Providence College is halfway to a fifth straight 20-win season. Brown University is on track to hit double figures in wins for the first time in four seasons.
With the second half of the college hockey season about to get started and the Mayor’s Cup dead ahead, it’s time to take stock of how the Friars and Bears got here and where they could be headed.
We’ll start with 11th-ranked PC, which is 10-7-1 overall going into Friday’s game against Arizona State in the Three Rivers Classic in Pittsburgh. While the Friars rank 12th in the PairWise and are tied for third in Hockey East, it feels like they left a win or two on the table through the first 18 games (even if there are approximately four dozen Division I programs that would gladly trade places).
