BTW, Assumption is technically DivII, one of 12 DivII teams in the country.
They and the other six members of the Northeast-10 sports conference (which
is not a conference for hockey, the teams play in the ECAC) which play at
the NC$$ level of hockey (except Merrimack) are all DivII.

Well, I've found several cases of teams scoring 9 goals in a period
but not everyone keeps track of this.  On 12/17/72, Minnesota-Duluth did it
against Minnesota (were you at this one too, Carol? :-)).  On 11/23/82, UAA
did it against Wisconsin-Stout (club, I think).  And going back a ways, on
2/8/44, Dartmouth's Dick Rondeau scored 9 in one period against Middlebury
but no listing is given of how many goals Dartmouth scored in that period.
He had 12 in that game but that is not a record...Clarkson's Gene LaBonne
had 13 against Norwich on 2/11/42.
 
Those last few are not modern-day records.  Dartmouth must have had at least
10 in one of those periods since they scored 30 in the game.  Also pre-
modern, Michigan scored 30 against Eagle River in 1930.  Was that Eagle
River High School? :-)  That game is not listed in Michigan's all-time
results in their guide, but it is listed as a record in the College Hockey
Record Manual.
 
Just in after a look at the Lowell guide: Lowell scored 11 in the third
period of a 21-3 win against Bryant College on 2/17/79.  And I also see
that Colorado College scored 10 in one period against BU in the 1950 NC$$
Championship Game, no less.  Those look like the DivII and DivI records,
respectively, unless something else comes up (and it probably will).
 
Anyone getting an idea of just how difficult it can be to track down some
of these records? :-)
