The Southern New Hampshire University men's ice hockey team earned a 3–1 Northeast 10 victory over Post University on Friday night at The Ice Den, powered by a key second-period goal from senior forward Kurt Watson (London, Ont.) and a strong team defensive effort. The win came on SNHU's annual Teddy Bear Toss night, with all donated bears being collected for Jamie's Joy and the Manchester Police Athletic League (MPAL).

KEY MOMENT

With the Penmen looking to break a scoreless deadlock, Watson delivered the spark at 14:12 of the second period. The senior scored on the rebound of a slap shot by freshman Gavin Simon (Monticello, Minn.) and sophomore Kyle Slingerland (Stittsville, Ont.) also earned an assist.  The goal gave SNHU a 1–0 advantage and ignited the crowd as teddy bears rained onto the ice in celebration.
