With the first BU BC matchup of the year at the Newton Hellhole coming up this Friday, it only seems fair that we look back at my personal favorite moment in Conte Forum history.
As myself and hordes of other Terriers' fans made the trek on the green line down the road to Boston College, we expected to see a hockey game. But that's not what we got. We bore witness to a clownfest.
Apparently the people in charge of the facilities at BC don't know that ice is cold. Because of this oversight, they didn't utilize the arena's air conditioning system. On an unseasonably warm day, it got hot as balls inside the hellhole, and, well the ice melted.
Without sufficient cooling and a melting ice surface, the water turned to an incredibly thick fog. From the stands there was zero visibility, and from the ice it was apparently just as bad.
As Parker told the FreeP, "I said [to referee Scott Hansen], 'What are you gonna do here? This is getting dangerous. My goalie says he can't see the puck,'" said BU coach Jack Parker. "[Hansen] said 'I don't blame him, I can't see the puck either.'

Oh Hansen, you clown. You and Tim Benedetto are the bane of my existence. This is what happens when you screw us.
Take that as a warning, Scott.
Anyway, the ice melted, and we all had to go home. What a shit show.
So for this Friday, I have this message for the facilities manager at BC: ice is cold. Take notice.
