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.

Here are the regional clubs that are hosting Gamewatches for Thursday’s and Saturday’s games. I have attended a few of these and I have to say it’s a lot of fun watching a PC game with other PC alums and also meeting new people who share the common bond of loving the Friars. If you live in any of these areas, I recommend checking these out:
