Two weeks ago, UNH hockey held an Open Practice at the Everett Arena in Concord,.along with a “meet the team/autograph session”. I went up to this and met my friends and fellow season ticket holders Joe, Donna, Julie and Michael. It was nice to see the team in a non-game environment. Its also a great…

People often ask me “You’ve been to so many Frozen Fours, which is your favorite”. That’s a really good question. “Favorite” could have many definitions such as location, your favorite team winning, or your least favorite team losing. Or you had the best time on the off day.

After the holiday craziness, I’ve decided to get back to sharing some of my college hockey experiences.

It is so nice to be able to watch players that you saw and got to know in college playing professional hockey. I have had the great of seeing two UNH alumni play in the ECHL. In 2021 my friend Julie and I went up to Portland to see Patrick Grasso and the Adirondack Thunder…

Another great tradition in college hockey is the UNH Fish – when UNH scores their first goal, a fish gets thrown out on the ice in the direction of the opponent’s goalie. I used to work with someone who played hockey for Northeastern. He told me that he was almost hit by the fish when…
