Friday, October 6 and Saturday, October 7<\/strong> Sacred Heart at Northeastern<\/strong>
\nArmy West Point at American International<\/strong>
\nDan:<\/strong> Nothing like traditional AHC rivals coming to start the season. This series dates back to 1954, and Friday will mark the 90th meeting between the Black Knights and Yellow Jackets. Army enters this weekend 63-29-7 all time. I think they make it up to 65 to start the season. Army West Point sweeps.<\/strong>
\nChris:<\/strong> We get down to business with conference games right out of the gate. AIC coach (and former AWP assistant) Eric Lang told the media prior to the season that while expects the Yellow Jackets to be better than last year, he can say that about every team in the league, including the Black Knights. I’m picking an Army West Point sweep.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nDan: <\/strong>There’s a lot of credit due to Northeastern for their willingness to schedule Atlantic Hockey teams. I’m very interested in seeing how the SHU offense comes out against the Huskies, but since it’s the first game, there’ll be a lack of seasoning on both sides. I think Sacred Heart can make this tough, but I’m going with the Huskies. Northeastern sweep.<\/strong>
\nChris:<\/strong> SHU has a big challenge to start its season with a pair of games at No. 20 Northeastern. Early season upsets are to be expected, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see one here, but I’m going with a Northeastern sweep.<\/strong><\/p>\n
