In the landscape of the Greater Boston college hockey scene, nobody is going to mistake a game between Northeastern and Bentley for a Beanpot final. There’s no trophy handed out, and their games typically don’t take on the magnitude of a late season drama festival. If Friday’s 1-1 tie at the John A. Ryan Arena … Read more

Dan Rubin examines the effects of the Falcons’ announcement that they’ll build an on-campus arena.
“Whether it’s new lighting or new video boards or improving seating, this is part of the ongoing process of the league and its directors,” Atlantic Hockey commissioner Bob DeGregorio said after Bentley announced plans for a new, on-campus arena.

So here we are again in Atlantic Hockey, another postseason run to the roses upon us. It’s amazing how the start of the playoffs, a time of tumultuous finishes (especially for a one-berth league to the national tournament), is essentially calmer than the storm leading up to it.
