College Hockey's Best Rivalry Heads to Kelley Rink Friday Night

THE BATTLE OF COMM AVE.
Both teams always have the Battle of Comm Ave. circled on their respective calendars as Boston University makes its way down the green line for a Friday night puck drop at Kelley Rink. Not only does Friday's fray mark the 275th installment of the Green Line Rivalry, the 2017-18 season is the centennial season in which these two adversaries first met. BC and BU first met on Feb. 6, 1918 as part of Boston College's first-ever varsity hockey season. The Eagles skated to a 3-1 victory. Last year, Boston College and Boston University met on the ice four times and the Terriers came away with three of those decisions.
