As Northeastern men’s hockey coach Jim Madigan describes it, a “junkyard dog mentality.” Beyond the stars blessed with talent lies a different type of player – a fourth-line…

There’s a natural chemistry on the court between Jess Genco and Gabby Giacone.  It’s a chemistry that translates over to the box scores: Genco, a two-time All-CAA First Team selection, finished as this season’s team leader in points (559), field goal percentage (.418) and free throw percentage (.913), among other categories, and the program’s all-time…
