Both the men's and women's team will play home-and-home series with Hockey East rivals this weekend. The women are at Merrimack today and home on Friday, while the men are home Friday against Lowell--the final doubleheader of the semester--and at Tsongas Arena Saturday.

Let's begin with two podcasts and a preview of the two series. 

 Join Bernie Corbet and Allison DeWitt for today's IBUH conversations.

Looking ahead

2025 recruit Jack Murtagh scored twice, including the overtime game-winner as the NTDP U18s defeated Sweden, 3-2, in the opening game of the Five Nations Tournament in the Czech Republic.  The East Greenbush, N.Y., native was named U.S. Player of the Game.

Murtagh, a 6'1", 198 left wing, missed nine games earlier this season due to an injury, but is second on the U18s with nine points (6G,3A) in six games. 

2025 or 2026 recruit Carter Amico, a 6'6" defenseman, assisted on the third U.S. goal.

The U18s continue Five Nations play tomorrow evening in Sobeslav, Czechia. Team USA will square off with Finland at 12:00 p.m. ET. The game can be streamed live on CzechIceHockey.tv

USA Hockey recap

 

2025 recruit Callum Hughes scored a short-handed goal, assisted by fellow recruit Jack Pridham, as West Kelowna blanked Penticton, 3-0. It was the team-leading eighth goal for Hughes, who, contrary to the item we posted Tuesday, has not left the BCHL for the USHL. Pridham, a Chicago Blackhawks draft pick, recorded his fifth assist.

Haoxi Simon Wang’s trio of assists helped King Rebellion rally from a 4-1 deficit in the third period to beat Markham, 6-5 in OJHL action. He assisted on both the tying goal in the third and the game-winner on a power play in overtime. The 6’6” left-shot defenseman is #50 in Scott Wheeler’s ranking for the 2025 NHL draft.
