Story by Rae Deer and Milton Posner Photos by Sarah Olender BOSTON — It was hard to know whether Tuesday night’s Northeastern–Boston College men’s hockey matchup was an attempt to recreate the Beanpot — which begins in the first week of February in non-pandemic years — or merely a resumption of the schedule Northeastern would have…

By Matt Neiser DURHAM, New Hampshire — “That effort tonight was unacceptable.” A clearly irritated Jim Madigan was none too happy with his team postgame, and for good reason.
