The Massachusetts hockey team closed out the regular season in uninspiring fashion, getting outscored 10-1 by the #5 Providence Friars in a weekend sweep. UMass finished their regular season with a record of 8-22-4 and went 2-21-3 over their last 26 games. Both of the most recent two wins came in overtime against two lower end Atlantic Hockey teams. UMass went 2-16-4 in Hockey East play, finishing in last place for the second straight season. The team went 0-15-3 in their final 18 league games and for that performance they’ll travel to Boston University for the first round of the Hockey East playoffs in what should be the final games of the John Micheletto era at UMass.

View From Balcony 322: Why Not Us? (Go Friars!)
On Thursday I was at the TD Garden with 18,000 other diehard college hockey fans from across the country to experience the wonderful event that is the Frozen Four. If you haven’t attended a Frozen Four before, I highly recommend it. As big as college hockey is in some of our lives it’s still has a relatively small hardcore following, so it’s a lot of fun to get all those fans together in one place at one time. It’s interesting to see all the different jerseys and traditions of programs you don’t typically interact with much.

Support FTT
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!
