  For the most part, the top ranked teams did what they were supposed to do, but there were a couple of real squeakers along the way.  With so many games that took place, I’ll just give the scores/outcomes of the conference championship games . . . Atlantic Hockey:  Air Force beat Holy Cross 3-2,…

Three upsets highlighted the first round of the Hockey East and WCHA tournaments, and the second round of the ECAC tournament.  Last week’s #4 Union lost two of three to Colgate, dropping Union to #9, and last week’s #12 Nebraska-Omaha was swept by Bemidji State, dropping UNO to #14; both teams will probably make it…

The top story this week would have to be the sweep by #2 Boston College of last week’s #7 New Hampshire; it was a real show of strength by BC to end the regular season, shutting out UNH 4-0 in the first game, and winning the Hockey East regular season crown along the way.  BC…

  Last weekend was another eventful one.  Right off the bat, last week’s #4 Merrimack ran into a buzz-saw called Maine, and was swept violently at the hands of the Black Bears; Maine scored eleven goals in two games, and surrendered only one.  Merrimack dropped to #9, and Maine rose from #16 to #14.  Elsewhere,…

Last weekend was another wild one, and there is lots of big news.  Let’s start with last week’s #1, Boston College; they played Northeastern three times last week:  they won 7-6 in OT to win the Beanpot; they tied 7-7 last Friday night, and Northeastern tried, tried again, and prevailed over BC 2-1 on Saturday,…

What a wild weekend last weekend was!  Lots of teams in the 5-15 rankings slots moved all over the place in the polls.  The biggest news?  Hard to say, but let’s just start off with the St. Lawrence Saints who beat  the #2 ranked team for the second time this year.  The first time it…

I suppose the big news from last weekend would be that Denver split with Colorado College, and that Michigan was swept by Miami-Ohio.  Denver dropped in the rankings from #2 to #4, and CC moved up one from #20 to #19 on the split.  Michigan took a big tumble from #8 down to #13 after…

It’s big news when the #1 team gets beat; it’s bigger news when they lose twice.  Yale was taken down last weekend by Union and RPI, with RPI pounding Yale.  As a result, Yale dropped from #1 to #3, and the wins lifted RPI to #9 from #10, and Union to #11 from #13.  Meanwhile, a…

All top ten teams swept their weekends, except those with names starting with the letter “N.”  Remaining at #1, Yale found itself tied early in the third with Clarkson and midway in the second with St. Lawrence, but prevailed over both.  New at #2, up from #3, BC beat Boston University and UMass-Lowell.  As a…
