The UND hockey team has arrived in Boston.

The Fighting Hawks flew from Grand Forks to the airport in Bedford, Mass., on a charter flight Thursday. The plane landed at about 1:35 p.m. local time.

The views were beautiful coming in with the fall leaves changing colors. The temperatures are in the 40s — which feels nice after the snow in Grand Forks this week.

The Bedford airport is about a 30-minute drive to the Boston University area. The team had time to check into their hotel before heading across the Charles River to Agganis Arena, which opened in 2005. They unloaded their gear, then held an hour-long practice from 5-6 p.m.

As usual, the players held their weekly team shootout competition at the end of practice.

This week, the winner was freshman defenseman Jake Livanavage. He scored four times to outlast fellow rookies Jayden Perron and Abram Wiebe.

The team left Agganis and went straight to their Thursday night team meal.
