Candace and Arlan look at RPI’s upset of Clarkson, the too-hard-to-call CHA and ECAC, the results of Boston College and Boston University, what Bemidji’s win over Ohio State does for the Beavers, and what players are standing out that might not normally get accolades.
Candace and Arlan ponder whether new top 10 team Princeton can return to the NCAA tournament, what North Dakota’s win over Minnesota means, Wisconsin’s defense, whether anyone in Hockey East can push Boston College and Northeastern, and the Four Nations Cup.
Sometimes, a writer doesn’t ultimately tell the story that he intended at the outset. Admittedly, I’m far from an expert when it comes to Colgate Raiders hockey. I’ve watched them play one series in person. That was opening weekend three years ago. It was the first NCAA competition for this season’s senior class, and those … Read more
After a few weeks of play, Candace and Arlan take a look at which teams are looking good and which have some work to do in their first Wednesday Women of the year.

Harvard held first place for a night, North Dakota is moving on up in the WCHA, several teams, including Colgate and Penn State, have great freshmen, and Minnesota and Boston College have looked a little vulnerable.
The IIHF U-18 Women’s World Championships were won by the U.S. over Canada, and featured plenty of future collegiate stars, including U.S. captain and Ohio State recruit Jincy Dunne, who scored the game-winner in overtime for the U.S.
Candace and Arlan ponder whether newly ranked Bemidji State is an NCAA contender, whether anyone can stop Boston College in Hockey East, and debate the explosive volatility in the ECAC and CHA.

Coach Greg Fargo’s introduction to Division I women’s hockey was a trip to Minnesota a year ago with his new team to face the defending national champions. To the credit of Fargo and his players, they were undeterred by being outscored 18-0 in that series and went on to have a successful season, including a … Read more
Unlike the three other conferences, where the league tournament is all-inclusive, ECAC Hockey leaves four teams on the outside looking in when the playoffs commence. It becomes a mad scramble to get into the field, and last season’s final week saw no fewer than four teams alive for the final berth. That makes it competitive … Read more
