Providence is the last remaining unbeaten team in Division I men’s hockey, and New Hampshire’s Andrew Poturalski has averaged two points per game.
A few teams have emerged as the elite, but for many, the struggle to play at a high level every night has been real.
There remains just one unbeaten team in the country thanks to Boston University. That leads the three things I learned this week. 1. A motivated BU team knocks off Quinnipiac Maybe a 3-2 loss on Friday night to Yale was the motivation that Boston University needed as a night later, after falling behind, 1-0, to … Read more

The game developed a new global stage, and the tournament is set to return to Belfast next season.
Jim Connelly and Paula C. Weston take a look back at the inaugural Friendship Four in this week’s Tuesday Morning Quarterback.
Shootouts are not the norm in college hockey, particularly for schools out east. But this weekend, they twice translated to trophies for Hockey East teams. 1.
