If there's one good sign for Colgate it's that they had a 1-0-1 record against Princeton this season. Colgate definitely has to win next weekend to keep their season alive. They'll have to win the ECAC tournament to get an invite to the NCAA tournament.

Next week is a best of 3, with all games played at Princeton. If Colgate doesn't win, that will be the end of Harrison's College career. Then, we'll see if he gets offered a contract.

I'll be surprised if he does, although his stats are similar to Hathaway's, and they play a similar style of game, so maybe he could get an AHL-only deal like Hathaway signed out of College.

Hopefully another week's rest will be good enough for Hickey and he can return to BU's lineup for the playoffs in two weeks. College teams are even more tight-lipped about injuries than NHL teams, so it's difficult to know what Hickey's status is.

Regardless of how they do in their Conference tournaments, BU and Harvard both seem safe to get invites to the NCAA tournament, so Fox and Hickey will be playing until at least the end of March.
