The Gophers were selected as the Big Ten favorite again in the Big Ten Hockey Preseason Coaches Poll ahead of Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan and Michigan State. Additionally, Tyler Sheehy, Ryan Lindgren, Rem Pitlick and Casey Mittelstadt were honored on the Big Ten s Preseason Watch List. Sheehy was one of two unanimous selections on this year s list. The Gophers kick off the Big Ten season early this season, hosting Penn State at 3M Arena at Mariucci on Friday, Oct. 13. Sheehy Steps Up as Captain Forward Tyler Sheehy had one of the best individual seasons in recent program history during the campaign. A First Team All-America, the Big Ten Player of the Year and a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award, Sheehy tallied 53 points (20 goals, 33 assists) -- the most points in a season by a Gopher since Ryan Potulny notched 63 during the season. Now a junior, Sheehy will serve as team captain for Minnesota this year while Mike Szmatula, Leon Bristedt and Ryan Lindgren will serve as alternate captains.
