The USCHO Fan Forum has migrated to a new plaform, xenForo. Most of the function of the forum should work in familiar ways.
Please note that you can switch between light and dark modes by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right of the main menu bar.
We are hoping that this new platform will prove to be faster and more reliable. Please feel free to explore its features.
It is very disappointing to see that AIC's last home game will not even be at home. They will be hosting RIT in a first round AHA game at Army West Point's Tate arena about 2 1/2 hours away. Perhaps that underscores part of the reason for the programs' demise. They played games in Springfield at...
As an outsider that follows all of Hockey East I would like to see 6 Hockey East teams make the NCAA tournament. That being said the chances of that happening likely depend on a sweep in this weekend's series between the UMass schools. Whoever sweeps will likely move up to 11 in the PWR. The...
I would also add 4) the ability to beat tight forechecking of the opposing team. Any team that gives BC space to set up cannot compete with them. Only those teams with strong forechecking are able to negate it. If they can break that tight forechecking much like basketball breaking the full...
Any idea if it is the hip or the shoulder Labrum? If the hip that would prevent him from any skating. If he is skating, then it must be the shoulder. I read that if non-surgical it would be about 6 to 8 weeks which at best gets him back for the regionals or for the Frozen 4.
Shamburger served the bench minor for too many men on the ice in Friday's game. That means he was on the ice when that happened. Not sure who was at fault for it, but he would have been the choice to serve it no matter what. I believe he jumped into the play getting out of the box which seemed...
I am curious about the CCHA autobid for the NCAA tournament. Is Augustana disqualified from receiving the bid this year? It appears that playoffstatus.com is making that assumption. If so, does that mean that if they play for the championship that the other participant automatically receives the...
Not so certain about the offsides as the puck was way overhead as it crossed the blue line. The whistle does not blow until an offensive player touches it so that whistle came when Hagens got the puck halfway into the zone. He only took one or two strides at most before shooting it. I am...
The incidences of the Flu are very high at this time. Not sure how that may affect player availability but would not be surprised to see an outbreak among fans following the games. Hospitals are inundated with Flu patients.
Today's the day. PWR: BC 1, BU 9, NU 24, Harvard 43. Poll: BC 1 and BU 8. 33 teams received votes but none for NU or Harvard. As we know anyone can win this but on paper it is BC's to lose.
This forum is an excellent place to get tickets at cost, so you buyers out there are looking in the right place. For someone who wants to quickly get tickets off their hand it could be too. However, the NCAA has a ticket resale program in effect for those wanting to sell officially through...
Very interesting in seeing which schools were involved. Hockey East by far had the most drafted (25) compared to Big Ten (15) NCHC (14) ECAC (10) and WCHA (1). Atlantic Hockey had none. Maine was the only Hockey East school without a draftee while Michigan State was the only Big Ten school out...
With Bentley playing Boston College for the first time this weekend I started thinking this may be one of the closest pairs of NCAA Division 1 schools around. While they are less than 6 miles apart they are not even in the top 8. Boston area schools BC, BU, Northeastern and Harvard are all...
This is the first year I can recall that so many teams are scheduling regular season Division 1 games instead of exhibition games to start the season. Nearly 1/3 of the schools are doing so with 9 of those games on tap for the first day of full team and coaches participation. This 1/3 is...
Tonight there was a game that ended in the most unimaginable way. Niagara which only won 3 games this season and sitting at the bottom of the PWR by a mile came from behind in a highly unlikely way to beat RIT 5-4. Trailing 4-2 with under 6 minutes to go Niagara was called for a penalty which...
As predicted, Connor, Demko and Vesey.
While it appears Connor has the edge, I think that 15 years since Ryan Miller won it, a goalie is long overdue. Demko with 10 shutouts this season, second all time, just may be the one to break that trend.
In the BC-Merrimack game tonight we saw something that may or may not have ever happened before in one period. BC scored 4 different ways: even strength, power play, short handed and on a penalty shot. Only they did not score an empty net goal. Has a team ever scored all 5 ways in a game...
With a weekend to go here is what we know:
Mercyhurst has locked up the top seed.
Seeds 2 to 5 are open between Bentley, Air Force, UConn and Robert Morris. Three of them get byes and the 4th will host Army which is locked in as the 12 seed.
Canisius and Niagara have home ice in the first...
