So I won’t. Niagara sweeps. Canisius at Connecticut<\/strong> – Both teams are playing pretty good hockey right now, but I’m going with the home team. The Huskies are 5-0-1 against Canisius in their last six meetings.

\nOn the season:<\/strong> 48-25-15 (.631)<\/p>\n
\nArmy at Bentley<\/strong> – The visiting team won all three games in this series last season, but I think that trend stops here. Bentley wins.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nRobert Morris at Holy Cross<\/strong> – This series is a near toss-up in my opinion, with Holy Cross getting a slight edge. The Crusaders are a little deeper and have the home ice advantage. Holy Cross sweeps.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nMercyhurst at Air Force<\/strong> – This is a rematch of last year’s Atlantic Hockey semifinals, won by the Falcons. I’m picking a similar result. Air Force wins.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nSaturday, Dec. 1:<\/strong>
\nAmerican International at Army<\/strong> – This will be an emotional game for the Black Knights. Army is honoring Major Tom Kennedy, who was killed in action in Afghanistan in August. Kennedy was a former player and Officer Representative at West Point. Army wins.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nRochester Institute of Technology<\/strong> – Both teams are further down in the standings than expected. The home team won all three games in this series last season and I think that trend continues. Air Force wins.<\/strong><\/p>\n
