Congratulations to UMass Lowell River Hawks

On Saturday night, the UMass Lowell River Hawks men's hockey team won its first-ever Hockey East championship by defeating Providence College at PC's Schneider Arena. The River Hawk's are the top seed in the Hockey East playoffs which begin this Thursday at the UMass Lowell Tsongas Center with a best of three series against eighth seed University of Maine. Despite coming out on top of one of the most competitive conferences in the country, the River Hawks are still ranked only seventh in the coaches poll which should give the team plenty of extra motivation in the Hockey East and subsequent NCAA tournaments.
