►  @BUHockeyStats takes a look at opening week for both the men’s and women’s teams, including a little-known fact: When BU first played Holy Cross in 1929--a 4-0 BU shutout--the team was known as the Pioneers. After 1932, BU athletic teams were again called Terriers.

►The Athletic's Cory Pronman wrote about standout younger players he watched in the preseason, including a certain two-time All-American BU defenseman.

Lane Hutson, LHD, Montreal Canadiens

… Hutson’s puck play. He’s been one of Montreal’s better players in the preseason. He’s shown the same type of dynamic offensive tools he displayed in junior and college. Few defensemen walk the line and see the ice as he does. When he gets the puck, even versus men you see he can break down defenses at a high level with his skill, feet and elite brain. The question as he continues to face NHL competition will be his defending. His skating isn’t elite for a small guy like Quinn Hughes or Samuel Girard, and I’ve seen him get beat with speed a bit too easily. He will need to learn to survive in the NHL as Adam Fox does to manage defensively.

►Wilmer Skoog made a strong impression at his first NHL main camp, scoring twice in exhibition games (1, 2). However he was assigned to Florida’s AHL affiliate in Charlotte where he led the Checkers in goals last season with 22. Following the season, he was signed to a one-year NHL contract.

Terriers opened the 2024-2025 season with a dominating 7-1 win against Merrimack at Agganis Arena. BU's attack was led by three-point efforts by Captain Tamara Giaquinto and freshman Lola Reid and the Terrier power play clicked on three of six opportunities.

Giaquinto opened the scoring midway through the first period with a power-play goal midway through the first. The Warriors matched their own man-advantage score late in the period.

Reid scored at even strength early in the second, assisted by Giaquinto.Then power play goals 1:16 apart by transfer Lindsay Bochna and Giaquinto stretched the lead to 4-1.

BU kept the pressure on in the final period and put the game away with goals from junior Clara Yuhn, senior Ani Fitzgerald and freshman Kaleigh Quigg.

Terriers fired 33 shots on goal while limiting the Warriors to just 17. Sophomore Mari Pietersen stopped 16 shots to gain the win.

BU now heads to Minnesota for a weekend series with the Golden Gophers.
