At No. 13 Merrimack College tonight. Versus No. 3 Boston College on Friday. At No. 7 University of New Hampshire on Saturday. At No. 10 University of Maine next Friday and Saturday. That is the daunting task staring down the No. 15 Boston University men’s hockey team to close out the month of January.
“I think we understand how important these next two weeks are for Hockey East and for the NCAA Tournament,” said senior co-captain Joe Pereira. “We’re playing to separate the boys from the men…These next two weeks are going to decide if we’re a good team or a bad team, if we’re too young or if we’re ready to play.”
That process begins tonight when the Terriers (10-5-6, 7-3-4 Hockey East) travel to North Andover to take on Merrimack at 7 p.m. Although the Warriors (12-4-4, 6-4-3 HE) are not a traditional powerhouse like BC, UNH and Maine, it would be unwise to think they are going to be any easier of an opponent.
