Congrats, but is there a story behind a connection between the BHH and Umass? That banner is like 95 miles from the campus.
I'm hoping to get back to Matthews this year. I saw that RPI is not allowing non-students to attend this year, and I doubt they'll be the only one go to that way before the season starts.Jerry Keefe finally gets his chance. Promoted to Northeastern head coach, with Madigan being named AD. An outstanding move imo that better fits each of their strengths. Rumors that Paul Pearl may fill the associate head coach vacancy too.
Geez, I should check this thread more often. I was with Jerry at Matignon in high school, and then after he got through a couple years of USHL, he came to Providence and was there for 4 years (we only overlapped for 2 even though we were the same age, due to the years in Omaha). Hopefully, he succeeds at Northeastern.Jerry Keefe finally gets his chance. Promoted to Northeastern head coach, with Madigan being named AD.

He's also been an assistant coach for the US world junior team and the recuriting/talent pipeline at NU is as strong as it's ever been. I think it's fair to say he will find success at NU.Geez, I should check this thread more often.

Well that was anticlimactic. Ends on a reviewed goal that just sneaks inThis game has been a blast to watch. Both goalies standing on their head and done in by bad turnovers and a snipe by Western Michigan
Come on Huskies close it out
#9 Notre Dame beat #8 North DakotaSo all eight favorites advancd to the second round?
Its called the Rand Pecknold special and he has done it many times. This was one where he shouldn’t have done it as Michigan was starting to come apart at the seams. I’m a Quinnipiac alum and this loss is eating me up but you don’t spot a team like Michigan a 4-0 lead and expect to win.I don’t understand pulling a goalie down 1 with more than 3 minutes left. Especially in the college game where the defense is less disciplined and consistent.
Minnesota hasn't been since 2014 so they will bring a bunch of fans. Michigan I believe has a big alumni contingent in the Northeast and they helped fill Allentown last night pretty well. Denver travels decently well as they were at the Frozen Four in Tampa I went to. Not sure on Minnesota State though. No team travels like North Dakota though.IIRC the Frozen Four has a real steady following that buys tickets in advance year after year. Either that or the Garden's going to be pretty empty.
A quick scan of the resale market appears to show that tickets are going for above face. My balcony seats cost me ~$180 per seat for both nights (all three games) and there seems to be a price floor of about ~$220 (before fees on both ends) for the cheapest pair on Ticketmaster.IIRC the Frozen Four has a real steady following that buys tickets in advance year after year.

That’s what happens when you don’t reach semis in the HE (and don’t make tourney) when the FF is 4 miles away.Albie O’Connell out as the head coach at Boston University
I didn’t understand the putting a D at the net (for offense)Looks like a good one at the Garden. 2-2 nearing the end of the third. Denver missed a wide open net on the PP.
That's cool. Never been to a F4 in person. Any throwback sweaters stand out?The second game was mostly a dud. Glad it was a blowout so I could leave early especially after the late start in game 2. The best part of the Frozen Four is seeing jerseys from pretty much every D1 hockey school.
Obviously the Fighting Sioux greens are a great look. Saw a Northern Michigan Wildcats one with a diagonal Wildcat wording. The old BC jerseys with just the eagle logo on the crest is another good one. Some old school Wisconsin and Miami jerseys I saw. It’s a who’s who of jerseys really. Some people I met had like a bingo card to see if they found the logo of a particular school which was pretty cool. Frozen Fours are pretty great. This was my 4th.That's cool.

There was a ULowell Chiefs jersey circulating on the lower level during the second game. Also a red/yellow Ferris State jersey next section over from me, I'm not sure if that's an older look for them or not.That's cool. Never been to a F4 in person. Any throwback sweaters stand out?
"I have been thinking about the possibility of retiring during the past several weeks and it just seemed to me to be the right time to do so," said the 76 year old York in a press release. "I am so blessed to have been involved with Boston College these past 28 years and to have had the opportunity to coach so many wonderful student-athletes."
After coming to Boston College from Bowling Green, where he won a National Championship, the Massachusetts native returned to his alma mater where he helped the Eagles win national championships in 2001, 2008, 2010, and 2012. During his illustrious career, York led BC win nine Hockey East Tournament titles and 12 regular season championships during his 28 year reign in Chestnut Hill. He retired with a historical 1,123 wins, the most in college hockey history.
Unless he's ill, what's sad about it? He's 76.What a sad season
