Maeve Carey was in shock. And can you blame her? She hadn’t scored a point all season. Her team hadn’t scored on the power play in two months. Her program had not defeated Northeastern in the Beanpot in six years. So when the Boston University women’s hockey team heckled its hero Tuesday night, it took […]
There have only been a handful of times that this blog has been involved in international hockey events with our neighbors to the south, but the arrival of today’s news in my email may change that.
