Dan RubinIt seemed like each week featured some other team breaking out of its shell. Someone had the perfect weekend of hockey and banked four points while providing glimpses into a program’s identity. Everyone had their day, except, it seemed, Bentley. Until now. Bentley swept Robert Morris this weekend by playing a complete weekend of hockey. … Read more
In a league where every point matters, it’s imperative to open the season with a fast start. It doesn’t make or break the year, but it’s important to set a pace rather than play catch up. A bottom-line price is to simply “not lose” games since ties still add up points for the end of … Read more
In our preseason conference preview, Chris Lerch and I tabbed AIC and Niagara as two of our bottom three teams. A little over one month into the season, we’re being proven, once again, to know virtually to absolutely nothing. Such is life in Atlantic Hockey. AIC swept Sacred Heart one weekend after the Pioneers played … Read more

Fairfield County juts west into the metropolitan New York City region, the last stop before the Connecticut-New York state border. Its largest city, Bridgeport, is most populous in the state as Interstate 95 cuts right through the downtown area. Its sports arena, Webster Bank Arena, rises right along that highway, a testament to the community … Read more
I have this perfect hypothetical situation in my head. It’s late August, and Atlantic Hockey’s coaches are meeting in a dark room under a hockey rink somewhere. It’s dimly lit, and they all pass note cards around a table coming up with what they all want to say at the beginning of the season. They … Read more

When Atlantic Hockey’s administration puts together highlight reels, it might want to dial up Friday night’s Bentley-Mercyhurst game film. The Falcons and Lakers dueled for 60 minutes into the night, producing 80 shots and seven goals. They peppered each other for 30 shots and five goals in the third period alone. There was physicality, intensity, … Read more
Christian Pomarico never met Derek Hines. They never skated together and never dressed together in the same hockey locker room. They both attended and graduated from the United States Military Academy, but neither man met the other. But to Pomarico, “Hinesy” is still a part of his family. A 2016 West Point graduate, Pomarico hung … Read more
Holy Cross and Mercyhurst played 130 minutes of hockey this weekend. It included six periods and two five-minute overtime periods across two games. By the time it ended, they split the weekend, the product of back-to-back ties after 1-1 and 4-4 results. It was a good weekend of hockey giving both teams plenty of positives. … Read more

College hockey’s first weekend is usually something of a parade lap. Nonconference matchups dot the first days of the season, with fans and followers getting reacquainted with familiar colors. Chants and songs shake off summer dust, and the first semblance of winter’s cold blows in across the sport’s landscape. For teams like American International and … Read more
On July 14, alumni from both Boston College and Boston University took to the ice for the third annual Comm Ave Charity Classic, a summer exhibition raising money for both Compassionate Care ALS and the Travis Roy Foundation. Led by a pair of first-period goals, the BU alumni won 8-6, earning proverbial bragging rights on a night where over an event raised more than $64,000 for those two charities at historic Walter Brown Arena.

UMass Lowell won the Hockey East championship on Saturday night by defeating Boston College at TD Garden. It won’t have to go far to contend for the Frozen Four.
There was once a time when Atlantic Hockey was essentially Air Force’s playground. They entered the league and promptly proved the separation between themselves and the rest of the conference, winning five banners in their first six seasons. Then the rest of the league seemingly caught up to the Falcons, and the reputation of the … Read more

With three games remaining to whittle four teams down to the final roster hoisting a trophy, there’s a certain panache that is felt as opposed to defined. The … Read more
We all knew it was going to happen. After five games last year, including an epic three-game series, and four games this year, including a couple of epic one-goal games, there was virtually no way that the Bentley-Sacred Heart series wasn’t destined for three games. There also was no way, after the teams split the … Read more
