October in Boston

October in Boston usually means great fall weather, the Head of the Charles Regatta, the Red Sox are fighting for the playoffs, the Pats are beginning their Super Bowl run and the Bruins have great hope for Lord Stanley. 

This year not only will we have our “normal” great sport events to watch, in one weekend in October the eyes of the DI College Hockey community will be focused on New England.  During the weekend of October 10^th and 11^th the following games will be played in the New England area: 

October 10, 2008 

Michigan State vs Massachusetts 

Wisconsin vs. Boston College 

North Dakota vs. Boston University 

October 11, 2008 

North Dakota vs Massachusetts 

Wisconsin vs. New Hampshire 

Michigan State vs. Boston University 

 

Later that week, Michigan State will be at U Lowell.  

Can’t wait for October……… 

On a side note, the bad news for me is in December North Dakota will be visiting Harvard. Normally this is great news to be able to see the Sioux back in the Boston area for a second time in one season.  But this is the BU VS. BC weekend, so I have a choice to make.   

There is no doubt on what I am going to do- I will be at Harvard supporting the Sioux.

WILSON TO STAY AT BU?

The Terrier Hockey Fan Blog  (a great blog for BU Hockey) reported the following: 

Colin Wilson, last season’s top Terrier freshman scorer and the 2008 first round draft choice of the Nashville Predators, has decided to return to BU for his sophomore season, according to several sources close to the program.

 

I hope this is true. It would be great to see Colin in Scarlet for one more year.
