UMass men’s hockey shutout by New Hampshire in Durham
No. 19 University of Massachusetts hockey was unable to solve New Hampshire netminder Kyle Chauvette, falling 1-0 at the Whittemore Center on Saturday night.
The loss leaves the Minutemen at 18-12-0, 11-9-0 in Hockey East, while the Wildcats move to 13-16-1, 7-12-1 in league action.
The lone goal of the contest came midway through the first period as Ryan Philbrick collected a pass from Alex Carr behind the UMass net and found Ryan MacPherson for a one-timer from the top of the left faceoff circle that beat goaltender Michael Hrabal 8:04 into the frame.
Massachusetts’ offense surged in the second period with a flurry of chances around the 7:50 mark. However Lukáš Klecka was denied by Chauvette, Justin Kerr had shots blocked and wide in succession and Landon Nycz had his attempt blocked, as well. UNH ended the night with 19 blocks in total.
The teams finished level in shots at 29 apiece. UMass was 0-for-2 on the power play and the Wildcats were 0-for-4.
Hrabal totaled 28 saves in the setback and Chauvette stopped all 29 shots he faced on the evening.
The Minutemen will be back in action next Friday, February 27, when the squad will face #10/11 UConn in Storrs at 7 p.m.

N.H. police chief placed on leave after video released of him grabbing someone by the throat inside police station
Local News
An investigation into the incident is active, officials said.
The Gorham, New Hampshire police chief has been placed on administrative leave following the release of a video showing a physical altercation inside the police station.
In the station’s security footage — acquired by Stephen Gregory, of Berlin, New Hampshire, who sent it to WMUR, the outlet reported — Chief Jimmy Willhoite is seen grabbing a man by the throat and shoving him against a wall.
“Due to the allegations involving our Chief of Police, he has been placed on administrative leave while the allegations are being investigated,” Town Manager Joe Hemings said in a statement to Boston.com. Hemmings denied to comment further on the allegations.
Gregory told WMUR that the recording captures a confrontation between him and Willhoite that escalated when the chief grabbed Gregory by the neck and pushed him against the station wall.
Prior to the incident, Gregory was attending the annual Fourth of July carnival in Gorham with his wife and saw a man who, he says, threatened to stab him about two months earlier.
After the man allegedly yelled at him, Gregory went to the police station to report him — and then the confrontation with Willhoite happened, Gregory told WMUR.
The state’s Department of Justice Public Integrity Unit and NH Police Standard and Training Council is investigating the incident, Hemmings said.
The New Hampshire Attorney General’s office told Boston.com that it would “neither confirm nor deny any potential New Hampshire Department of Justice Public Integrity Unit matter,” citing state privacy laws.
Town officials said Gregory was arrested that night and charged with simple assault and disorderly conduct, though Gregory disputes he was arrested, WMUR reported.
“The safety of our community and the integrity of our law enforcement agencies are top priorities for the Town,” Hemmings said. “We take all allegations of misconduct seriously.”
Jack Savage, president of the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, spoke at the first Jaffrey Amos Fortune Forum of the season on Friday evening about the state of New Hampshire’s forests, conservation efforts and where he’d like to see the state in the next 15 years.
