A Weekend Wrap-up complete with a dusting of Virginia snow - CHS 1-12-25

College Hockey Scoreboard

It’s the #CollegeHockey Scoreboard Show for January 10-12, 2025. No, I’m not a slacker - this show’s more a hobby. There’s that other sport that involves cauliflower ear that’s my actual main job, so I was on the road doing things for that wrestling stuff back in my home state of Virginia where school systems pulled high school teams out of competition for what amounted to be a dusting of snow. That’s just soft. Not like here, where my wife shoveled the driveway AFTER putting the kids on the bus in the snow.  It’s no breakdowns, no analysis, it’s JUST. THE. SCORES. And this time - I really just mean ONLY the scores.


Men’s Weekend Recap:
In the Big Ten, #1 Michigan State took four of six points in its weekend series with Penn State, winning 6-4 on Friday before falling in a shootout after a 2-2 tie on Saturday. #3 Minnesota had a split weekend, losing 5-1 to #11 Ohio State on Friday but bouncing back with a dominant 6-1 win on Saturday. In Hockey East, #2 Boston College was upset 5-2 by Merrimack on Friday but rebounded with a 4-1 win on Saturday. #7 Maine swept #8 UMass Lowell, winning 3-1 and 2-1. #15 Boston University handled Vermont with a pair of decisive wins, 6-1 and 7-4. In the NCHC, #6 Denver swept Miami, taking 4-1 and 6-2 victories, while Minnesota-Duluth topped #10 St. Cloud State, winning 2-0 and 5-2. Omaha swept #13 Colorado College with scores of 5-2 and 3-1, and #14 North Dakota split their series with #16 Arizona State, losing 4-1 on Friday but claiming a 4-3 overtime win on Saturday.

No, I’m not going to play the semantics games with the differences in what a split is. So if you hear me say split, and it’s like a win and an OT win, don’t put too much thought into it - I clearly didn’t. I also think the USCHO voters might need to look at the NCHC teams a little bit differently after recent slides. Moving on.
