WEEKEND PREVIEW:
Friday
AIC has played three games so far, losing to Maine 6-0 and tying Ohio State 3-3 before falling to the Buckeyes 5-2. They return most of their roster from last season, but lost their two top scorers to graduation. In their three games played so far, junior Josh Barnes leads the Yellowjackets with three points, followed by John Lundy, who has two points. Danny Weight, who played at BC for the 2020-21 season before transferring to Colorado College, is spending his grad season at AIC and has one assist so far. All three AIC goalies have gotten some time in net, but junior Chase Clark has started two games and is likely who the Eagles will see in goal on Friday night. Clark has a .915 save percentage so far, with a 3.43 GAA.
Saturday
On Saturday, the Eagles will take on the USNTDP U-18 team in an exhibition matchup. The U-18 team has played four college teams already, going 1-3. Center Will Moore is a BC commit, so it should be a great opportunity to see him in action before he lands on the Heights next season, along with a number of future Hockey East players!
