The Black Bears of the University of Maine have been excelling in college hockey, currently standing at third place in the nation for goals allowed per game. With a strong defensive performance led by goalie Albin Boija, Maine has been making strides in the Hockey East men’s standings, currently in second place behind Boston College.
Boija, with an impressive goals-against average and save percentage, has been a key player in Maine’s success this season. Coach Ben Barr has praised his mental fortitude and talent in front of the net. The team’s defense has been exceptional, not allowing more shots on goal than they take, and averaging the fewest shots allowed per game in the country.
Offensively, the Black Bears have been scoring consistently, with players like Harrison Scott and Taylor Makar leading the charge. Maine’s recent wins over Northeastern and UMass have moved them up in the PairWise rankings for NCAA Tournament selection, putting them in a good position for postseason play.
Looking ahead, Maine faces tough competition in upcoming games against Providence, as they continue to vie for the top spot in the Hockey East standings. With their solid defensive performance, offensive firepower, and strong team cohesion, the Black Bears are poised for continued success in the rest of the season.
