    Northeastern 2025-26: After Hours at the Old Barn

    Well, venerable Matthews Arena lives on after it was originally supposed to have hosted its last event last Spring. But now it's like piling into the basements of certain storied Boston watering holes to continue the revelry long after legal closing time. But the countdown clock continues to...

    Beanpot LXXII: The Beat Goes On

    Less than a month to go so time for the chatter to begin. BU vs H in the Feb 3 early game; BC and NU in the nightcap. BC (12-3-1) is having a season for the ages; BU (9-7-1) at least is +.500; H and NU not so much. Which means that one of those two will probably win.

    Northeastern 2024-25: Last Days (Maybe) for the Old Barn

    Rossi's post in the 2023-24 thread is a wake-up call that puck drop on the 2024-25 season is just a week away, so it's time for a new thread. Agree with Rossi's forecast for the new season. Defense and goaltending will be lockdown solid--among the best in the country. Firepower up front is...

    Beanpot LXXI: "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year"

    Time to forget the season records and hyperventilate over whether or not Northeastern continues its recent Beanpot domination; whatever has happened to Harvard; and all things Commonwealth Ave. Last year's finalists (defending champ NU and Hahvahd) have the early (5 p.m.) game with the Comm...

    Northeastern Huskies 2023-24: Brave New World or New Beginning?

    The close of the 2022-23 season marked the end of a golden era of Northeastern hockey—one that rivals that of the dominating 1980s teams. The age of Gaudette/Sikura/Shea/Davies/McDonough/Harris, et al that brought four Beanpots and four NCAA regionals is now in the rearview mirror. And then...

    Beanpot LXX: Timeless!

    Exactly four weeks before the puck drops for the 70th Edition of what is arguably the best college hockey showcase in the world, despite the NCAA’s best efforts at sabotaging it. BU and Harvard are riding high while any team with Cutter Gauthier (BC) is automatically a contender. Meanwhile, NU...

    Northeastern 2022-23: Unfinished Business - Great Expectations

    Despite being one of the nation’s youngest teams, the historic 2021-22 season brought Northeastern a Hockey East regular season title; Hockey East Coach of the Year honors to Jerry Keefe; and the Mike Richter award as the nation’s best goaltender to Devon Levi. But it also brought a...

    Off-Season Entertainment: Expansion Fantasyland

    Despite the fact that it’s mid-June and the Stanley Cup Playoffs haven’t even reached the final round, it’s the lazy, hazy days of summer for the college hockey world with seemingly little to talk about except what might be going on with a certain coach of a certain program. But let’s suspend...

    Beanpot LXIX: Live and In Person!

    Three weeks and counting before the Beanpot Tournament is back at TD Garden. And while the all-time single game attendance record (17,850) will likely not be broken, real people (not cardboard cutouts) will be in the seats. And IMO, that counts as a win in itself. It doesn’t matter that, with...

    Northeastern 2021-22: Our Doggie Dish Runneth Over?

    If ever there was a poster child for the idea of championship teams being built from the goal out, then the 2021-22 edition of the Northeastern Huskies is it. Start with soph goaltender Devon Levi, who dazzled for Canada in last year’s WJC. An injury sustained in that series shelved him for the...

    Northeastern Huskies 2021-22: Wise Old Dogs and Smart New Pups

    Hate to start off a new thread with bad news but it looks like Athletic Director Jeff Konya is moving on to San Jose State. Northeastern sports thrived on his watch and the Athletic Department on the whole is in the best shape it has ever been in. Jeff was also a huge friend of hockey, as...

    World Junior Championships -- 2021

    It speaks volumes about the decline of participation on this board that nobody has yet started a thread for the 2020-21 World Juniors, which is now underway in Edmonton. Plenty of things to interest college hockey fans, what with 20 NCAA players on the US roster (9 B1G; 7 HEA; 3 NCHC; 1 WCHA)...

    Northeastern Huskies 2020-21: A Season Like No Other

    We’re down to scarcely more than 24 hours (and counting) before puck drop so it’s finally looking like we’ll have a season of some sort. Nobody knows what that season might look like but at least it looks like a season. Harder than usual to make predictions given that NU has yet to play a game...

    Beanpot LXVIII: Threepeat?

    Only 14 days to go before the puck drops for the 68th Beanpot Tournament at TD Garden, in Boston, and all the civilized world waits to see if once-bedraggled Northeastern can pull off the first Beanpot threepeat in its long hockey history. And it’s not too soon to start the cross-town sniping...

    Northeastern Huskies 2019-20: Reloaded...and Still in Love with Stacy's Mom

    With just a tad more than 48 hours to go before the puck drops on a new season, the time finally has come to open a new season thread for the defending Beanpot and Hockey East champions. “Reload” isn’t a word often associated with the Boston collegiate hockey teams located south of Commonwealth...

    Beanpot LXVII: It Never Gets Old!

    Only seven days and a wake-up before the first round of the 67th Beanpot unfolds at the TD Garden. It has always been said that season records don't mean anything on the first two Mondays in February. And this year, that may not be a bad thing considering that only two of the contending...

    Northeastern Huskies 2018-19: New Breed, Old Snarl

    Although Northeastern’s first game is still (just) five days away, the 2018-19 college hockey season has officially opened, so it’s time for a new season thread for the “New Breed” Huskies. Lamentable as it may be to some, the old red-eyed “Devil Dog” has been retired after 30 years or so of...

    Northeastern 2018 Off-season: Dog Day Afternoon

    Well, the 2017-18 season was one for the books but now it's in the books and the time has come to think of 2018-19. Two unanswered questions for starters: Among the players: Who stays and who goes? Behind the bench: Does Jerry Keefe take the bait and become Head Coach at Merrimack? Within...

    Northeastern Huskies 2017-18 Season Thread Part II: My Dog's Better Than Your Dog

    With the original season thread nearing capacity, it's time for NU Hockey, and with it the season thread, to move on to bigger and better things. But first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xyt6byJP3Ac OK, Beanpot afterglow is now over. There is important business to be taken care of...

    Beanpot LXVI: The Tong Wars Resume

    Time flies when you're having fun and it's suddenly 10 days from puck drop for the 66th Beanpot. This is one of those years when all four teams (even BU) are legitimate contenders. The thing is literally up for grabs. In addition to the silver pot, this year's edition carries enormous PWR...
