      Sorry, but there's an academic requirement.

        I saw on Twitter a couple of them were planning to borrow their daddy's Bimmer for that series and come up to Tech and get their MRS degree.

            Maximum number of non-conference games (against non-WCHA opponents) is 62, 58 of those are certain.

            22 non-conference home games total (as quoted in WCHA release), 27 not at neutral sites. That seems to be a much better percentage than last season.

              I saw the UAH schedule and (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻) a few times. Five consecutive home weekends during BAMA season, then nine weeks away from home.

                  UAH might average 1300 fans next year.

                          Interesting, Potulny went with an established new assistant and retained an established one to fill his staff.

                          No Gopher ties to the top assistant surprised me a bit.

                            Which Gopher would you suggested?

                              Not one in particular, I thought possibly one of the teammates from the championship teams, Troy Riddle, Nick Anthony.

                                I honestly hope next year that the WCHA can find a television network to broadcast the championship game for the conference title. What an amazing atmosphere for the game to go into double overtime this past season. Any true hockey fan would have enjoyed watching that game. Like many said after game too bad there had to be a loser.
                                The league missed the boat on that one.
                                MTU Huskies 3 time NCAA Champions... and going for more.
