Previous brackets ... January 13 ... December 12. Onward. Step 1: Pick the 16 tournament teams 1. That lesser...
Why Doesn't Boston College Hockey Host A Holiday Tournament?
The UMass hockey blog Fear The Triangle recently learned that the men's ice hockey team will be playing in the 2013 UConn Hockey Classic with Sacred Heart, Quinnipiac and host UConn. But forgive Fear The Triangle if they aren't completely blown away at the prospects of playing a holiday tournament...
NCAA Hockey Bracketology: December 12, 2011

WCHA Preview: Forwards
Last season, I tried previewing the WCHA by ranking each teams forwards, defense, and goaltending. That seemed to be a fairly effective way of doing things, so I thought I'd try it again this year. We'll start things off with the forwards. This was a surprisingly tough group to rank. Despite the...
Western Michigan, St. Cloud to Join NCHC
The Secondary Six will now become the Page 8 Conference. It was announced today that Western Michigan and St. Cloud State will join the newly-formed conference. It's an interesting move on a number of fronts. First, the Secondary Six was thought to be waiting on the relative "prize" of gaining...
