I'd be shocked if UConn isn't one of the teams invited to play, and it likely would be against BC. Fair warning that Fenway is an absolutely TERRIBLE place to watch a hockey game. These ridiculous gimmick games at Fenway need to come to an end once everyone's had their shot to play there.

Not sure on matchups, but told Frozen Fenway teams are BC, BU, PC, UMass, UConn, UNH, Northeastern and Maine. 4 games over 2 Saturday's.

There's also a chance a women's game is added.

Non-participating schools are being asked to move games that weekend to leave Fenway games as only games on those 2 Saturdays (1/2)

(2/2) but I was told by one coach that has been met with "much resistance." ... Home teams will have gates reimbursed per usual.

As terrible as fenway is to watch hockey or anything, you schedule hockey games once every fourth year to give the players the gimmicky novelty of playing games in the quirky stadium.

These matchups are completely terrible, this Fenway nonsense needs to end if they're going to keep up with this idea of "Let's just make sure everyone has a chance!!!!!!!" UConn-Maine? BU-UMass? They couldn't think to match UConn with BC? BU with Providence or UNH? BC-PC is the only game here that would draw any level of interest.

If these games are going to count against our home games I think the idea is dumb already. Also I'm gonna be very pi$$ed if those 2 Saturday's go unscheduled at the XLC while we're at Fenway. Then we'll have to return home and play on like a Tuesday knowing how they set everything up smh.

I also hope this doesn't become an annual occurrence. 1 Time is enough to take in the experience.

They are counting against teams' home schedules. The only one I know is that apparently BU-UMass will count as a UMass home game and BU will not be playing out in Amherst. A good trade-off for us, but crappy for UMass. Don't know who gives up the home game in UConn-Maine, but the game will not be considered a neutral site contest for the purposes of conference scheduling.

Why would hockey east feel compelled to match BC vs Uconn ? There is no history between the two schools and uconn has been a bottom feeder team since joining the league. this Fenway stuff worked when it was BC-BU. That's it

I know. They shouldn't be doing these at all anymore, but HE seems intent on continuing and creating these boring matchups to make sure "everyone participates" so the BC-UConn matchup is making lemonade from lemons. You think I'm pumped to see my guys take on UMass? These games are a joke.

Could this be our old buddy hockeyfan44 returning under yet another screen name?
