Checking in on the seven Bruins draft picks playing college hockey in New England this season - The Boston Globe

If you have been to a game this season and thought you saw Don Sweeney, that probably was, in fact, the Bruins GM sitting in the stands away from the crowd, taking notes.

2,000 is tiny though...interesting choice for a large brand school. Even if they don't have huge fan support right now, a 2k seat rink doesn't allow for much growth in that department.

So is the expectation that this is actually going to happen? For those who don't know, the Ivies separating from ECAC would mean that the Ivies have an autobid league. I believe you need 6 for an autobid. So even in that scenario the ECAC would still have an autobid. HOWEVER, my understanding is Quinnipiac likes the fact they are linked with the Ivies in the ECAC. If this split happens I would fully anticipate Hockey East putting the full court press on QU to become the league's 12th team.

Women are increasingly climbing the coaching ranks, a key development in the future of women’s hockey - The Boston Globe

A June 2022 study graded Division 1 ice hockey a “D,” with only 37 percent of its head coaches female, but change is happening, with New England teams among those bringing players back to mold the next generation.

How Wild coach John Hynes' days at Boston University 'stoked the fire' for a career behind the bench

Staff at BU didn't initially see Hynes, a gritty fourth-line winger with a sneaky sense of humor, as a future coach. But that would change.

Based on the logos in that picture, I think the revival of Columbia's long lost D-I hockey program will result in the Ivy League getting their autobid. If Columbia doesn't revive its program due to Title IX concerns, then Yale will most likely join. Hell, they may join anyway just for reasons of being in lockstep with their traditional Ivy League brethren. As for Quinnipiac, I am surprised they aren't in the Hockey East already. I fully expect their entry in the ECAC to be replaced with Binghamton University's new program if Hockey East succeeds in courting Quinnipiac.

It’s looking like an eventful year ahead for women’s college hockey - The Boston Globe

The launch of the PWHL in January and the World Championship tournament in April are among the impactful events on the calendar.

I could see Dartmouth being all over an Ivy only league. They seem to struggle against the other ECAC teams and like to hoist banners calling themselves Ivy League champions.

NU made the final of the Holiday FaceOff against #6 Wisconsin. Would love to see the Huskies pull off the upset. Hockey East is crushing its non-conference schedule.

Return to Lake Placid sparks special memories for UMass men’s hockey coach Greg Carvel - The Boston Globe

Carvel was on hand as a 9-year-old hockey fan in 1980 when the Americans pulled off their momentous upset of the Soviets.

Made the drive to New Haven to watch BU beat Yale. Always a pleasure to see a game at the Whale, I recommend it.

Happy to see Maine as #1. Their fans deserve it.

I love Ben Barr. Selfishly, I wish he remained with UMass, but so happy for his success.

You want a nightmare scenario for at the moment, BU fans? The current PWR:

1. Maine
2. BU
14. UMass

If UMass stays in the field as a 4 seed they are automatically in Springfield. Well, the problem is the committee won't do conference games in the first round. In this scenario Maine would be #1 seed in Providence and BU would be a #1 seed but either in Missouri or South Dakota. Something like this happened to BC back in 2011 where they had to go to St. Louis to avoid playing UNH in the first round. UNH was host in Manchester that year.
