Every time I watch highlights of games at Merrimack I’m reminded of the bread box they call Lawler Arena. You can tell how small it is by how close the camera is to the ice and the sparse group of people standing at one end. It makes me want to go to stick and puck at the Essex high school rink.
Here are the highlights and postgame:
Dennehy – Merrimack head coach
Joe Cannata – Merrimack goalie

Vermont is heading down to North Andover this weekend to square off against an achieving Merrimack squad, a split would be a fine result. Vermont is one point out of eighth place, behind a crumbling Providence team who hasn’t won a Hockey East game since November 5th. Providence plays two against UNH this weekend and will be in Burlington next weekend. A split against Merrimack would most likely send UVM (more…)

Hockey East #5-#9: remaining strength of schedule

Nerd alert! I went ahead and put together a remaining strength of schedule chart for teams ranked 5-9 in Hockey East. Here are the current standings:
1. BC (26pts) 2. UNH (24pts) 3. BU (20pts) 4. Maine (19pts) 5. Merrimack (17pts)
6. Northeastern (16pts) 7. UMass (13pts) 8. Providence (10pts) 9. UVM (9pts)
10. UMass Lowell (6pts)
I consider the top four in Hockey East to be at their own level, some shifting between them may happen before the end of the season, maybe not. Merrimack is sort of in a class of their own, good, but to be considered a real threat to win Hockey East or make a dent on the national level they will need to finish strong, which could easily happen.
