Friday night, the Wildcats defeated Denver in the first round and advanced fourth straight time. Unfortunately for UNH, the end result was the same -- no Frozen Fours since 2003, and more bitter disappointment for a program that still longs for its first national title. “The ...

Though exceptions certainly exist, there is almost always a correlation between possession differential and the result on the ice. With two of New Hampshire's top centers out of the game injured, it was likely that faceoffs would prove a critical role in deciding the outcome. Though the Wildcats proved that they could still win the puck and maintain possession, they ...

Both players left Friday's 5-2 win over Denver and did not return. Their injuries are being categorized as "upper body." Goumas leads the Wildcats with 32 assists and 42 points. Downing is tied for the team lead in goals with 15, and he ranks third in points ...

Given that DeSmith's play has largely dictated Wildcat success, it was a perhaps a harbinger of another NCAA loss for the UNH faithful after DeSmith allowed two of those shots to slip past him. But intermission exists for teams to make ...

Despite every season being anew, the memories of seasons past linger. It is a cruel story at times to them, and it just never seems like a New Hampshire team clicks at the right time -- this year may go down as another perfect example of that. The stories of Frozen Fours more than a decade ago are slowly ...

Wisconsin and Massachusetts-Lowell both rode massive hot streaks to their respective conference championships, while New Hampshire and Denver both struggled in the second half for consistency, relying upon strong first halves to earn at-large bids. The Manchester Regional quickly became the “group ...

Massachusetts-Lowell won its first regular-season title since joining the conference in 1984. The River Hawks ranked second in both the coaches and media polls at the beginning of a year following the resurgence Norm Bazin led last season ...

But that hasn't panned out -- BC and UNH descended into inconsistency, while BU has struggled mightily since the dawn of the second half. Entering Tuesday night Providence, New Hampshire and Boston College ...

Five months of rehabilitation and half a junior season later, Correale finally walked onto the campus of UNH in the fall of 2012. He has done nothing but relish the opportunities since. Correale was ... Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100
