The stage is set: Boston University versus the Merrimack Warriors, squaring off once again in the NCAA Men’s tournament on Saturday, the 8th of November, 2025. Grab your popcorn and maybe a dictionary of hockey terms, because predictions are about to be served with a side of stats and a dash of humor.

When it comes to their last ten showdowns, both teams are tied in the world’s most indecisive record-keeping, each taking home 7 victories. Clearly, they share the same number of wins because hockey math works in mysterious ways. Unsurprisingly, neither team has managed to take home the Nobel Prize in Statistics, as the last clash resulted in a Merrimack Warriors victory, 2-1, on their home ice on February 8, 2025.

Speaking of adventurous encounters, the teams forgot to pack their aim last time. Amazingly, Boston University chalked up a mighty zero shots on goal, well matched by Merrimack Warriors’ similarly impressive total of zero shots. As for penalties, both teams were obviously on their best behavior, playing so clean they’d make a bar of soap blush, with zero penalty minutes each. It was a thrilling exhibition of skating form and nothing else.

Rolling into this matchup, Boston University seems to have rediscovered their goal-scoring choreographed dance, skating away with a 3-1 triumph against the Connecticut Huskies. Meanwhile, over in the Warriors’ camp, spirits might be less buoyant after their 2-5 loss against the LIU Sharks—a result that’s less a fish story and more a shark tale.

So who’s going to emerge victorious from this comic saga dressed as a sporting event? Our stats give a slight nod to Boston University, with their momentum-infused stride and a recent win that suggests they’re finally remembering their net-hunting skills. But in the unpredictable arena of hockey, all bets are off, as both teams seem determined to keep statisticians on their toes and fans scratching their heads.
