True Believers
Neither rain nor snow nor dark of night — or age, distance or parenthood — can keep the faithful from this year’s Frozen Four, Scott Weighart finds.
Sioux March on To Albany
North Dakota’s top line of Panzer, Lundbohm and Bayda was too much for a weary Colorado College. The Tigers, having just played two overtimes the night before, lost 4-1, as the Sioux returned to the Frozen Four in hopes of becoming the first NCAA repeat champion in 19 years.
Bartlett Sends SLU, CC to OT
A goal by St. Lawrence’s Russ Bartlett scored at 7:26 of the third period to knot the Saints with Colorado College 2-2, and the two teams played a nailbiter down the stretch before heading into overtime. For hardcore fans in attendance at the opening game of the East Regionals at the Worcester Centrum, the game … Read more
Hungry Friars Rally Past Black Bears
Providence turned in a big performance in its most important game of the season. With the victory over Maine, not only have the Friars earned the right to play for the Hockey East championship, they have apparently sealed an NCAA berth, knocking out UNH in the process.
Providence Wins Double OT Thriller
Neither Boston University nor Providence seemed eager to take off their uniforms and begin their summer vacations.

Eagles Deep-Six Terriers’ Quest for Seventh Straight Beanpot
After a seven-year wait, the No. 2 Boston College Eagles have finally won that elusive Beanpot title.

Terriers Advance to Beanpot Final With 6-4 Victory
The BU Terriers will defend their Beanpot title once again. Winners of the last six such championships, BU will meet BC after a 6-4 win on Monday against Northeastern. Sophomore Brian Collins paced the Terriers with a hat trick.
World Junior Returnees Help BU top Arch-Rival BC
It was all you expect out of a BU-BC game: Big plays, big saves, a close score, and a lot of ill will. In the end, BU held on for the win, but the teams will do it all over again on Sunday.
Looking Out For Number One
It’s not easy playing behind an All-American — just ask BU’s Jason Tapp, who pulled that duty twice as the backup to Michel Larocque and then Rick DiPietro. This season, however, might be a very different story. Scott Weighart profiles the Terrier reserve-cum-starter.
Exorcising Their Demons
Perhaps it’s a good thing that no player on the Boston College roster describes himself as a history major in the team’s media guide. In Saturday night’s Hockey East championship game, BC faced its third big overtime game at the FleetCenter in the last two years, and the Eagles had lost the previous two. In … Read more
Tales From The Fleet
No Case of Senioritis for UNH Ah, mid-March. That time of year when seniors at most universities go on spring break and then begin to stagger toward the finish line of their collegiate careers. A point at which the work ethic of many top-performing upperclassmen becomes abysmal. It’s called “senioritis.” But somehow the UNH hockey … Read more
