Boston College at Merrimack
My first visit to Lawler Arena and it really is that dark. I’d actually really like the rink setup if the lighting was redone. They replaced the ice pad over the summer and plan to replace the bench-style seating with seat back seating next year. Not sure if it was on the renovation schedule, but something has to be done about the scoreboards as they didn’t work. Penalty times weren’t properly visible to the benches, goalies or officials and the end of the periods was announced by air horn. I would advise trying to get there this season in case some of the charm is lost with the seating changes. Just don’t put down anything. My favorite hoodie from the 2008 WJC somehow disappeared from the penalty box before the game.
The Merrimack College Warriors evened the weekend series with the Boston College Eagles with a 5-3 win.
