Just to clarify, I got a copy of the HE composite yesterday and this and a
couple other BC home games were changed.  I believe that BC had conflicts
with home basketball and hockey games scheduled for some Saturdays, so they
switched the hockey games.  In two cases, home and homes with BU and
Merrimack, they flipped so BC hosts Friday and plays away on Saturday.
 
This game, UNH-BC, was originally scheduled for a Sat night but it is on an
odd weekend where BC plays two different opponents.  My guess is that the
schools agreed to switch the game to UNH (odd that BC wouldn't simply
reschedule for midweek sometime to keep the home game, but maybe this
wasn't possible).  I haven't seen confirmation of this from BC or UNH yet.
