Rachel Lenzi Last weekend’s ECAC Northeast/MASCAC slate included a slew of nonconference games, including a handful of Thanksgiving tournaments in which teams got to showcase their wares against out-of-state competition. I went 3-2-1 this week (earning a half point for Framingham’s 1-1 tie Tuesday with Fitchburg), moving to 14-9-5. Here are this week’s picks. ECAC Northeast Curry … Read more
After last week’s 3-2 win over Manhattanville, Western New England coach Greg Heffernan admitted he wasn’t even aware of a once long-standing streak Manhattanville owned. Instead, like any coach, Heffernan was preparing his team for the challenge that was in front of them, rather than focusing on a certain aura or milestone surrounding a team … Read more
Charging Castleton Castleton just keeps rolling. This past week, Castleton’s path stormed through the ECAC Northeast and the MASCAC. The Spartans entered last weekend’s game as the No. 3 team in the country in the latest USCHO.com Division III top 15 poll. (Disclosure: I voted them No. 1) and they’re 9-0 so far this season. … Read more

By the time you read this, you’ll probably be working on Thanksgiving leftovers, or you might be catching up on the sleep you lost after staying up for the Black Friday deals. However, the majority of the ECAC Northeast and MASCAC teams will be preparing for weekend games and tournaments, so I’ll make my picks … Read more

To hear Eddie Davey discuss the start to his season, it seems as if it’s a contradiction of sorts. Westfield State’s sophomore goalie isn’t necessarily getting peppered with shots, though several score sheets indicate otherwise. In his first three games in goal, Davey has averaged 38.3 saves in each appearance for the Owls, including 49 … Read more
More than 200 current Division I men’s players tweet, but they have to watch what they post. Rachel Lenzi reports.
For the MASCAC and the ECAC Northeast, it’s time to take a break. Somewhat of a break. The 15 teams in both leagues will play this week, both before and after Thanksgiving, but this week’s slate is made up entirely of nonconference games and tournament games. Didn’t I write about tournaments just a couple weeks … Read more

It’s that time of the week again – pick six games from the two conferences (including the conference crossover games) and make our best predictions. However, each week’s picks come with a little statistical analysis, and this week’s match-ups even come with a few wrinkles – both hockey and non-hockey. Will those factor into the … Read more

Salem State is looking to restart, having had a 10-day layoff between its first and second games.
You had to wonder when it was going to happen for Salve Regina. Last week, I wrote that Salve had won its first game in nearly nine months, as the Seagulls defeated Franklin Pierce, 4-2, last Tuesday, November 8. Four nights later though, the Seahawks lost 10-2 to Curry in their ECAC Northeast opener, and … Read more

This isn’t the lotto, though given our tough economic times, some might long for a chance to get a few extra bucks. But each week, we’ll look at five games in the ECAC Northeast and the MASCAC and take a stab at the outcome. In my first week, I did poorly, going 2-4 (.333). Let’s … Read more

Teams use early-season tournaments as preparation for the long season.
First, the MASCAC and ECAC Northeast opened the season nearly two weeks after their national counterparts. Then, there was little uniformity in the start of the season for each team. In a three-day stretch of Friday through Sunday, two MASCAC teams and six ECAC Northeast teams opened the season, but Sunday afternoon brought one of … Read more
