Minnesota is in the B1G.

Thoughts this deserved a mention, Jimmy & Kevin Hayses' dad was declared cancer free yesterday. Great news.

Updated with UMass, should be complete now.

4 Sunday home games, unreal.

Assumed incorrectly, we are playing Alabama Huntsville in the Mariuccui Classic.

RedBaron67 {l Wrote}:With the addition of Adam Gilmour, BC now has 5 forwards definitely scheduled for 2013:

Chris Calnan
Austin Cangelosi
Ryan Fitzgerald
Adam Gilmour
Conor McGlynn

With so many forwards coming in next year, and only 3 forwards scheduled so far for this year to replace 4 leaving (Almeida, Atkinson, Carey, Kreider), there seems to be a good possibility that York will bring in Evan Richardson for 2012-13 rather than wait until 2013. Does anyone have any information on this?

Richardson is being pushed back to 2013

Schedule finally published by BC.

Yay for being the last team in D1 to publish a schedule!

MLB just released the schedule..Cincy at Pittsburgh during the weekend of the Frozen Four. Friday should be a great opportunity for people to see PNC Park (the best of the new parks that I have visited)

BTW according to the BC hockey twitterbox feed, coach champion had hernia surgery and is doing fine

Destry Straight back on the ice after missing the last week of practice with a back problem

As a heads up, individual game tickets for some select games went on sale yesterday:

asst coach Greg Brown got promoted to Assoc HC like Cav

he's not practicing, I assume it's back related again

HE media day today so some updates:

Some preseason polls have come out, not much surprise

USA Today has us #1 tied with Minnesota http://www.hockeyjournal.com/news/colleges/hockey_east/2011-12/BC-_Minnesota_tie_for_top_spot_in_USA_Today_preseason_poll
HE media has us #1 (not unanimously)
HE coaches have us #1 (unanimously, you can't vote for your own team so York voted for UNH) http://www.hockeyeastonline.com/men/pres1213/201209/sep25poll.php

Rumor according to the kid Frank Vatrano is out, nothing confirmed

His rights are owned by moncton in the Q

I'm hearing he's USHL bound and that his departure isn't voluntary.

I can confirm the 2nd aspect, not the first

BC might be releasing a statement which leads me to believe this is above York and the typical violation of team rules

Sounds like it

how in the world can it be academic they are three weeks into his first sememster at the school. Either he just flat out refuses to go to school, or they have decided that he in no way shape or form can handle even a minimal academic workload. the surprising thing here is that usually BC admissions does a good job denying admission to these types oif kids before they hit campus.

What if they cheat? hypothetically

Hypothetically of course

Hypothetically cheating on a test through seeking assistance of a neighbor or something more hypothetically nefarious than that?

Mike McMahon ‏@MikeMcMahonET
According to several well-placed sources, Vatrano left BC over an "academic issue" which stemmed from an admissions test

USHR finally weighs in:

"Incoming Boston College freshman LW Frankie Vatrano has left the Heights after learning that he had failed to get through the NCAA Clearinghouse."

Fire Spaz {l Wrote}:Hypothetically cheating on a test through seeking assistance of a neighbor or something more hypothetically nefarious than that?

Hypothetically more nefarious (see Claver's post immediately below your post)

I wish BUC was here to point out that this is worse than the "culture" down the street.

Mike McMahon ‏@MikeMcMahonET
USHR reports there is no chance Frank Vatrano returns to Boston College. A BC source pretty much told me the same thing tonight as well.
