Let’s introduce you to Donovan; an amazing 14 year old boy who is battling Lafora disease. Lafora disease, also known as “Lafora Progressive Myoclonic Epilepsy” (MELF) is a fatal recessive genetic disorder. In layman’s terms… Lafora disease is a severe, and extremely rare form of epilepsy.

Here is a photo of Donovan and the big man #33; on the court after the PC Friars won the 2014 Tournament at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

PC Hockey To Play For A Spot In The Frozen Four at 3pm Today

Leave a comment

Nate Leaman will take on his former employer in Union College for a chance to get to the Frozen Four in Philadelphia. Some would argue the team that has had all this success at Union is because Nate Leaman built this Union team but I’m sure you won’t hear that from him. He respects the current coach and program too much to think selfishly. But the reality is that most of the players are there because of Leaman and the commitment to the program and facility upgrades are because of Leaman. He has brought the same thing to Providence. PC was in their first NCAA Tournament since 2001 and hadn’t won an NCAA Tournament game since 1991. The last time the hockey Friars made an appearance in the Frozen Four was 1985.

The bottom line is that Friartown is a great place to be these days. Lets hope Coach Leaman and the hockey Friars can keep the dream alive.

Be sure to tune in to the Friars battle against Union at 3pm on ESPN2.

Friday March 28th

Friartown is coming back to your town on Friday and, hopefully, Saturday.

The Friar men’s hockey team will travel to Bridgeport, Conn. to play Quinnipiac at 5:30 p.m. Friday in the NCAA Tournament East Regional semifinal. If they win, they play either Union or Vermont on Saturday at 3:00 p.m.

Friar alumni and friends will also gather for game-watch parties at several locations. There is no better way to watch the Friars in NCAA Tournament play than with others who love PC as much as you do. In the event you cannot join us at one of these events, Friday’s game will be broadcast on ESPNU, Saturday’s on ESPN2.
