Three Things: Bentley Takes Flight

November 27, 2017 by Dan Rubin

It seemed like each week featured some other team breaking out of its shell. Someone had the perfect weekend of hockey and banked four points while providing glimpses into a program’s identity. Everyone had their day, except, it seemed, Bentley. Until now. Bentley swept Robert Morris this weekend by playing a complete weekend of hockey. … Read more

Three Things: Buzzkill

November 12, 2017 by Dan Rubin

In our preseason conference preview, Chris Lerch and I tabbed AIC and Niagara as two of our bottom three teams. A little over one month into the season, we’re being proven, once again, to know virtually to absolutely nothing. Such is life in Atlantic Hockey. AIC swept Sacred Heart one weekend after the Pioneers played … Read more

Three Things: Broken Record

October 29, 2017 by Dan Rubin

I have this perfect hypothetical situation in my head. It’s late August, and Atlantic Hockey’s coaches are meeting in a dark room under a hockey rink somewhere. It’s dimly lit, and they all pass note cards around a table coming up with what they all want to say at the beginning of the season. They … Read more

September 16, 2020October 22, 2017 by Chris Lerch

October 16, 2017 by Dan Rubin

Holy Cross and Mercyhurst played 130 minutes of hockey this weekend. It included six periods and two five-minute overtime periods across two games.

Three Things: Back On The Mountaintop

March 19, 2017 by Dan Rubin
