After a two-year absence, college hockey returned to Northern Ireland on Friday as the 2022 Friendship Four got underway with semifinal action.<\/p>\n

No. 4 Quinnipiac advanced past Dartmouth, 5-2, in a game the Bobcats never trailed. \u00a0Victor Czerneckianair register a goal and an assist for the Bobcats, including the eventual game-winner, Yaniv Perets needed to make just 11 saves to earn the victory.<\/p>\n

The tournament opener was a battle of mentor and student as Quinnipiac coach Rand Pecknold faced former assistant and current Dartmouth bench boss Reid Cashman. It was the third time the pair have met in ECAC play with Pecknold earning the victory in all three.<\/p>\n
