Madigan End of Season Presser
By Josh Brown and Ryan Fallon The #14 Northeastern Huskies (18-12-4, 10-8-2 in Hockey East) needed just one point in the last weekend of regular season play to secure home ice advantage for the Hockey East Quarterfinals. They played a Boston University team which had one of its worst seasons in years. But they couldn’t…
By Josh Brown In one weekend all the hopes of a home playoff game at Matthews Arena were squashed for Huskies fans after the Boston University Terriers (10-20-4, 5-12-13) swept Northeastern (18-12-4, 10-8-2) in a home-and-home series. The loss drops Northeastern to fifth in Hockey East, where they will have to travel to Durham to…
By Josh Brown The #9 Northeastern Huskies (18-10-4) hockey team has clinched a first-round bye in the Hockey East tournament, after picking up 3 huge points against Maine (15-11-4) despite playing without captain Josh Manson, Matt Benning and Dalen Hedges. The Huskies fell behind 2-0 early in Friday’s game after a Connor Leen goal at…
By Jeremy Leopold Marcus Thorton may not be a senior, but the junior William & Mary (17-10, 9-5 CAA) guard put up another stellar performance in a lopsided 81-67 victory over the Northeastern Huskies (9-20, 6-9 CAA) on the Tribe’s Senior Night. All five William & Mary’s starters were seniors playing their final game in…
By Josh Brown Despite three, late third period UMass-Amherst (8-19-4) goals, the Northeastern Huskies (17-10-3) were able to outlast the Minutemen 5-4, to claim fourth place in Hockey East at the end of the weekend. The 17th win on the season for Northeastern is its highest win total since the 2008-2009 season. The Huskies struck…
By Josh Brown Close but just short. That was the case for the #12 Northeastern Huskies (16-10-3) Monday night in the Beanpot Championship as they fell 4-1 to the #1 ranked Boston College Eagles (22-4-3), in what could arguably be called Northeastern’s best executed game of the season. The win is Boston College’s 5th consecutive…
By Josh Brown In Hockey East only one thing is certain. Anybody can win on any given night. That was certainly the case Friday night as the Umass-Amherst Minutemen (8-16-4) defeated the Northeastern Huskies (16-9-3) 3-0 in convincing fashion on a night where they out-shot the Huskies 48-27. “It’s fun when you feel good about the process,…

By Josh Brown The 10th ranked Northeastern Huskies walked in to the Compton Family Ice Arena last weekend with a 4-0 record in that very building spanning back to the 2011-2012 season with three of those wins coming against Notre Dame (the fourth was against Western Michigan, who Northeastern beat in a shootout in the…
By Joe Nolan Northeastern split the weekend series with UVM, winning Friday night 3 – 2, but losing Saturday 4 – 1.

Witt made 47 saves as the Huskies improved to 13-6-3 overall (6-4-1 Hockey East). Less than ideal weather made for an unusual hockey game, and…
By Joe Nolan Braden Pimm scored to tie the game with only 34 seconds remaining in the third period and again just 12 seconds into overtime to lead the Huskies past the #6 Providence Friars at Schneider Arena Tuesday night.
