On the right is a picture taken earlier this week at practice, showing off the new scoreboards, which make their debut tomorrow against Providence. Also - a reminder for fans heading to Tsongas Arena tonight - UMass Lowell defenseman Barry Goers is still collecting old cell phones for his Cell Phones For Soliders campaign. Thus far, Goers has collected over 180 phones and $225 cash in donations since the Dec. 5th launch. The donated phones will be sold with proceeds used to purchase calling cards for troops overseas. Each phone provides troops abroad with an hour of talk time. Fans are encouraged to bring their old cell phones to all remaining home hockey dates.

Lil Bit Special Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 In his latest "From the Desk of the AD" newsletter posted on the Merrimack athletics website, athletic director Glenn Hofmann touched on many topics pertaining to the hockey program (and the other sports at Merrimack - check out the full letter by clicking here). > "Speaking of hockey our program in essence is being judged on a yearly basis by Hockey East in this respect. There are certain standards that all programs must meet if they are to stay in the conference. While scoreboards were not part of those standards we did install new scoreboards in the Lawler Rink just last week. The new boards now give us the capability to show graphics and keep our fans more involved in games. What is a part of Hockey East standards are chairback seats and that is a major component of this summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Bit Special Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Looking to bounce back from two tough losses, the #19 UMass Lowell River Hawks (12-9-2, 6-6-2 HE) host a pair of games in the Tsongas Arena this weekend. First up, rival Merrimack rolls into town for a Friday night battle, scheduled for 7 p.m. Tonight will mark the 106th all-time meeting between the valley rivals, dating back to their respective Division II days. UMass Lowell holds a 66-31-8 series lead and is currently riding a six-game winning streak against the Warriors. When hosting Merrimack, the River Hawks are 36-15-3 overall and 12-4-2 since the opening of the Tsongas Arena. The programs have clashed once already this season as the River Hawks prevailed, 6-3, in the Tsongas Arena. Chris Auger (Belleville, Ont.) tallied five points (1g, 4a) en route to claiming Hockey East's Player of the Week honor. Join the River Hawks, Lowell General Hospital and Jeanne D'Arc Credit Union on Friday night in the fight against cancer! Proceeds from all ticket sales will be donated to LGH's TeamWalk for Cancer Care. Also, the first 1,000 fans will receive a free burrito, courtesy of Moe's Southwest Grill. The following night, the 2008 NCAA Champion Eagles swoop into Lowell for their 89th all-time game against the River Hawks. Characters from the popular Star Wars movies will be in attendance on Saturday and available for photos with fans beginning at 6PM in the lobby. Get in on the act yourself and dress up as your favorite Star Wars character! Also, Alley-Oop the Clown will be twisting balloons prior to the game. Fans are encouraged to continue donating old cell phones to support Barry Goers' (Ivyland, PA) efforts with the Cell Phones for Soldiers program. Those who donate this weekend will receive a pair of free tickets to UMass Lowell's game on Feb. 26th, against Providence. The donated phones are sold with proceeds used to purchase calling cards for troops overseas. Since the program's launch on Dec. 5th, over 160 phones and $200 in donations have been collected. Tickets are still available for this weekend by visiting the Tsongas Arena box office or by calling Ticketmaster at (617) 931-2222. Have a group of 20+? Call Scott Donnelly at 978-934-4988 for ticket information and group rates. UMass Lowell Athletics Ice Hockey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Wellman netted a hat trick, James Marcou had an astounding five assists, and the team was able to capitalize on 3 of 6 power plays en route to a 6-2 victory. From that point however the teams have fared quite differently. Vermont has gone 7-2-1 since that Thanksgiving week game and currently find themselves 12th in the pairwise. The road since Burlington for the Minutemen has had its share of bumps, starting with the very next game at Quinnipiac and the worst of the rockiness occurred with successive losses in which the team gave up 14 goals.

Merrimack is no joke at home with a 9-1-0 record at that sh%t hole they call an arena. LBS: You heading to Amherst on Friday for the game? That game may set the all time attendance record at Mullins.

Lil Bit Special Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Standings after the weekend: 1. UNH 27 pts (18 games) t2. BC 22 points (18 games) t2. UMass 22 points (19 games) 4. Maine 20 points (17 games) 5. Lowell 18 points (17 games) 6. BU 16 points (18 games) t7. UVM 15 points (17 games) t7. Northeastern 15 points (18 games) 9. Merrimack 12 points (16 games) 10. Providence 9 points (18 games) Huge weekend for Lowell coming up with BU @ Tsongas and then Merrimack at Volpe. If Lowell doesn't pick up 3 or 4 points then home ice is pretty much out of the question as they have only 8 games left after this weekend. Merrimack is no joke at home with a 9-1-0 record at that sh%t hole they call an arena. LBS: You heading to Amherst on Friday for the game? That game may set the all time attendance record at Mullins. Its huge for you guys. Nope... Staying at home and watching it with the g/f... if it wasnt on Tv i would probably go. With the Super Bowl on SUnday and other plans Sat, going friday is a tough sell... especially after dragging her to BU friday... BTW... got her to hate BU with a passion... called the fans a bunch of dooshies. I would love to see 'Mack make the playoffs, hopefully they can pick up enough points without hurting our teams....
