Inside BU Hockey talks with the coaches; BHB/DFP "The Hockey Issue"; recruits shine in USHL, BCHL

 It's BU Hockey preview season!

Episode 1 of Inside BU Hockey, featuring Bernie Corbett’s interview with Jay Pandolfo and Tara Watchorn, was recorded during last week’s Meet & Greet at the newly renovated BU Bookstore. Corbett revealed that there will be 20 episodes of IBUH this season, presented by new sponsored, Wicked Bagels of Watertown.

 

Next week, we’ll post the 3rd annual Terrier Hockey Fan Blog season preview podcast, featuring Corbett, Mark Linehan, Terrier Takeaway analyst Doug Freeman and THFB editor Rick Sacks.

 

The Boston Hockey Blog’s annual hockey preview is out in print (Daily Free Press) and online. Print copies will be available at the Women’s season opener on Oct. 1 against Merrimack and at the Men’s opener on October 5 against Holy Cross.

Once again, the BHB/Freep’s hockey writers have authored incisive and revealing feature articles to prep fans for the upcoming seasons. Women’s team articles are below.
