The University of Massachusetts hockey team will be without four players, including its leading goal scorer and starting goaltender, on Thursday when the Minutemen hit the ice for the Frozen Four.
Graduate transfer forward Carson Gicewicz and junior netminder Filip Lindberg have been sidelined from the national semifinal due to COVID-19 contact tracing protocols, the university announced on Tuesday.
Sophomore Providence College transfer Jerry Harding, as well as third-string netminder Henry Graham, are also ineligible to play due to contact tracing.
