UConn MHOC & 2025 Hockey East Tournament (*Championship Game: Friday 3/21/25 v. Maine Black Bears at 7:30p @ TD Garden, Boston MA) Game on NESN

Maine and UConn offered a reminder that powerhouse Hockey East is more than just Massachusetts - The Boston Globe

Not since 2002, when New Hampshire bested Maine, had the finale involved two out-of-state varsities before Friday night.

Hockey is Maine's sport. It's not our sport. Maine's attendance isn't an indictment on UConn support. Look how the Elite 8 went at the Garden

It's like any other sport. Hockey is Maine's sport when the Blackbears are doing well. Not so much at other times.

Someone mentioned UNH. I remember times when UNH fans were very fanatical. Likewise UVM.

At least we are not St. John's basketball fans.......................one and done!

and they'll return to form if UNH is ever on the upswing. Their numbers are serious, don't kid yourself otherwise.

who will continue to grow, particularly as students become a more integral part of the fanbase.

I can 10000% guarantee you this is happening nowhere near soon. There are about 150 student tickets released per game. This is not an effective way to grow the student fanbase especially when the players are backdooring a lot of these

Anyways... it appears that UConn will be facing those kitties from Hamden in Allentown, PA this Friday.

Actually it appears Penn State will be the first round opponent. And Maine/QU for the regional championship if they get past the first round. Gotta like the odds for this regional. The big question mark in my mind is Penn State. Clarkson beat QU twice this year. So UConn would have to be favored in a QU matchup if it happens. And Maine is a very known quantity. So getting past PSU looks like the most dangerous matchup.
