Did the large group of Friar hockey fans on Twitter that formed into #BandOfFriars leading up to the NCAA Tournament rub off on the team? Jenn O’Meara ’93 wonders about the coincidence of that but does know the members were ecstatic to tweet about the end result.

“It was utterly surreal and wonderful to see the Friars win,” exclaimed O’Meara, whose Twitter posts the last two seasons have informed and delighted PC fans.

O’Meara and her husband, Ben O’Meara ’93, have held season tickets for a dozen years. Between their love for Friar hockey — they travel to regional Hockey East road games and this year went to Ohio State and Notre Dame — and their Twitter communications, they have enjoyed meeting Friar hockey fans with and without connections to the College.

“It’s been fun. We just love hockey,” she said.
