HAMDEN, Conn. — 

For the first time since 2019, the Friendship Four is back at the SSE Arena in Northern Ireland and the No. 4 Quinnipiac men’s ice hockey program is one of three ranked teams in attendance at the only college hockey tournament held outside of the United States.

The Bobcats will face fellow ECAC member Dartmouth on Friday in a non-league contest and will take on either No. 17 UMass or No. 13/14 UMass Lowell out of Hockey East, depending on both games’ results.

J-QUILLAN

  • Sophomore forward Jacob Quillan has taken off in his second season with the Bobcats, already besting his 2021-22 point output with 12 on the current campaign. He also has six goals on the year, more than double what he totaled a season ago.
