By: Joe Barbito Unlike years past, the Northeastern men’s hockey team had a very strong start to the year. They swept BU in a home-and-home series, won two of three against Lowell, and have looked good-if-not-great in multiple facets of the game. Much like past years, the Huskies must have a strong second half if…
