Gaudreau beat the odds on his way to the Hobey Baker Award
Though he eventually became known as Johnny Hockey, leading the nation in scoring the last two years and being named the 2014 winner of the Hobey Baker Award, Johnny Gaudreau has had to endure times that tested his belief in himself.
Faces of a rivalry: ‘This feels right. It’s how it should be.’
Fans of Minnesota and North Dakota were on the edge of their seats in the Frozen Four semifinals.
In just over five minutes, Boston College sees golden opportunity turn to disaster
The Eagles had a chance to tie the Frozen Four semifinal against Union on a five-minute power play but ended up falling behind by two goals shortly thereafter.
Defense means as much as top-ranked offense for Boston College
Boston College may boast the nation’s No. 1 offense, but the Eagles know their school’s recent national championships (2008, 2010, 2012) haven’t come by outrunning and outgunning the opposition. They’ve come from being an excellent defensive team. This year’s squad is prepared to follow suit.

Boston College knows it has to be more than just the big line
Boston College’s dominating first line of Johnny Gaudreau, Kevin Hayes and Bill Arnold has received the lion’s share of media attention, and deservedly so.

Jerry York is hungry, and so is Boston College
At 1:50 p.m., Boston College coach Jerry York walked into Wednesday’s Frozen Four news conference along with three of his players, all fresh from practice. When asked for his thoughts, he replied with a sentiment often heard at that time of day.

The perfect complement: Boston College’s Hayes much more than a Gaudreau appendage
The Eagles senior possesses a level of skill not seen in a collegiate player of his size in a long time.
The irresistible force wins, but Boston College needed more to get past Massachusetts-Lowell
The Eagles got four goals past Connor Hellebuyck and Massachusetts-Lowell but it had to blend in a strong defense, too.
The other guy: In loss, Minnesota State’s Huggins does his best to match Hellebuyck
The Mavericks goaltender stopped 34 of 35 shots in a loss to Massachusetts-Lowell

Splits across the league and disappointments
These are the three things I think I learned this week. 1. Four points can’t get any harder than this. Coaches have long bemoaned the difficulty of getting four points against any Hockey East opponent, regardless of position in the standings. Well, this weekend became their quintessential example. All five league series ended in splits. … Read more
