BURLINGTON, Vt. – The University of Vermont men's hockey program has revealed the jersey that the team will wear against UMass Amherst for the Frozen Fenway 2012 doubleheader at Fenway Park in Boston on January 7. The program worked closely with Reebok to capture the look of Vermont teams from the 1970's era when the team joined the Division I ranks. Vermont men's hockey enjoyed unparalleled success in the 1970's. The Catamounts won back-to-back ECAC Division II Championships in 1972-73 and 1973-74, compiling a program-record 28 wins during its second title run. Led by head coach Jim Cross, UVM posted 24 victories in its first year of Division I hockey the following season and reached the ECAC Championship. Vermont won 77 games over the three-year span, which still stands as a school record. Fans can pre-order replicas of this one-time, special edition jersey online through the UVM Bookstore , or by calling 1-800-331-7305....
