The school's current athletic director is Robert Driscoll.[1] The team colors are black and white, the same as the Dominicans, with silver as an accent color.[61] The school's current logos and identity marks were released in 2002, and feature the profile of a friar wearing the black cappa (hood) of the Dominicans, above the word mark.[61] All teams use the primary logo except the hockey teams, which have used the "skating Friar" logo since 1973.[61] In addition to the Friar mascot, the school's animal mascot was a Dalmatian named "Friar Boy."[62] The school's closest rivalries are Boston University and Boston College in hockey and the University of Connecticut[63] and the University of Rhode Island[64] in the school's other sports, especially in soccer, tennis, swimming and diving, and basketball.
