Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2013/03/28_chn_rookie_of_the_year_jon.php Providence made another big leap this year, the second under coach Nate Leaman. And a lot of that was because of freshman goalie Jon Gillies. Gillies, a member of the United States' gold-medal-winner World Junior team this past year, finished the season 17-12-6 with a 2.08 goals against average and .931 save percentage. Without him in the lineup, the Friars were 0-2-1. For all of that, he's been named ... Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2013/03/22_just_not_enough.php There's no question that Jon Gillies was the backbone of Providence's success all season long. His dominant rookie campaign carried a young Friars team to the Hockey East semifinals, and his dominant second half put them within reach of a league championship and at-large bid to the NCAA tournament. But as good as Gillies has been all year, there was a clear deficiency in goal-scoring, and that caught ... Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2013/03/22_hockey_east_semifinal_preview.php The matchups couldn't be more different. One boasts a battle between two teams that have gone from Hockey East bottom dwellers to title contenders in a matter of two seasons under new coaching regimes. The other matches up long-time rivals, all too familiar with success, and could possibly mark the end of a historic coaching career. That'll be the scene at TD Garden when regular-season champion Massachusetts-Lowell ... Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2013/03/22_third_lines_the_charm.php Providence's third line was on fire last Friday night in Game 1 of the Friars' quarterfinal series against New Hampshire. So much so, in fact, that by Saturday's game freshman Nick Saracino and sophomores Ross Mauermann and Shane Luke weren't the third line anymore, and were listed as second for the remainder of the weekend. The line produced a combined nine points on the weekend, and its success ... Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2013/03/21_gaudreau,_gillies,_bazin_earn.php Boston College sophomore Johnny Gaudreau, who earlier in the day was named a Hobey Baker Award finalist, was named Hockey East Player of the Year on Thursday evening. Gaudreau opened his second season with at least one point in each of his first 12 games, including nine goals and nine assists during a 10-game win streak for the Eagles. He closed the regular season in equally dramatic fashion, scoring ... Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2013/03/19_past_against_future.php There aren't many constants in college hockey in 2013. Conference realignment, overtures from professional leagues and recruiting competition from Canadian Hockey League teams mean change comes even faster than it always has. In Hockey East, though, there have been a few constants for most of the last two decades. New Hampshire's Dick Umile, Boston University's Jack Parker and Boston College's Jerry ... Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2013/03/14_hockey_east_tournament_preview.php For the first time in 29 years, the Hockey East regular season ended without Boston College, Boston University, Maine or New Hampshire atop the league standings. 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 ... Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2013/03/01_all_four_one.php For much of the early Hockey East season it was a considered obvious that Boston College, New Hampshire and Boston University would be the main contenders for the Hockey East regular season title. 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 ... Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2013/02/13_gillies_making_his_mark_at.php When Jon Gillies arrived with his Providence team to UNH earlier in the season, he wasn’t the first Gillies goaltender to set foot onto the UNH ice. From 1980-85, Jon’s father Bruce was a mainstay at old Snively Arena for UNH, and in his final two seasons he guided the Wildcats as their starter. He posted a 3.97 GAA, a 35-31-6 record, and .894 save percentage. “It is pretty special for Jon ... Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2013/02/07_impending_snow_prompts_weekend.php An impending blizzard predicted to hit New England this weekend has already prompted the postponement of all four of Friday's Hockey East games. The game between Northeastern and Massachusetts in Amherst, Mass., has been postponed until Tuesday, Feb. 19 at the same time (7 p.m.). Boston University has moved its game against Merrimack, originally scheduled for Friday at 7:30 p.m., to Wednesday, Feb. ... Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100
