BOSTON – The Northeastern men's ice hockey team and No. 9 Notre Dame played 40 minutes of scoreless hockey before a Zamboni malfunction caused damage to the ice during the second intermission, forcing the officials to suspend the game after two periods, 0-0.
The delay began during the second intermission when one of the Northeastern Zamboni's broke down in the left corner of the ice, causing that portion of the ice unable to freeze. After a delay, the ice was deemed unplayable and play was suspended.
