UMass heading to Conte Forum to take on BC in Hockey East tournament

The Massachusetts hockey team is riding late season momentum into the Hockey East tournament, but still finds itself in the opening round, taking on No. 8 seeded Boston College at Conte Forum on Wednesday night. On top of its struggles within conference play this season, and the fact that the Minutemen (13-16-5, 7-14-3 HEA) are 0-3 against the Eagles (13-15-6, 8-11-5 HEA), this will be the quickest turnaround of the season for UMass, which alters preparation for the playoffs.
