BOSTON – For the bulk of Saturday’s game at Fenway Park, it was a one goal affair. But at every turn, each time the Huskies tried to come back into the game, an untimely penalty, a bad bounce, seemed to doom their effort. It was yet another 1-goal game against Boston College, the seventh game in a row the Huskies and Eagles have decided their game by a goal or less. But in the end, the 1-goal result was one that has become familiar against the Eagles: a loss.

The Boston Red Sox and Hockey East jointly announced today that the second renewal of the Sun Life Frozen Fenway would have two additions: Boston College will play Northeastern in a primetime showcase, preceded by a high school rivalry game of Catholic Memorial vs. B.C. High. The BC/NU game will start at 6:00 p.m., while the preceding game will start at 3:00 p.m. No word yet on any television coverage.
From a Red Sox press release:
“After the January 7th hockey doubleheader at Fenway Park sold out in less than a week, we wanted to offer hockey fans another opportunity to watch an outdoor game at the ballpark this winter,” Red Sox executive vice president and chief operating officer Sam Kennedy said in a statement. “The addition of these two games also gives Boston residents a rare chance to see two popular local teams compete at both the high school and collegiate level.”
From a Northeastern press release:
“Our hope at Northeastern is for our student-athletes to make memories that will last them a lifetime,” Northeastern Director of Athletics Peter Roby said. “Playing hockey against Boston College at Fenway Park as part of its 100th year celebration will certainly be a memory our players, coaches, alumni and fans will never forget”.
The marquee matchup will be the 214th installment of the Northeastern – Boston College series. The Eagles have won three-fourths of the decisions and hold a 152-46-14 advantage since the first game was played on Feb. 3, 1933 (BC, 8-6). It will also stand as the 84th Hockey East matchup between the Huskies and Eagles with BC owning a 50-24-8 (.343) edge in 82 league contests.

Andrew Merritt of the MetroWest Daily News reported today via Twitter that an announcement is expected to reveal Boston College and Northeastern as the teams to take part in a third college hockey game at Fenway Park in January:
Official announcement's coming, but word is there's more hockey to come at Fenway Park: BC vs. Northeastern, Jan. 14. Gametime is 6 p.m. If this is indeed the case, it would be the second outdoor hockey opportunity for both programs. The Boston College men’s team took part in the inaugural Frozen Fenway in 2010 with a game against Boston University, while Northeastern’s women’s team played UNH in the opening game of the event.

Mike McMahon from the Eagle Tribune posted on Twitter earlier today that Fenway Park and Hockey East are exploring another doubleheader this winter, but the two games will not include one of the closest schools to Fenway: Northeastern
Reaction so far has been mixed, with some excited for the return of outdoor college hockey, others questioning why schools closer to Fenway such as Merrimack College (which went to the NCAA tournament this past season) and one of Fenway’s advertising partners, Northeastern University, are to be left out.
Participation by Maine and UNH was originally reported by the Bangor Daily News last week.

January brought a glut of games, a historical winning streak for the basketball team, and an unforgettable trip to Fenway Park:
Despite losing to UNH 5-3, Northeastern women’s hockey entered the spotlight in front of thousands of fans at Fenway Park in a historic outdoor game, the first of its kind at the collegiate level.
In front of nearly 3,000 at Matthews Arena, Northeastern completed its historic sweep over the VCU Rams, giving the Huskies their 11th-consecutive victory.
Despite the winning streak coming to a close the game prior, Northeastern stormed back to a thrilling home victory over eventual CAA champions Old Dominion. This time, Matthews Arena broke the 3,000 attendance marker for the first time in years.
