The Lindenwood Lions and Post University Eagles open their seasons Friday, September 18th at 4:30 PM EDT at the Sports Center of Connecticut, with both squads entering at 0-0 and chasing a statement win from the opening puck drop.
Neither team has logged a result yet, which makes this matchup a pure blank slate — no trends to lean on, no prior form to dissect. It is hockey at its most honest: two rosters with everything to prove and nothing to lose.
Friday afternoon hockey in Connecticut carries its own energy. The Lions and Eagles get the first crack at defining who they are this season, and every shift, every save, every battle along the boards matters a little more when you are writing Chapter One.
