Quailer to miss time with ACL injury

October 6th, 2009

WRBB has confirmed from a source familiar with the team that Steve Quailer suffered an ACL injury during the team’s exhibition game against St. Thomas. At this time it is not known if Quailer will need surgery, or the severity of the injury. Quailer was seen on campus walking without crutches.

However, if it is a torn ACL, the timetable is generally 6-7 months without strain on the knee. Someone of Quailer’s physical ability might be able to shorten that by a few months if rehabilitation goes well. If it is only an ACL strain, the timetable for return could be as short as two months.

Last season with the Huskies, Quailer scored 10 goals and added 15 assists. Quailer was named to the 2008 Hockey East All-Rookie Team. Quailer was also a 2008 Montreal Canadiens 3rd round draft pick.

Stay tuned to WRBB for further details.

Northeastern involved in Winter Classic

August 12th, 2009

Hockey East announced today that a press conference will be held at Fenway Park on August 20 to announce the college component of the 2010 Winter Classic. Numerous media outlets including the Boston Herald and WEEI.com have confirmed that a Boston College-Boston University men’s game will be preceded by a New Hampshire-Northeastern women’s game. As of now the women are scheduled to play UNH on January 8 at Matthews Arena, one can assume with a fair amount of accuracy that indeed is the game that will be moved to Fenway Park.

No word yet on if seperate tickets will be needed for women’s and men’s game of if it’s a Beanpot-like single ticket event.
