...broke towards Fisher on a breakaway, but his point-blank shot was rebuffed by the Bobcats’ rookie goalie, who notched 19 saves through two periods. The Crimson skaters “weren’t happy losing to us five weeks ago,” Bobcats coach Rand Pecknold said, “and they came ready to play.” “Harvard had the better intensity, and they won most of the battles, and we just didn’t generate a lot of shots on Daigneau,” he added...

...legend Gordie Howe, honorary chairman of the school’s Hudson United Bank Center campaign for new hockey and basketball arenas. “I think a lot of people in the Quinnipiac community would have been happy with us having a close game,” coach Rand Pecknold said. But it wasn’t even close, at least not at the end. The Bobcats drubbed the Crimson 5-2, and just minutes after the final buzzer, Pecknold deemed it the “best win in Quinnipiac history.” Rookie goalie Bud Fisher collected...
