The lead story here for Terrier fans is the dreadful news that the Eagles of BC have moved on to yet another Frozen Four. That means their 4th appearance in 5 seasons, and 9th in 13. They didn't exactly get by Yale the way you would have expected, though.
The Eagles won the game 9-7, in what looked more like a low-scoring basketball game than a hockey game. Cam Atkinson had a hat trick in the game, and Brian Gibbons scored two of his own to push the Eagles to a 4 goal second and 3 goal third to win the game.

After the game, Coach Jerry York told the media that he simply doesn't care how they win, as long as they get the job done. “Our objective is to win and advance. The game is always different. Would I like a 1-0 game over a 9-7 game? To me, it doesn’t matter. I just want to win games.”
The Eagles will get our old friends, the Redhawks of Miami Ohio in the Frozen Four. Miami used their own magic to get to Detroit, winning in double overtime thanks to an Alden Hirschfeld game winner. Miami beat the Michigan Wolverines 3-2 to advance to their second straight frozen four.
It wasn't easy for the Redhawks, as netminder Connor Knapp turned away a whopping 55 of 57 Michigan shots to keep Miami in the game and eventually win it. That includes an incredible 20 saves in the first overtime period.
BC and Miami will join Voldemort's Wisconsin team and RIT in Detroit on Thursday, April 8th for the Frozen Four. RIT and Wisconsin have the 5 P.M. game, and BC and Miami get the 8:30 P.M. start time. RIT beat New Hampshire in the Albany Final to move on.
