Amanda Hearst
DID YOU KNOW WE HAVE A HEIRESS AMONG OUR FORDHAM FAMILY?
Amanda Hearst is an American socialite born in New York City and she is also an heiress to the Hearst Family Fortune.* Hearst worked at Marie Claire, a Hearst Corp. property, where she was the associate marketing editor. 📷 (Photo 1)
She received her education from Fordham University (FCLC 2008) with a BA in Art History. Note: She started out at Boston College another Jesuit University.
Her great-grandfather was William Randolph Hearst.
The American newspaper publisher, and politician who developed the nation's largest newspaper chain and media company, Hearst Communications. He may best be remembered as the thinly veiled subject of the classic film Citizen Kane. Spoiler Alert: Rosebud was a sled.
Her aunt is Patty Hearst. The photo below comes from a terrible time in her life when she was kidnapped and under the influence of the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA). A small, American militant organization active between 1973 and 1975.
Hearst later claimed she was subjected to a series of ordeals while in SLA captivity; her mother later described these as "brainwashing". The announced change in Hearst's politics through the following months has been attributed to Stockholm Syndrome, a psychological response in which a hostage exhibits apparent loyalty to the abductor.
Patty Hearst's attorney F. Lee Bailey used the Stockholm Syndrome argument as part of her defense at trial. He claimed that she had been confined in a closet barely large enough for her to lie down in; that her contact with the outside world was regulated by her captors; and that she was regularly threatened with execution. 📷 (Photo 2)
She was convicted of the Hibernia Bank robbery, in San Francisco, and sentenced to seven years in prison. After she had been in prison for 21 months, US President Jimmy Carter commuted the sentence to time served. She was later pardoned by President Bill Clinton.

Amanda is a direct descendant of gold tycoon and future U.S. Senator George Hearst, whose ruthless-if exaggerated-business dealings in the 1870s American West became the central plot of HBO’s series Deadwood. The entire Hearst fortune can be traced back to these origins.
Her wedding, to Norwegian Film Director, Joachim Ronning,** was memorable by any standard. The 4 day celebration was held at Hearst Castle in California. The bride wore not one, but five gowns. (popsugar.com) 📷 (Photo 3)
Ronning's most recent film is entitled Young Woman and the Sea. It stars Daisy Ridley of the recent Star Wars reboots.
She is also a model. She is involved in Friends of Finn, a charity she founded, which is an organization that focuses on preventing and stopping puppy mills, which treat dogs inhumanely. 📷 (Photo 4)

SHAY COSTA REPORTING...CATCHING UP ON PAST COLLEGE AND WOLF PACK
EDITOR'S NOTE: Shay Costa worked hard covering these games and deserved to have them published. my full-time job has caused me to have to work close to 100 hours a week, and I haven't had the time to post them. Getting them all posted here is important. She deserves respect for the effort she put in... - Mitch Beck All stories by: Shay Costa - Howlings BOSTON, MA - On Friday, Ryan Greene tallied twice, and Mathieu Caron made 32 saves on 33 shots to lead #2 Boston University (26-8-2, 18-4-2 HE) to a 4-1 win over #7 Maine (23-11-2, 14-9-1 HE) in their semifinal win of the Hockey East playoffs at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, in front of a sold-out crowd of 17,850. ‘It’s obviously a big win tonight,” Boston University Head Coach Jay Pandolfo said. “At the end of the day, our power play was really good, and our goaltender was excellent.” Greene scored the game's first goal at 8:59 of the first period. Winger Quinn Hutson recovered the puck on a failed Maine clearing attempt and passed it to the front of the crease, where he found Greene, who put it past the stick of Black Bear’s goalie, Albin Boija, for the 1-0 Boston lead. Maine had an opportunity to tie early in the second period when Boston d-man Lane Hutson tripped Black Bear’s captain, Lynden Breen, with just 12 seconds left in the first. The two-minute man advantage did not result in anything more significant for Maine than a rung post. It would be Boston University to the man advantage next when Maine center Nolan Renwick is called for holding at 11:04 of the second. The Terriers would capitalize just twenty-five seconds later. With Shane Lachance screening Boija’s vision, the Maine Netminder could not see the shot from Lane Hutson, who sunk a glove-side goal for Boston, putting them up 2 goals at 9:21. Even with another power play opportunity when Boston’s Nick Zabaneh was called for hooking, Mathieu Caron remained impenetrable through the second frame, and the period ended 2-1 in favor of the Terriers. The third period gave Boston University a chance to pull ahead 3-0 when Maine center Cole Hanson hooked Boston defenseman Tom Wilander at 3:30, but the would-be goal potted by Shane Lachance was called off the boards after being challenged for offsides. Making matters worse for Boston, the Black Bears would have the next penalty when Cade Webber’s stick came up high on Josh Nadeau. In the ensuing Maine power play, Black Bears’ captain Breen picked a corner and found a gap in Caron’s defenses, cutting Boston’s lead in half. This goal, coming in at 6:48, was a quick shift in momentum away from the Terriers, whose lead fell from three to one over just a few minutes. Luckily, a careless holding penalty from Maine defenseman Liam Lesakowski would return the Terriers to the power play. The goal that followed, scored by Greene, was almost the exact play that Shane Lachance nearly scored on earlier in the period. Two Boston forwards got positioning behind the Maine defensemen and made a pass in front of the net to beat the goalie to the other side. Instead of a goal, Lachance got the secondary assist on Ryan Greene’s goal at 10:43, with the primary assist from Macklin Celebrini. Desperate for a chance to make it to the Hockey East Championship, Maine pulled their goalie in exchange for the extra skater. Despite over three minutes of six-on-five skating, neither team would create another opportunity to score until the final twenty-seven seconds, when defenseman Sam Stevens made a 200-foot bid at the net and secured the win for Boston University. “It’s obviously a big win for us. We get to go to the finals here and have an opportunity to defend the Hockey East Championship,” Pandolfo remarked after the game. BU took home their tenth Hockey East title in last year’s championship and Pandolfo’s first with the team. They will be looking to defend that title in the final match against Boston College. “We have some talented offensive players… We have really good depth on all four lines, we have good D that can move the puck. When you have that, you’re gonna be able to make plays.” Boston University and Boston College will match up on Saturday, March 23rd, at 7 pm to decide the Hockey East championship title for 2024. ____________________________ Hartford Wolf Pack gets shut out in a 6-0 loss to the Providence Bruins in Game Two Providence Bruins goalie Brandon Bussi stops all 34 shots made by the Hartford Wolf Pack on Friday night in Game Two of the Atlantic Division Semifinal series at the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, Rhode Island, in front of 3,765. “The game kind of got away from us,” said head coach Steve Smith after the game. “Once it got away from us, it was really hard to catch.” The game-winning goal, courtesy of forward Vincent Arseneau, was, unfortunately, the very first one Providence scored. Brett Harrison’s faceoff win put the puck on Jared McIsaac’s stick, whose shot through the slot deflected off Arseneau’s stick and past Wolf Pack netminder Dylan Garand just 2:43 into the game. Providence continued their pressure, but Hartford made some dangerous errors to help the Bruins extend their lead. A rough line change sent the Wolf Pack scrambling to regain possession of the puck in their defensive zone, but Bruins alternate captain Patrick Brown recovered the puck along the boards. His centering pass found Jayson Megna crashing towards the net, who launched a rocket past the glove of Garand, putting the Bruins up 2-0 at 13:44. Still reeling from the last Providence goal, the Wolf Pack errors compounded. Matthew Robertson failed to connect with a Hartford forward in the neutral zone, and the puck was intercepted by Providence forward Trever Kuntar. Chipping it back into the Wolf Pack zone, the Providence fourth line rushed 3-on-1 against Hartford defenseman Nikolas Brouillard. Unable to break up the pass from Arseneau to Brett Harrison, the Bruins winger had an easy shot into the open side of Garand’s net. Coming in at 14:08, the Wolf Pack were looking at a deficit of three headed into the first intermission. “ started on time tonight,” Smith remarked. “They were a better team in the first period. … They seem hungrier, and they won a lot more battles.” The Wolf Pack continued to struggle through the second period. At 1:44, Jayson Megna’s high sticking penalty gave Hartford a power play opportunity, but they failed to generate any goals to chip away at the Bruins’ lead. Continuing to make mistakes, both of Hartford’s starting d-men were sent to the box in quick succession—Brouillard for interference at 6:55 and Robertson for tripping at 7:22. With over 90 seconds of 5-on-3 play without either defensemen, it’s no surprise when the next Providence shot lit the lamp. Garand was righting himself after a scramble in front of his net when Ian Mitchell went top shelf, lifting the puck over Garand’s blocker and the score to 4-0 at 7:38. The fifth Providence goal of the night came in the late second period, as Harrison fed the puck to an open Arseneau at the left circle. Holding the puck momentarily, waiting for an opening, he fires the puck under Garand’s glove to bump Providence to 5 at 15:49. The final goal of the evening would cross the goal line at 0:52 of the third period while the Bruins were on a power play. Hartford winger Brennan Othmann was sent to the box for high sticking at the end of the second period and was still serving his penalty time when Ian Mitchell’s shot from the blue line rang the post on its way into the net. While the Bruins dominated the scoreboard, the Wolf Pack had several opportunities that they failed to capitalize on. Halfway through the second period, the point leader from Game One, Tyler Pitlick, had a breakaway opportunity he couldn’t get past Bussi. They also had five power play opportunities, including a full two minutes of 5-on-3 in the third period when Vincent Arseneau and defenseman Dan Renouf were called for roughing and hooking, respectively. “We got a little bit away from what got us to this point in the playoffs,” said Smith. “We got a bit more complicated. We tried to make plays that weren't available to us. we made a lot of simple plays coming out of our zone. … Especially early on, tonight we got away from that.” Both teams have five days of rest before Game Three in Hartford. After a day to rest, Smith knows how to prepare his team for the rest of the series. “We need to work on special teams. They scored a couple of power-play goals tonight and our powerplay wasn’t as sharp as it needed to be… Getting back into a rhythm and being more predictable as a group will help us over the next few days as well.” The series is tied 1-1 as we head into Games Three and Four in Hartford on Wednesday, May 8th, and Friday, May 10th at 7 PM both nights, where the Wolf Pack can win the series at home if they take both games. ____________________________________ Boston College takes NCAA Regional Championship 5-4 in overtime over Quinnipiac, advances to Frozen Four Jack Malone’s overtime game-winning goal sends #1 Boston College Eagles (33-5-1) to the Frozen Four after defeating last year’s NCAA champions #8 Quinnipiac Bobcats (27-10-2) in the NCAA Regional championship at the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, Rhode Island, in front of 5,835. This win was a huge accomplishment for the BC Eagles. “It’s a goal that we set for ourselves at the beginning of the year and something that we worked for continuously, ” said Malone. “It’s a pretty impressive tradition here at BC. It’s tough to live up to, but this group we have here is pretty special.” Despite making three OT saves, including the preceding shot from Colby Ambrosio, Bobcats’ netminder Vinny Duplessis lost track of the puck on the rebound. Boston College alternate captain Jack Malone found it first, shooting it through the mess of bodies in front of the net and into the goal to win the game for the Eagles. “Colby did a great job getting a piece of it and creating some chaos in front. I just tried to follow to the net and pick up the change, and the shot bounced out to me,” Malone said about the game-winner after the game. “I saw it and just tried to rip it. Luckily it went in.” It took until the second period for either team to break the ice with a goal, though the game’s first goal started with a penalty drawn with 21 seconds left in the first period: Boston College’s Will Smith drew a careless cross-checking penalty while trying to unfreeze the puck from a pile-up along the boards. Pinning BC in their zone on the power play, the Bobcats had the control to set up a quality bid, and that came from starting center Jacob Quillan as he redirected the shot-pass from Travis Treloar past BC goalie Jacob Fowler and into the Eagle’s net at 1:19 of the second. Quinnipiac continued the pressure in the Eagles defensive zone. Recovering the puck on a Boston clear attempt, blueliner Iivari Räsänen sniped the top corner of Fowler’s net, catching him on his heels and doubling their lead just thirty-five seconds later. Despite the sudden two-goal deficit, the Eagles played it cool, waiting for their moment, which came as a Czerneckianair’s stick to the face of Gabe Perrault, sending Boston to the power play. In a set-up nearly identical to Quinnipiac’s first goal, Cutter Gauthier’s feinted shot drew Duplessis towards him, leaving the net open for Ryan Leonard’s deflection. Coming in at 2:20, it put BC on the board and the score at 2-1. The Eagles continued pushing to even the score, and they found it in the vulnerable minute after Christophe Fillion’s slashing penalty expired mid-way through the period. Moving cleanly through the Bobcat’s zone, it appeared that Lukas Gustafsson’s pass to Oskar Jellvik was setting up a give-and-go, but Jellvik instead passed it back towards the blue line as Andre Gasseau rotated in behind Gustaffson. Gasseau’s one-timer beat Duplessis glove-side, knotting the game 2-2 at 11:35. The Bobcats made quick work of reclaiming their lead. They didn’t capitalize on the power play earned after BC’s Smith was called for hooking but kept the puck in their offensive zone after it expired. Fowler blocked the long shot from Charles-Alexis Legault, but it rebounded right in front of the net and back into play. Fillion was the first to the puck, kicking it out to his stick and lifting it over Fowler’s right pad to put Quinnipiac ahead at 15:59. In true BC fashion, their response wasn’t far behind either. Just a minute later, Quinnipiac alternate captain Collin Graf was sent to the box for indirect contact with the head of Ryan Leonard. The hit did not shake Leonard too badly, as his wrap-around goal on the power play tied the game again at 17:55. Boston made the mistake of giving Quinnipiac another power play right at the end of the second, giving the Bobcats a man advantage at the start of the next period. Defenseman Drew Fortescue was called for cross-checking at 18:18. Just sixteen seconds into the third period, Jacob Quillan put Quinnipiac ahead for the third time, pulling the rebound of Collin Graf’s wide shot off the boards and sending a low-angle shot in behind Fowler. As the end regulation approached, the Bobcats were doing what they could to prevent another tying goal from BC, slowing down rushes and preventing BC from transitioning too quickly. With less than five minutes remaining, Quinnipiac stopped forwards Gauthier and Jellvik’s rush attempt at the blue line but did not get back into their defensive position as defenseman Aram Minnetian entered the zone. Empty ice ahead of him, Minnetian’s rocket sailed past Duplessis, whose goal was the equalizer Boston College needed, which sent the game into overtime. “It’s always hard to play a team that won,” said head coach Greg Brown, happy to have come out on top of last year’s NCAA champions. “They know what it takes. They don’t beat themselves. You have to do a lot of things right.” Boston College heads to Saint Paul, Minnesota next, where they play Michigan in the Frozen Four and hope to advance to the NCAA championship. _______________________________ Quinnipiac’s 3-2 OT win against Wisconsin advances them to NCAA regionals second round Victor Czerneckianair scores two goals, including the overtime game-winner, in the #8 Quinnipiac Bobcats (27-9-2) win over #9 Wisconsin Badgers (26-12-2) at the Amica Mutual Pavillion in Providence, Rhode Island, in front of a crowd of 6,988 on Friday night. “We battled the whole game, including overtime. There was no panic, no worry on the bench,” said head coach Rand Pecknold. “We really felt like we were going to win.” Quinnipiac is the defending NCAA champion, winning in 2023, and is hoping to protect that title. Quinnipiac drew first blood at just 2:12 of the first period after Wisconsin defenseman Mike Vorlicky failed to extract a loose puck from between the skates of the ref, missing the opportunity to clear. Christophe Tellier recovered the puck and connected with Christophe Fillion, redirecting the pass into the net of Badgers’ netminder Kyle McClellan, giving the Bobcats an early lead. Wisconsin had their answer in the second period. They started the period on the penalty kill, as Anthony Kehrer was called for tripping with just 25 seconds left in the first period. Their PK was successful, and favor turned drastically in favor of the Badgers when Quinn Finley intercepted an outlet pass intended for Travis Treloar with velocity toward the Bobcat’s net and goaltender Vinny Duplessis. Finley’s wrist shot would find the back of the net, tying the game 1-1 at 1:46 of the second frame. Wisconsin defenseman Joe Palodichuk leveraged the momentum shift from Finley’s goal to score his own just over a minute later. Still rattled from the last error, Duplessis failed to get across and block Palodichuk’s wrap-around attempt after he recovered his own rebound, and Wisconsin took the lead at 3:01. Despite the two goals against them in less than two minutes, Quinnipiac settled themselves and played cleaner through the rest of the second period. “You just gotta reset,” Czerneckianair said about moving past mistakes. “Goldfish memory. Forget about it and move on to the next shift.” The Bobcats did reset and even managed to tie it before the end of the period. A faceoff win from Zach Tupker set up Iivari Räsänen to take a shot from the blue line. McClellan’s save bounced dangerously back into play, where Victor Czerneckianair was ready to send it right back over McClellan’s shoulder to tie it at 2-2 at 18:28 of the second. Either team did not score a goal in the third period despite a penalty called on Tellier for high sticking at 14:47, sending Quinnipiac to the penalty kill. At a crucial time of the game, the Bobcats killed the penalty, sending the game into overtime. As the game approached the 60-minute mark, it was clear that Wisconsin was outmatched. Icing the puck several times as they struggled to move it up the ice and eventually drawing a penalty when defenseman Mike Vorlicky was called for slashing, fatigue was a bigger factor in the Badgers’ late game. Despite their exhaustion, Wisconsin killed Vorlicky’s penalty but got sloppy on the line change afterward. “I saw lifting his stick to , alerting him that they made a bad change,” described Czerneckianair after the game. “From there, just stay onside and find a lane to the net.” Czerneckianair quickly settled the pass and sent it flying past McClellan’s blocker and into the net to secure the win for Quinnipiac, bringing the Bobcats one step closer to the Frozen Four. Coach Pecknold had a good reason for describing this game as their best of the season. “We were all in. The guys had blind faith in the coaches. We put a specific plan in place: ‘Here’s how we need to win this hockey game.’... We asked them to have blind faith… and they did it.” Even as defending champions, they have one more team between them and a repeat appearance in the Frozen Four: the top-rated Boston University Eagles. “We’re going to digest this , enjoy it for about an hour, and then we’ll reload and figure out how to attack Boston College.” Their matchup is at 4 pm on Sunday, March 31st, where it will be decided which team advances to the Frozen Four. ______________ Boston College defeats Michigan Tech 6-1 in NCAA tournament regionals Ryan Leonard scores two goals and two assists for #1 Boston College Eagles (32-5-1) against Michigan Tech Huskies (19-15-6) in the first round of the NCAA tournament regionals held at the Amica Mutual Pavillion in Providence, Rhode Island. “It was much closer than the score at the end. It was a good game,” said BC head coach Greg Brown. “ did so many things right.” It took exactly thirty-six seconds for Boston College to claim an early lead. Read the full article

🏀 In the world of college basketball, point shaving is a serious offense that can result in severe consequences. One of the most notorious cases of point shaving in recent history occurred at Boston College in the early 2000s. 👀 The scandal involved several players on the Boston College basketball team who were accused of intentionally losing games in exchange for cash payments from gamblers. The scheme was uncovered by the FBI, and several players and gamblers were eventually arrested and charged. 💰 The Boston College point shaving scandal rocked the college basketball world and led to increased scrutiny of the sport's relationship with gambling. It also served as a cautionary tale for young athletes about the dangers of getting involved with illegal activities that can jeopardize their futures.1. The Origins of the Boston College Point Shaving ScandalThe Boston College Point Shaving Scandal was a major scandal in college basketball in the 1970s. It involved players from the Boston College Eagles basketball team who were accused of intentionally missing shots or committing fouls to affect the final score of games. The origins of the scandal can be traced back to the early 1970s when Henry Hill, a former mobster turned informant, began working with bookmakers in Boston. Hill recruited several Boston College players to participate in the point shaving scheme. The players involved in the scandal were Rick Kuhn, Jim Sweeney, Ernie Cobb, and Joe Streater. They were promised money and other incentives in exchange for manipulating the outcome of games. The scheme began in the 1978-79 season and continued into the following season. The scandal was uncovered when an FBI wiretap recorded conversations between Hill and the bookmakers discussing the point shaving scheme. The players involved were arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit sports bribery. The scandal had a major impact on the Boston College basketball program, which was put on probation and banned from postseason play for several years. The scandal also had a lasting impact on college basketball as a whole, leading to increased scrutiny of sports betting and stricter penalties for players and coaches involved in point shaving schemes. It remains one of the most infamous scandals in college sports history. 🔍🏀💰2. How the Point Shaving Scheme Was Carried Out at Boston CollegeThe point shaving scheme at Boston College was executed through a network of players, gamblers, and fixers. Players were paid to intentionally miss shots or make mistakes to ensure the opposing team would win by a certain margin. Gamblers would place bets on the games, knowing the outcome was fixed. Fixers would coordinate the scheme, often using threats or bribes to ensure players complied. The scheme was discovered in 1978 when a player reported it to authorities. Eight players were indicted and convicted, along with several gamblers and fixers. The scandal rocked the college basketball world and led to increased scrutiny of sports betting. Boston College was placed on probation and banned from postseason play for two years. Point shaving schemes continue to be a problem in college sports today. Education and prevention efforts are necessary to combat this illegal activity. Players and coaches must be educated on the dangers of sports betting and the consequences of participating in point shaving schemes.

SHAY COSTA REPORTING...CATCHING UP ON PAST COLLEGE AND WOLF PACK
EDITOR'S NOTE: Shay Costa worked hard covering these games and deserved to have them published. my full-time job has caused me to have to work close to 100 hours a week, and I haven't had the time to post them. Getting them all posted here is important. She deserves respect for the effort she put in... - Mitch Beck All stories by: Shay Costa - Howlings BOSTON, MA - On Friday, Ryan Greene tallied twice, and Mathieu Caron made 32 saves on 33 shots to lead #2 Boston University (26-8-2, 18-4-2 HE) to a 4-1 win over #7 Maine (23-11-2, 14-9-1 HE) in their semifinal win of the Hockey East playoffs at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, in front of a sold-out crowd of 17,850. ‘It’s obviously a big win tonight,” Boston University Head Coach Jay Pandolfo said. “At the end of the day, our power play was really good, and our goaltender was excellent.” Greene scored the game's first goal at 8:59 of the first period. Winger Quinn Hutson recovered the puck on a failed Maine clearing attempt and passed it to the front of the crease, where he found Greene, who put it past the stick of Black Bear’s goalie, Albin Boija, for the 1-0 Boston lead. Maine had an opportunity to tie early in the second period when Boston d-man Lane Hutson tripped Black Bear’s captain, Lynden Breen, with just 12 seconds left in the first. The two-minute man advantage did not result in anything more significant for Maine than a rung post. It would be Boston University to the man advantage next when Maine center Nolan Renwick is called for holding at 11:04 of the second. The Terriers would capitalize just twenty-five seconds later. With Shane Lachance screening Boija’s vision, the Maine Netminder could not see the shot from Lane Hutson, who sunk a glove-side goal for Boston, putting them up 2 goals at 9:21. Even with another power play opportunity when Boston’s Nick Zabaneh was called for hooking, Mathieu Caron remained impenetrable through the second frame, and the period ended 2-1 in favor of the Terriers. The third period gave Boston University a chance to pull ahead 3-0 when Maine center Cole Hanson hooked Boston defenseman Tom Wilander at 3:30, but the would-be goal potted by Shane Lachance was called off the boards after being challenged for offsides. Making matters worse for Boston, the Black Bears would have the next penalty when Cade Webber’s stick came up high on Josh Nadeau. In the ensuing Maine power play, Black Bears’ captain Breen picked a corner and found a gap in Caron’s defenses, cutting Boston’s lead in half. This goal, coming in at 6:48, was a quick shift in momentum away from the Terriers, whose lead fell from three to one over just a few minutes. Luckily, a careless holding penalty from Maine defenseman Liam Lesakowski would return the Terriers to the power play. The goal that followed, scored by Greene, was almost the exact play that Shane Lachance nearly scored on earlier in the period. Two Boston forwards got positioning behind the Maine defensemen and made a pass in front of the net to beat the goalie to the other side. Instead of a goal, Lachance got the secondary assist on Ryan Greene’s goal at 10:43, with the primary assist from Macklin Celebrini. Desperate for a chance to make it to the Hockey East Championship, Maine pulled their goalie in exchange for the extra skater. Despite over three minutes of six-on-five skating, neither team would create another opportunity to score until the final twenty-seven seconds, when defenseman Sam Stevens made a 200-foot bid at the net and secured the win for Boston University. “It’s obviously a big win for us. We get to go to the finals here and have an opportunity to defend the Hockey East Championship,” Pandolfo remarked after the game. BU took home their tenth Hockey East title in last year’s championship and Pandolfo’s first with the team. They will be looking to defend that title in the final match against Boston College. “We have some talented offensive players… We have really good depth on all four lines, we have good D that can move the puck. When you have that, you’re gonna be able to make plays.” Boston University and Boston College will match up on Saturday, March 23rd, at 7 pm to decide the Hockey East championship title for 2024. ____________________________ Hartford Wolf Pack gets shut out in a 6-0 loss to the Providence Bruins in Game Two Providence Bruins goalie Brandon Bussi stops all 34 shots made by the Hartford Wolf Pack on Friday night in Game Two of the Atlantic Division Semifinal series at the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, Rhode Island, in front of 3,765. “The game kind of got away from us,” said head coach Steve Smith after the game. “Once it got away from us, it was really hard to catch.” The game-winning goal, courtesy of forward Vincent Arseneau, was, unfortunately, the very first one Providence scored. Brett Harrison’s faceoff win put the puck on Jared McIsaac’s stick, whose shot through the slot deflected off Arseneau’s stick and past Wolf Pack netminder Dylan Garand just 2:43 into the game. Providence continued their pressure, but Hartford made some dangerous errors to help the Bruins extend their lead. A rough line change sent the Wolf Pack scrambling to regain possession of the puck in their defensive zone, but Bruins alternate captain Patrick Brown recovered the puck along the boards. His centering pass found Jayson Megna crashing towards the net, who launched a rocket past the glove of Garand, putting the Bruins up 2-0 at 13:44. Still reeling from the last Providence goal, the Wolf Pack errors compounded. Matthew Robertson failed to connect with a Hartford forward in the neutral zone, and the puck was intercepted by Providence forward Trever Kuntar. Chipping it back into the Wolf Pack zone, the Providence fourth line rushed 3-on-1 against Hartford defenseman Nikolas Brouillard. Unable to break up the pass from Arseneau to Brett Harrison, the Bruins winger had an easy shot into the open side of Garand’s net. Coming in at 14:08, the Wolf Pack were looking at a deficit of three headed into the first intermission. “ started on time tonight,” Smith remarked. “They were a better team in the first period. … They seem hungrier, and they won a lot more battles.” The Wolf Pack continued to struggle through the second period. At 1:44, Jayson Megna’s high sticking penalty gave Hartford a power play opportunity, but they failed to generate any goals to chip away at the Bruins’ lead. Continuing to make mistakes, both of Hartford’s starting d-men were sent to the box in quick succession—Brouillard for interference at 6:55 and Robertson for tripping at 7:22. With over 90 seconds of 5-on-3 play without either defensemen, it’s no surprise when the next Providence shot lit the lamp. Garand was righting himself after a scramble in front of his net when Ian Mitchell went top shelf, lifting the puck over Garand’s blocker and the score to 4-0 at 7:38. The fifth Providence goal of the night came in the late second period, as Harrison fed the puck to an open Arseneau at the left circle. Holding the puck momentarily, waiting for an opening, he fires the puck under Garand’s glove to bump Providence to 5 at 15:49. The final goal of the evening would cross the goal line at 0:52 of the third period while the Bruins were on a power play. Hartford winger Brennan Othmann was sent to the box for high sticking at the end of the second period and was still serving his penalty time when Ian Mitchell’s shot from the blue line rang the post on its way into the net. While the Bruins dominated the scoreboard, the Wolf Pack had several opportunities that they failed to capitalize on. Halfway through the second period, the point leader from Game One, Tyler Pitlick, had a breakaway opportunity he couldn’t get past Bussi. They also had five power play opportunities, including a full two minutes of 5-on-3 in the third period when Vincent Arseneau and defenseman Dan Renouf were called for roughing and hooking, respectively. “We got a little bit away from what got us to this point in the playoffs,” said Smith. “We got a bit more complicated. We tried to make plays that weren't available to us. we made a lot of simple plays coming out of our zone. … Especially early on, tonight we got away from that.” Both teams have five days of rest before Game Three in Hartford. After a day to rest, Smith knows how to prepare his team for the rest of the series. “We need to work on special teams. They scored a couple of power-play goals tonight and our powerplay wasn’t as sharp as it needed to be… Getting back into a rhythm and being more predictable as a group will help us over the next few days as well.” The series is tied 1-1 as we head into Games Three and Four in Hartford on Wednesday, May 8th, and Friday, May 10th at 7 PM both nights, where the Wolf Pack can win the series at home if they take both games. ____________________________________ Boston College takes NCAA Regional Championship 5-4 in overtime over Quinnipiac, advances to Frozen Four Jack Malone’s overtime game-winning goal sends #1 Boston College Eagles (33-5-1) to the Frozen Four after defeating last year’s NCAA champions #8 Quinnipiac Bobcats (27-10-2) in the NCAA Regional championship at the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, Rhode Island, in front of 5,835. This win was a huge accomplishment for the BC Eagles. “It’s a goal that we set for ourselves at the beginning of the year and something that we worked for continuously, ” said Malone. “It’s a pretty impressive tradition here at BC. It’s tough to live up to, but this group we have here is pretty special.” Despite making three OT saves, including the preceding shot from Colby Ambrosio, Bobcats’ netminder Vinny Duplessis lost track of the puck on the rebound. Boston College alternate captain Jack Malone found it first, shooting it through the mess of bodies in front of the net and into the goal to win the game for the Eagles. “Colby did a great job getting a piece of it and creating some chaos in front. I just tried to follow to the net and pick up the change, and the shot bounced out to me,” Malone said about the game-winner after the game. “I saw it and just tried to rip it. Luckily it went in.” It took until the second period for either team to break the ice with a goal, though the game’s first goal started with a penalty drawn with 21 seconds left in the first period: Boston College’s Will Smith drew a careless cross-checking penalty while trying to unfreeze the puck from a pile-up along the boards. Pinning BC in their zone on the power play, the Bobcats had the control to set up a quality bid, and that came from starting center Jacob Quillan as he redirected the shot-pass from Travis Treloar past BC goalie Jacob Fowler and into the Eagle’s net at 1:19 of the second. Quinnipiac continued the pressure in the Eagles defensive zone. Recovering the puck on a Boston clear attempt, blueliner Iivari Räsänen sniped the top corner of Fowler’s net, catching him on his heels and doubling their lead just thirty-five seconds later. Despite the sudden two-goal deficit, the Eagles played it cool, waiting for their moment, which came as a Czerneckianair’s stick to the face of Gabe Perrault, sending Boston to the power play. In a set-up nearly identical to Quinnipiac’s first goal, Cutter Gauthier’s feinted shot drew Duplessis towards him, leaving the net open for Ryan Leonard’s deflection. Coming in at 2:20, it put BC on the board and the score at 2-1. The Eagles continued pushing to even the score, and they found it in the vulnerable minute after Christophe Fillion’s slashing penalty expired mid-way through the period. Moving cleanly through the Bobcat’s zone, it appeared that Lukas Gustafsson’s pass to Oskar Jellvik was setting up a give-and-go, but Jellvik instead passed it back towards the blue line as Andre Gasseau rotated in behind Gustaffson. Gasseau’s one-timer beat Duplessis glove-side, knotting the game 2-2 at 11:35. The Bobcats made quick work of reclaiming their lead. They didn’t capitalize on the power play earned after BC’s Smith was called for hooking but kept the puck in their offensive zone after it expired. Fowler blocked the long shot from Charles-Alexis Legault, but it rebounded right in front of the net and back into play. Fillion was the first to the puck, kicking it out to his stick and lifting it over Fowler’s right pad to put Quinnipiac ahead at 15:59. In true BC fashion, their response wasn’t far behind either. Just a minute later, Quinnipiac alternate captain Collin Graf was sent to the box for indirect contact with the head of Ryan Leonard. The hit did not shake Leonard too badly, as his wrap-around goal on the power play tied the game again at 17:55. Boston made the mistake of giving Quinnipiac another power play right at the end of the second, giving the Bobcats a man advantage at the start of the next period. Defenseman Drew Fortescue was called for cross-checking at 18:18. Just sixteen seconds into the third period, Jacob Quillan put Quinnipiac ahead for the third time, pulling the rebound of Collin Graf’s wide shot off the boards and sending a low-angle shot in behind Fowler. As the end regulation approached, the Bobcats were doing what they could to prevent another tying goal from BC, slowing down rushes and preventing BC from transitioning too quickly. With less than five minutes remaining, Quinnipiac stopped forwards Gauthier and Jellvik’s rush attempt at the blue line but did not get back into their defensive position as defenseman Aram Minnetian entered the zone. Empty ice ahead of him, Minnetian’s rocket sailed past Duplessis, whose goal was the equalizer Boston College needed, which sent the game into overtime. “It’s always hard to play a team that won,” said head coach Greg Brown, happy to have come out on top of last year’s NCAA champions. “They know what it takes. They don’t beat themselves. You have to do a lot of things right.” Boston College heads to Saint Paul, Minnesota next, where they play Michigan in the Frozen Four and hope to advance to the NCAA championship. _______________________________ Quinnipiac’s 3-2 OT win against Wisconsin advances them to NCAA regionals second round Victor Czerneckianair scores two goals, including the overtime game-winner, in the #8 Quinnipiac Bobcats (27-9-2) win over #9 Wisconsin Badgers (26-12-2) at the Amica Mutual Pavillion in Providence, Rhode Island, in front of a crowd of 6,988 on Friday night. “We battled the whole game, including overtime. There was no panic, no worry on the bench,” said head coach Rand Pecknold. “We really felt like we were going to win.” Quinnipiac is the defending NCAA champion, winning in 2023, and is hoping to protect that title. Quinnipiac drew first blood at just 2:12 of the first period after Wisconsin defenseman Mike Vorlicky failed to extract a loose puck from between the skates of the ref, missing the opportunity to clear. Christophe Tellier recovered the puck and connected with Christophe Fillion, redirecting the pass into the net of Badgers’ netminder Kyle McClellan, giving the Bobcats an early lead. Wisconsin had their answer in the second period. They started the period on the penalty kill, as Anthony Kehrer was called for tripping with just 25 seconds left in the first period. Their PK was successful, and favor turned drastically in favor of the Badgers when Quinn Finley intercepted an outlet pass intended for Travis Treloar with velocity toward the Bobcat’s net and goaltender Vinny Duplessis. Finley’s wrist shot would find the back of the net, tying the game 1-1 at 1:46 of the second frame. Wisconsin defenseman Joe Palodichuk leveraged the momentum shift from Finley’s goal to score his own just over a minute later. Still rattled from the last error, Duplessis failed to get across and block Palodichuk’s wrap-around attempt after he recovered his own rebound, and Wisconsin took the lead at 3:01. Despite the two goals against them in less than two minutes, Quinnipiac settled themselves and played cleaner through the rest of the second period. “You just gotta reset,” Czerneckianair said about moving past mistakes. “Goldfish memory. Forget about it and move on to the next shift.” The Bobcats did reset and even managed to tie it before the end of the period. A faceoff win from Zach Tupker set up Iivari Räsänen to take a shot from the blue line. McClellan’s save bounced dangerously back into play, where Victor Czerneckianair was ready to send it right back over McClellan’s shoulder to tie it at 2-2 at 18:28 of the second. Either team did not score a goal in the third period despite a penalty called on Tellier for high sticking at 14:47, sending Quinnipiac to the penalty kill. At a crucial time of the game, the Bobcats killed the penalty, sending the game into overtime. As the game approached the 60-minute mark, it was clear that Wisconsin was outmatched. Icing the puck several times as they struggled to move it up the ice and eventually drawing a penalty when defenseman Mike Vorlicky was called for slashing, fatigue was a bigger factor in the Badgers’ late game. Despite their exhaustion, Wisconsin killed Vorlicky’s penalty but got sloppy on the line change afterward. “I saw lifting his stick to , alerting him that they made a bad change,” described Czerneckianair after the game. “From there, just stay onside and find a lane to the net.” Czerneckianair quickly settled the pass and sent it flying past McClellan’s blocker and into the net to secure the win for Quinnipiac, bringing the Bobcats one step closer to the Frozen Four. Coach Pecknold had a good reason for describing this game as their best of the season. “We were all in. The guys had blind faith in the coaches. We put a specific plan in place: ‘Here’s how we need to win this hockey game.’... We asked them to have blind faith… and they did it.” Even as defending champions, they have one more team between them and a repeat appearance in the Frozen Four: the top-rated Boston University Eagles. “We’re going to digest this , enjoy it for about an hour, and then we’ll reload and figure out how to attack Boston College.” Their matchup is at 4 pm on Sunday, March 31st, where it will be decided which team advances to the Frozen Four. ______________ Boston College defeats Michigan Tech 6-1 in NCAA tournament regionals Ryan Leonard scores two goals and two assists for #1 Boston College Eagles (32-5-1) against Michigan Tech Huskies (19-15-6) in the first round of the NCAA tournament regionals held at the Amica Mutual Pavillion in Providence, Rhode Island. “It was much closer than the score at the end. It was a good game,” said BC head coach Greg Brown. “ did so many things right.” It took exactly thirty-six seconds for Boston College to claim an early lead. Read the full article

The Harvard Study of Adult Development has been run for over 75 years. Robert Waldinger is 4th director in charge of this study, and has one of the most viewed TED talks of all time. This study followed the lives of over 700 people to see what it is that allows someone to live a happy and healthy life. The key to this mystery, in the words of Robert Waldinger is simple, “Good relationships keep us happier and healthier. Period.” His TED talk is well worth viewing.

Case File: 0629202101
@featuredetective
Code Name: Crazy Kwilt
Comments: This one schooled me. Professor Lee of Boston College is here with one of his pandemic compositions. This collection is an homage to the French composer Claude Debussy. (Whom I had no idea of before this case file.) titled Huit Épigraphes (2021) for piano solo. Did you get all of that in French? Google translate says, “Eight Épigraphes (2021) for piano solo.” What the hell is an epigraph you say? Google says an epigraph is a short quotation or saying at the beginning of a book or chapter, intended to suggest its theme. (When in doubt GTS!) Are we having fun yet? If all this is boring you to tears, lets get on with the fun stuff. HE2021forPS is classic piano (? - I don’t know, I just like it.) music written by Professor Lee and played beautifully by Jinny Lin (One of Professor Lee’s students? Help me out here if you know where to hear more Jinny Lin music online.) The album artwork is by Deborah Kamy Hull. Hull’s artwork is a quilt or quilt painting, I’m not exactly for sure. (Maybe collage?) It is a wonderful piece that is fun to look at and wonder about. More info on her crazy kwilts, paintings via the website and insta page listed below.
