Men’s hockey 2009-10 schedule unveiled

The announcement of the Fenway game completes the Terriers’ 2009-10 schedule, which will be officially released on Friday.
BU will open the season on Friday, Oct. 16 at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst before raising its 2009 national championship banner on either Tuesday, Oct. 20 against the University of Notre Dame (the home-opener) or Saturday, Oct. 24 against Michigan (Alumni Weekend).
‘
Although the night of the banner raising has yet to be formally decided, a school official said he didn’t see any reason why it wouldn’t be raised before the Notre Dame game.
‘
In addition to the matchups with Notre Dame and Michigan, the out-of-conference schedule is highlighted by Red Hot Hockey against Cornell University at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Saturday, Nov. 28, and the Beanpot Tournament on the first two Mondays of February.
‘
The conference slate is highlighted, as always, by the three BC games: at home on Saturday, Dec. 5; at Fenway on Friday, Jan. 8; and at BC on Friday, Jan. 22. The Terriers conclude the regular season with a home-and-home series against Northeastern on the weekend of March 5 and 6.
