Need to beat these guys. It is time to establish ourselves as the number one program in a state that has some pretty good ones.

The Ice Bus is back! What a game! Can someone please inform the students that there is in fact, a hockey team? There were like 10 people in the student section

I know…that was kinda sad to see. They need to bus them in for games, like they do for football. It’ll be crazy at the new arena, however.

might send a letter to the school to be honest. We NEED people at the BU game!!!

Great effort…big contributions by our 3 new grad players. Kondelik is still a monster. Vlad was everywhere…the defense looked real solid. Great effort overall. Penalty kill was miles above last year. Power play looked good as well

I don’t agree with Dan Connelly that is was an ugly win. We finally beat SHU - in past years we would have lost it. For the first game I thought they played well. They are a much faster skating team.
