Non-conference action continued this past weekend, with AHA teams picking up a couple big wins. But the conference’s slow start continued overall. AHA teams went 2-5-3 in out of conference action. In the lone conference game, Canisuis upset RIT in Buffalo. (more…)

Unlike last weekend, AHA teams were on the right side of some games this weekend. RIT came up big against St. Lawrence, winning 6-5 in overtime, while Air Force, Holy Cross, and UConn all won their first conference games of the year. But the rest of the AHA didn’t do as well. Canisius was outplayed and demolished by Quinnipiac, while Sacred Heart was swept by Clarkson. (more…)

Several Atlantic Hockey teams put up strong showings in the weekend of play, but no AHA teams earned a victory.

Air Force had a lead on North Dakota entering the third period before the Fighting Sioux scored twice to steal a win. While the Falcons didn’t get the win, the fact that they stayed with and were beating the No. 3-ranked team for most of the game must give them some confidence. And, without Jacques Lamoureaux and Derrick Burnett this season, this should make Falcon fans very happy.

One of the more surprising teams this weekend was American International. The Yellow Jackets were swept by Michigan Tech, but they were very competitive and even had a lead entering the third period of the first game. And while they couldn’t hold the lead, it’s definitely a good sign for the future of the Yellow Jackets.
