10:31 of ice time, 1 shot on net, 1 takeaway, 4 PIM.

w00t!! Go Joe!! Edhward's parents were there.

I voted but I didn't like any of the options. I thought things like this got named as a grass roots thing where they self named and it caught on

You mean like the blue fan group?

This is marketing think... the real problem is they feel like they need a name or something... far as I see... they dont

BC and UNH have announced partnerships with ESPN3 to broadcast their home games this season. Does anyone know if the Hawks home games will be available on ESPN3? It looks like the men's and women's basketball games will be on ESPN3 this season.

No idea, but goriverhawks.TV hasn't been updated for the new season, so that could be a good sign.

It's hard to believe there's only a week to go before the puck drops. According to ScottK the Hockey East Media day will be Tuesday so we'll get to see what the coaches poll look like. I believe the Hockey East Media poll will be out prior to that.

It's scheduled for Tuesday. Expect a bunch of releases that afternoon on the website.

Interesting scheduling by BU as they open their season with a game against Union Saturday night and then play an exhibition against PEI on Sunday.

It looks like the Hawks have a new equipment manager, Nicholas Lazor. Nicholas replaces Ron Grove who appears to have moved on to Notre Dame.

For those of us who are old fogies- who would have believed yrs ago we would poll above Maine, UNH and BC?

Won't lie ... after the first decade plus of watching Hockey East (1993-2002), I really believed that the Big Four would never change. Maybe someone would sneak in for a year or two, but the Big Four would consistently be there. Things have changed, and in my mind, definitely for the better.

USCHO preseason poll has Lowell 5th.

Forney and Lohin will wear the A's this season.

USCHO preseason poll has Lowell 5th.

I'm surprised they are ranked that high given the players they have lost. The USA today poll has them at #9 which is closer to what I was thinking.

2nd place in the HE coaches poll. They got 5 of the 11 1st place votes, nobody else had more than 2.

Has to be the weirdest voting in recent preseason polling right? 5 teams getting first place votes...

As for league TV, no deal announced. Many teams are working individual deals with NESN and/or ESPN3.
