What do you guys expect by talking about "class", etc.? NE is one of the jokes of college hockey. Nearly always at the bottom of HE, and struggling to maintain any vague recognition in the Boston metro compared to Harvard, BC, BU, etc. I think the only reason they get invited to the Beanpot, whatever that is, is because of a liberal obligation to help the underprivileged ... well, and MIT doesn't have a D1 hockey team.
