Just seven games into the college hockey season, the No. 16 Boston University men’s ice hockey team has been repeating certain themes that those around the program have been seeing for a few years now.

So we are always in a state of perpetual rebuilding, because we are only halfway there at every game.
Dump the ‘Halfway There’ song and we’ll finally make it all the way there!
