A note to our readers ahead of the 2019-20 season

BHB Readers,

The return of Boston University hockey is very nearly upon us! We have big plans in the works for this season, and appreciate your continued support as we seek to provide high-quality coverage of BU hockey from the opening puck drop this fall to the final buzzer in the spring. We couldn’t be more excited to start a new season, and hope you share our enthusiasm in anticipation of the Terriers taking the ice in just a few short weeks. The next seven months will be a wild ride, and we can’t wait to experience it, share it, and enjoy it with you.

Go BU,

Brady Gardner
