It begins once more.
Following last week’s slate of exhibition games against Canadian
schools, along with a couple of non-conference outings, the 2013-14 NCAA Division
I Men’s Ice Hockey campaign swings into full gear this weekend starting tonight, when Colgate visits
RIT and Boston College drops in on Michigan. The schedule then picks up on Friday
and Saturday with the Mariucci Classic in Minneapolis
and the Kendall Classic in Anchorage, plus a
slew of non-conference contests that will extend through Sunday afternoon when Rensselaer visits B.C.
Hard to believe it’s college hockey season again, with the MLB
postseason and the NFL regular season both in full swing, and the NHL having
just gotten underway itself. Still, just 184 days from now, a new Division I
national champion will be crowned in Philadelphia.
The last six years have seen Yale, B.C., Minnesota-Duluth,
B.C., Boston University, and B.C. skate off with the NCAA
trophy. We’ll see if that trend continues, or if someone else will break
through this time out in an even-numbered season. After last year’s national tournament, whereby Yale literally
came out of nowhere to win it all, anything can—and most likely will—happen.
Buckle up.
