Before the season started, Boston University men’s hockey coach Jack Parker said he thought the University of Maine would be the most improved team in Hockey East. But even he didn’t think the Black Bears would be this good.
“I thought they had a chance to be fighting for home ice,” Parker said after Wednesday’s practice. “I did not think they’d have a chance to win first place.”
Yet, the No. 12 Black Bears (14-9-3, 11-6-2) have that chance. They enter this weekend’s series with the Terriers (11-12-3, 8-9-2) tied with No. 10 Boston College for second in the league with 24 points, three behind the No. 15 University of New Hampshire.
Faceoff at Agganis Arena is set for 7:30 p.m. Friday and 7 p.m. Saturday.
