    Final OOC game confirmed. Bentley will renew acquaintances with Maine in Orono on 10/19.

      It also appears that UMass-Lowell has not worked out. They were supposed to play a home-and-home last year, but UML deferred the second game to this year and moved the road game to the end of December. They were supposed to play the Tuesday or Thursday before the Sacred Heart opener last year in Lowell, then play 12/30 in Watertown. Lowell moved the October home game to December, then deferred the road game to this year. The UML game at Bentley is now off.

      Not shocked, since UML can't really lose a home gate with a Frozen Four appearance in their back pocket and they were having problems working out dates after Bentley added BU and needed to work that date out (Ryan Soderquist was hell bent on getting that BU game). They did, however, pick up AIC, at Tsongas.

        As noted by FlagDude in his scheduling thread, Quinnipiac still has one free NC game, so perhaps Bentley will be traveling there, which is fine by me.

          Know Your Enemy: Harvard

          Again, welcome any and all corrections and clarifications from those who know the insides and outsides of the program since my research can sometimes be conflicting reports! Looking forward to seeing the Crimson again this October. Harvard's a personal favorite venue of mine.

            Sadly, will miss Bentley at Hahvad again this fall, but will definitely be at Agannis for Bentley - BU on December 13th. Will be on Katahdin over Columbus Day weekend, so cannot face a return drive to Orono so soon, where strangely as a UNH alum I have never been to a game. Interesting that Soderquist will be up against new coaches for these two NC games this year.

              Bentley at Harvard should be a great take. I'm fascinated by Harvard this year because they're one of the few teams I hit on the head last year. I had said, unpopularly, that I thought Harvard's top four finish two years ago was a little bit of smoke and mirrors because they didn't "beat" teams moreso than "didn't lose" to teams. And when I did see them they didn't impress me.

              I'm going to say that Harvard for the Bentley game will be very dangerous. It's the first game of the year again, and the Crimson have a TON to prove. That makes them very dangerous, and I really feel like the young guys will come in and play hair-on-fire hockey. Donato is always known for coaching a team to be physical away from whistles (you can take this to mean getting away with illegal plays), but it works when it's cranking. I'll be very interested, especially since it'll be a "Home" game in comparison to the Maine trip and definitely in comparison to UNO.

              Again, on a personal standpoint, I can't wait for the BU game. It's going to fulfill so many thrills of mine like NU did last year. I grew up going to games at Walter Brown and at Matthews. To be able to work a game in Matthews and not get thrown out like I did when I was an undergrad going to see UMass-Dartmouth play Wentworth was a huge thrill. To beat NU in their barn was a bigger thrill for me personally. But BU is one of those holy grails. I remember chanting at WBA and I remember everything about it. Ryan Soderquist, who is a local guy, once told me that he was excited because he really wanted to coach against Jack Parker and that uniform (granted, that's different now that Jackie's gone, and we're actually disappointed). I can't wait to get up into the press box and get to call a game against Bernie.

              Maybe it's super cheesy, but that game at BU means a ton to the coaches and to people like me. That isn't lost on the players since they all know what BU means, and that will make it big to them as well. It'll also be a litmus test to see if Bentley can handle the biggest of stages like when they played at Michigan. The difference? This is their back yard.

                  Interesting, especially if St A's joins Atlantic Hockey when UConn exits in 2014-2015.

                  Concerning Bentley playing Hockey East teams (after BU and Merrimack this season, we will have played all except UNH, UVM, PC, and BC, I think). Still hoping for an invite to Lake Whitt before Umile retires. Ditto for Jawry at Conte. Could happen sooner than later, now that Hockey East teams will be playing only two regular season games against one another.

                    On that note, St. A's is actually inching closer to joining the AHA. IMHO, I believe they will join and URI will wait it out. URI will be up by 2020 though once they figure out the economic situation in the state.

                      Will be good to have a team from Cow Hamsha in the AHA, to join those in HEA and ECAC.

                              I think this is the first time Bentley people have been invited to camp.

                              Here's the full list, great to see a lot of AHA participation.
