UMass Boston’s run finally came to an end in the NCAA Frozen Four, as the Beacons fell 8-7 in double-overtime against national power St. Norbert College. The men’s hockey team became the first program in school history to reach an NCAA Tournament Final Four.
Peter has taken the Belisle Hockey LLC ideology to the collegiate level, applied it, and has turned UMass Boston into one of the top division 3 hockey programs in the country.
