Thank god other leagues are playing. Wisconsin at Notre Dame on NBC sports tonight. Hockey East starts next Friday. So far with college football there has been no reason to shut the season down. They have postponed certain games and life goes on. The Ivy League has now taken two seasons away from a team like Cornell who was in the mix to win it all. There are ways to follow protocol and proceed with everyday life.

Watching Wisconsin vs Notre Dame on NBCSN.

Great to be watching live hockey again even if I can't stand ND's helmets

Badgers on the board! 1-0, 6:55 left in the first period

Want to feel old? Manon Rheaume's son is Notre Dame's goaltender

Only 2 penalties called so far, one for each team. Remarkable.

Badgers PPG now up 2-0 with 7:50 left in the second

Wasn't bad,Hall would have been on there somewhere and I suspect Olson will break in there next year,possibly Mcfaul ,lots of talent in that list though

What do you think Curtis Hall will do? What are his option to play hockey this year when Yale's not playing

I think he signs a pro contract and heads to Providence
other options are Flint in the OHL or possibly USHL but I think those are unlikely due to his age or he stays in school, which isn't ideal for the organization but ultimately it's his choice, an education from Yale might be important to him and his family

College hockey on NBCSN live? Dayum. Here's hoping gets more attention and money into college hockey.

Yup it was great to watch live hockey again.

Wisconsin-Notre Dame(game #2) now on NHL Network, live from South Bend. It's not the same(nothing is), but I'm happy to get the college hockey season rolling and look forward to watching some games in a bar with a few beers. Hockey East next week!


3-2 Badgers after two , we have a game.

UMass is on TV a ton the next few weeks. Can't wait!

Well, it's officially official...no Beanpot.



Of course, with Hockey East announcing that their 2020-21 season would be a conference-only season, this was pretty much assumed, since Harvard is ECAC. In fact, with Harvard, the Ivy League, and the ECAC closing off all winter sports (IIRC), it was also pretty much in the works.

With flex games that don't count only being played WITHIN the conference, I'm surprised they didn't try to schedule a mini round-robin long weekend with BC, BU, NU, and a fourth team. Granted, the fourth team wouldn't exactly be local, and with furloughs, the ability to hold it at TD Garden would be doubtful at best.

Then it wouldn't be the Beanpot. If Harvard can't play, then no Beanpot.

You have a point, but a 4-team, 4 game mini-tournament (with a loser game) over 2 days would at least get people interested in college hockey. Particularly if they had scheduled it the weekend before the Super Bowl, it would remind people that there will be sports after football's over. Although, by then it seems the NBA will be a little over a month into their season, and the NHL should be starting by then, too.

And, yeah, I get it - the Beanpot's the Beanpot. I'm not saying call it the Beanpot. But, frankly, if you had to remove one team from the Beanpot and replace it with another...Harvard would probably be the one. But I'm biased.

Screw Harvard. If they decide not to play that's on them & the league, it isn't like there is a state mandated shutdown.

No reason a fourth MA college can't be invited to play.

 

[Johnnyduke]

That would be interesting. The "closest" to Boston would be who, Bentley? Petty sure they have beaten BC, BU and NU in recent years. Call it the Faux Beanpot if you have to. With no fans, no need to even play at Garden. Go play at WBA or Agganis/Conte.

 

[Saxon Eric]

Umass Lowell or Merrimack would work too

 

[EvilDead]

I really wish they would expand the Beanpot. It would add some intrigue.
