Greg Carvel has shaped a generation of college hockey defensemen at UMass in his time here. I wrote a feature detailing what makes Carvel at UMass the place to be for up-and-coming defensemen for @MDC_Sports here!

It’s not too late to hop on the @UMassHockey bandwagon.

Had to show some love to my guys this morning.

Keep an eye on Michael Hrabal and Larry Keenan, got to throw Jack Musa’s name in there as well!

They’re on fire 🔥@MikeGrinnell_

MATT BOLDY WALKS MAKAR AND TOEWS FOR ONE OF THE BEST GOLD MEDAL GAME GOALS YOU’LL SEE 🔥🍿

[Matt Skillings @matt_skillings]

I heard the Patriots are thinking about signing Malcom Butler sometime this week…

[Jeff Howe @jeffphowe]

You'd break your TV if someone did this to you in Madden

[Matt Skillings @matt_skillings]

Womp womp

[Paul Bissonnette @BizNasty2point0]

What a bullshit call. Gets pushed in the back. But at the end of the day Czech deserved this one. Outplayed Canada. Incredible effort. 🇨🇿

[Spittin' Chiclets @spittinchiclets]

CZECHIA GETS THE EMPTY NET DAGGER AND HEADS ON TO THE GOLD MEDAL GAME! 🇨🇿

[Matt Skillings @matt_skillings]

Canada should donate Connor Bedard to team Italy.

[Spittin' Chiclets @spittinchiclets]

The 2026 Team Canada Olympic roster has been revealed! 🇨🇦

Who got snubbed?!

[Matt Skillings @matt_skillings]

@_RyanAmes Is that left-handed Scottie Scheffler???

[Matt Skillings @matt_skillings]

When Mahomes comes to New England after squeaking by a real "fools gold" team like the Colts and then throws three picks while Drake Maye lights up the Chiefs defense, we're coming back to this clip and clowning the umbrella Newton has on his head.

@drakemayeloverr

[Savage @Savageboston]

Must be weird for Drake Maye to grow up idolizing Cam Newton, only to have him publicly diminish his accomplishments.

Cam has turned into the ultimate hater and it’s disappointing

[Matt Skillings @matt_skillings]

You guys just got some screen time on ESPN! First time I’ve cracked a smile watching this game😐

[Owen Shelffo @owen_shelffo]

.@BarstoolBigCat it has gone from bad to worse. Maction though.

[JP Catellier @Jpcatellier]

20 years from now I’m going to be naming random MLB players with my guys around a fire and the Ernie Clement pull is going to have the boys rowdy

[Matt Skillings @matt_skillings]

@caroline_burge @colinmccarth_DC might have one-upped Ron Burgundy from a couple years ago

[Matt Skillings @matt_skillings]

The Bruins record is what…?

[Matt Skillings @matt_skillings]

@_RyanAmes I’ve never been more frustrated watching someone play hockey😂

[Matt Skillings @matt_skillings]

EVERY SINGLE TIME the puck is on Nikita Zadorov’s stick, he makes the absolute WORST decision he could possibly make. #nhlbruins

[Matt Skillings @matt_skillings]

@MDC_Sports Airport Chili’s goes unbelievably hard

[Matt Skillings @matt_skillings]

@kaygregoire @SydneyCiano we taught them well

[Caroline Burge @caroline_burge]

Food review from the Mullins press box with the @MDC_Sports hockey beat! @James__Rust @Myles_Donato @EzekielAltman

[Matt Skillings @matt_skillings]

Nikita Zadorov makes the worst turnover you’ve ever seen at least once a game. #NHLBruins

[Cam Pellegrino @cam_pellegrino]

UMass football’s failures go far beyond the players; they stem from the top. The Minutemen’s issues aren’t just your ordinary on-field mistakes — they reflect a program built on a blueprint of incompetence.
