The Catamounts' fast start to the 2026-27 season has served notice to Hockey East and the country, earning the 20th spot in the U.S. College Hockey Online weekly national poll , which was released on Monday, Nov. 9. Vermont (5-3-1, 4-1-1) also tops the Hockey East standings with 14 points, three ahead of Boston University. The Catamounts are coming off a weekend sweep at Boston College, taking the first game 5-2 before seizing a shootout victory following a 4-4 tie .

Social Dances Offer Fun, Connection and an Antidote to Winter Isolation

Before Jack Daly of Burlington showed up at his first social dance in 2016, the only dancing he’d done besides “jumping up and down at rock concerts” involved a single frustrating salsa class with a very stern teacher. But in the dark winter months after the breakup of his marriage, the then-64-year-old’s spirits were low. He hadn’t gotten out of the house in a while.
