kringle” game between #5 Notre Dame and #10 Boston University.  Bust!  Boston University looked like they were trying to…

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,…

Last weekend gave us a handful or so of top matchups, and of them, right off the bat, last week’s #5 Boston College took on last week’s #8 Yale, and BC came out on top, elevating BC to #2 in the poll, and dropping Yale to #14.  Minnesota came out on the lesser end of a…

Last week there were a few featured matchups, but let’s start with some big news — Merrimack came out this week ranked #1 in the country!  As for those top matchups, first of all, last week’s #4 Notre Dame beat last week’s #3 Boston College, with Notre Dame rising to #2 in the rankings, and…

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…
