Apparently Michigan Tech wasn’t quite done with recruiting for next season. Last week the Huskies picked up a commitment from the BCHL Interior Division MVP, Brent Baltus. Baltus is a forward for the Trail Smoke Eaters. The 6′ 1″ sniper had verbally committed to Alaska Anchorage in November but the departure of Dave Shyiak in Anchorage opened the door for Baltus to reevaluate things and Michigan Tec
Despite the fact that the Michigan Tech Huskies have yet to qualify for the NCAA Tournament under current head coach Mel Pearson, fans of the Huskies have a reason to check out the Massachusetts-Lowell River Hawks’ Frozen Four matchup with the Yale Bulldogs. Former Huskies’ goaltender Cam Ellsworth is on the staff for the Riverhawks. “It’s been an unbelievable experience,” said Ellsworth. “A lot of the relationships
At first glance, a 13-20-4 record, a tenth-place finish, and a first-round loss to North Dakota looks like an extremely disappointing second season for head coach Mel Pearson and the Michigan Tech Huskies. However, upon closer inspection, this group of Huskies built off the success they had last season, and appear to be heading in the right direction. “Obviously we wanted to win more games,” said assistant coach Bill
The 10th-seeded Michigan Tech Huskies traveled to Grand Forks, N.D., to face third-seeded North Dakota. The hosts did not play like the No. 4-ranked team in the country Friday and Saturday night, and found themselves facing elimination at the hands of the Huskies on Sunday. Unfortunately, the Huskies were unable to muster much in their third game in three days, coming up short in their quest for a second straight pla
As a writer for Tech Hockey Guide I was given the opportunity to vote for All-WCHA Awards by A Tradition of Excellence. We were asked to vote for First, Second and Third Team All-WCHA, an All-Rookie Team as well as some individual awards; Rookie, Player, Defenseman and Coach of the Year. The results of everyone polled can be found here. And below is how I votes: All-WCHA First Team F – Ryan Walters, Nebraska-Omaha F
What happened last weekend? The Huskies jumped all over the visiting Colorado College Tigers on Friday night. Winger Milos Gordic gave the Huskies the lead 9:40 into the game. Center Tanner Kero played a great game, getting several scoring chances before finally securing the win for the Huskies at 19:39 of the third period. Saturday night, the Huskies spotted the Tigers the game’s first three goals before taking cont
This week features an update on Mike Neville and St. Michaels’ (OJHL) playoff march, a great article on three Husky recruits playing with the Salmon Arm Silverbacks, and a great article on former Husky goalie Josh Robinson. Not to mention preview of the WCHA Playoff’s opening round this weekend, polls, rankings, and more! Recruits Tristan Rostagno had two goals on the weekend and Team Wisconsin (16U) won
In the final WCHA Web Media Poll, we nearly had a few ties but not quite. Minnesota and St. Cloud State split the regular season title so it makes sense that they would each receive six first place votes this week, but Minnesota was not listed below second on any ballot and finishes the regular season ranked number one while SCSU remains second. North Dakota received all twelve third place votes. Denver, Wisconsin an
Looking to build off their split on the road with WCHA-leading St. Cloud State, the Michigan Tech Huskies returned home for their final WCHA home series of the season. Finishing with the Colorado College Tigers for the second straight season, the Huskies earned a win on Friday, but could not finish off a sweep on Saturday night. Friday The Huskies jumped all over the Tigers right from the drop of the puck. Center Tan
Yesterday, the WCHA released the complete composite schedule for all conference games for the 2013–14 season. All ten teams including recently-added Alabama–Huntsville will have a full 28-game conference schedule. With the conference’s return to ten teams, it’s no surprised that those in charge returned the WCHA to the schedule format used from 1999 to 2010. Each team has a designated rival (Minnesota Sta
