2021-22 NCAA Hockey Campaign Begins

 

The 2021-22 college hockey season is now fully underway.

NCAA Division I men's hockey got started this weekend with several exhibitions, but also a number of regular-season contests. Frozen Four participant Minnesota State swept defending national champion and No. 1 ranked UMass in a pair of games in Amherst, Mass. 

National runner-up St. Cloud State welcomed St. Thomas to the Division I ranks with two wins in St. Paul, Minn. Lake Superior State split two contests at Omaha, while UMass Lowell did likewise at Arizona State and Ferris State did the same in two games against visiting Miami. Air Force posted a win and a tie at Colorado College, while Penn State defeated visiting LIU in their mutual opener on Saturday, with those two teams set to conclude their series tonight in University Park, Pa.

The U.S. Under-18 Team edged Notre Dame and blanked Michigan State, while Boston College topped AIC in another exhibition and Denver demolished club opponent and future NCAA member Lindenwood. Boston University, Michigan, RPI, St. Lawrence, Vermont, Western Michigan and Wisconsin also all won single exhibition outings.

The Division I women's season, which began last month with Colgate sweeping RIT, continued in earnest this past weekend with Boston College sweeping host Penn State. Ohio State brooming host Minnesota, and Boston University doing the same to visiting UNH.
