"Fire Alarm Going Off At The Merrimack Vs BU Hockey Game.
Currently evacuating Lawler Arena."
Despite the disruption, the game eventually continued, with Boston University maintaining their 3-0 advantage into the final break.
"a totally normal second period has finally come to an end."
Humorously, BU's Twitter account suggested that a Merrimack supporter might have triggered the alarm, given their team's substantial deficit...
"sounds like someone pulled the fire alarm (we're up 3-0 so can't blame them). we'll play the final 1:49 of the second period shortly, take a 2:00 break, then play the third period."
Currently, Merrimack holds the 9th spot in the NCAA's Hockey East conference with a 2-4-1 record, while BU leads the conference with a 5-1-1 record.
