Later in the second period of Game 2, junior defenseman Noah Welch made for UVM forward Chris Smart, knocking him to the surface with an open-ice hit. Straddling the prone Catamount’s shoulders, Welch reached down and tore Smart’s helmet from his head, sending it skidding away while its owner raced to the official in protest, to no avail...

The College’s mental health task force, created last December to address the rising number of concerns on campus, must make effective centralization...
