Has there been an update on the schedule yet? I haven't seen anything, wasn't sure if anyone else has and I missed it

Have not seen one yet but a January 1 start date could see BC without several players due to participation in the World Junior tournament. This release from Hockey East lists the HEA players on the preliminary squad which of course will be whittled down. Note that HEA lists Luke Tuch as from BC but I believe he is a BU student now. http://hockeyeastonline.com/men/arti...ation-camp.php

Don't forget that Alex Newhook is on the Canadian preliminary roster too.

My guess is season starts first or second week of November. I read the other day it is going to be conference only so likely it will be like back in the day where every team plays each other three times.

Not sure about other teams but looks like Maine is practicing every day now.

May finish number 2 without playing a game. The situation is going from bad to worse. My wife asked me what was the thing I missed most in the COVID world. Easy answer, college hockey.

Any idea when a team schedule is coming out ? I thought the season starts in November sometime.

Looks like in a couple weeks...

Called by BCAA today, asking if I want my $ back or roll over to next year. CHose the roll over. No fans this year and would not say when the season starts. I think a November start is optimistic given the rising wave of infections. We are in new territory and when you see the celebration after the ND game it is no wonder the cases are surging. This is truly frightening.

The schedule is out, first game is a week from Friday on NESN.

Let’s hope we can get into the Beanpot and the playoffs. Vaccine distribution should start in January as promised by President Trump.

Go Eagles!

Unlike Mel Pearson, York is releasing Newhook for the Canadian camp and because of that he will miss the first 8 games of the season. That's fairly significant in a shortened season like this. But it will just be nice to see some hockey and NESN has stepped up the coverage since no fans are allowed and as of now there is no set starting date for the Bruins. Triple header on NESN New Year's Day as an example. Feel for you YouTube TV subscribers as they recently dropped NESN.

Glad Hockey East put this plan together. At some point life goes on and you do the best you can if COVID cases arise.
