USCHO has a great story about everything Scott Crowder is doing to expand the game of hockey, in scope and opportunity, since leaving UMass.

Joe Meloni has a UMass player on each side of his Three Up, Three Down feature.  I think it’s safe to say that Mike Pereira has not reacted as Coach Cahoon had hoped when he made him a healthy scratch against Vermont before Thanksgiving.  He was averaging 1.2 points per game prior to that game, since then he’s only averaging 0.5.  He has dropped from 3.1 shots per game to just 2.4 in that time.  Still the team is 4-2-2 since then as other players around Pereira have stepped up their game.

The awards continue to come in for Steve Mastalerz following his shoutout of BC as he and point guard Chaz Williams were named UMass Co-Athletes of the Week.
