The Massachusetts hockey team was in need of at least a split this weekend out in South Bend against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The Minutemen were coming off of a sweep at the hands of #3 Quinnipiac the weekend before and were winless in their previous six. They also had yet to show that they could get a Hockey East win outside of the teams currently at the bottom of the league standings. After a surprisingly strong start through early November fans have been waiting for UMass to take the next step and show they can compete with the teams in the top half of the league. Instead it looks like the team has taken a step back. The latest setback was Notre Dame sweeping UMass’ last league games before winter break 3-1 and 5-1.

Fear The Triangle will always be free. But there is some investment associated with providing first-hand coverage of UMass hockey. Specifically, domain hosting, travel, game streams, and ticket costs all add up. Not to mention the hours spent every day reading and writing about UMass hockey. I'll continue to do this for the foreseeable future even if it runs me into financial ruin (it won't, I think) and my wife divorces me (hopefully just as unlikely). But if you enjoy what you read here and want to show your support, here is a link to contribute to FTT via PayPal.
As always, thanks for reading!
