No. 3/3 St. Cloud State hosts the Mavericks this Saturday on Hockey Day Minnesota, which is hosted in St. Cloud this year, while No. 14/13 Minnesota Duluth travels to Mankato on Tuesday night. Both SCSU and UMD defeated Minnesota State in the first half of their home-and-home series earlier this season, while NCHC teams are a combined against WCHA foes this season. Overall, NCHC teams are a combined in non-conference play this season, with the.665 win percentage second among the six conferences behind only the Big Ten at.688. The NCHC is right on pace to match, or perhaps surpass, last year s non-conference record when NCHC teams finished a combined in the regular season. (page 9) Six NCHC teams are ranked in both the USCHO.com Poll and the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine Poll this week, with all six in the top 15. The six ranked teams are the most from one conference in the USA Hockey Magazine Poll and tie for the most in the USCHO Poll. With St. Cloud State sitting at No. 3, it s only the fourth week since the start of the season that an NCHC team has not been No. 1 in the USCHO Poll. Half of the NCHC teams have held the No. 1 spot during that span (SCSU, DU, UND and UMD), while only three other NCAA teams have total. (page 9) Two NCHC skaters are approaching the century club for points. Omaha senior forward Tyler Vesel has 95 career points (36g, 59a), while Denver junior forward Troy Terry sits only six points from 100 with 39 goals and 55 assists for 94 points. The only active NCHC player with 100 career points is Denver junior forward Dylan Gambrell (39-77=116). Four of the top eight offenses in the NCAA play in the NCHC, led by SCSU s 3.95 goals per game, which rank second in the country (SCSU s opponent Saturday, Minnesota State, is third at 3.79 gpg). Omaha (3.77 gpg) moved up to fourth nationally after 15 goals last weekend, while Western Michigan ranks sixth in the NCAA scoring 3.64 gpg and Denver (3.55 gpg) is eighth. The NCHC also has four of the top eight power play units nationally with Omaha leading the way at 27.7 percent, which is third in the country. Miami (26.3 percent) and Denver (24.8 percent) are fifth and sixth, while St. Cloud State is tied for seventh at 23.8 percent. (pages 29-30) Fifteen NCHC players were among 74 NCAA skaters nominated for the Hobey Baker Award this week. Among the 15, one is a freshman, six are sophomores, five juniors and three are seniors, while 12 are forwards and three are defensemen. (list on page 8) Omaha senior forward Jake Randolph earned NCAA First Star of the Week Tuesday for his six-point weekend (3g, 3a) against Miami. He is the third NCHC player to garner NCAA First Star of the Week this season and the ninth NCHC player overall to nab an NCAA Star this year. (page #NCHCHockey TheNCHC NCHC.tv

The Cup is named after Julie and Spencer Penrose, who were tremendously successful in the business world and did much of it in Colorado Springs in the early 1900s. The couple made much of their money in the copper industry, which is why the trophy includes copper stars on it. The Penroses also set up the El Pomar Foundation, which still today helps pay for amateur sports and other non-profits, including the NCHC office located in the Copper Building next to the Penrose House on the grounds of the Penrose compound in Colorado Springs. The El Pomar Foundation has also issued grants for the Penrose Cup, medallions for each individual champion and the NCHC s annual Post-Graduate Scholarship. Denver won its first Penrose Cup last season, while North Dakota won back-to-back Penrose Cups in 2015 and 2016 after St. Cloud State won the inaugural season. NCHC Tournament/Frozen Faceoff The NCHC Tournament will consist of four quarterfinal series on the first weekend following regular-season play (March 9-11, 2018). The four higher seeds will host the four lower seeds in a best two-out-of-three format. Seed #1 will host Seed #8, Seed #2 will host Seed #7, Seed #3 will host Seed #6, and Seed #4 will host Seed #5. The winners of the four quarterfinal series will advance to the NCHC Frozen Faceoff at Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul, Minn. for the two semifinal games on Friday, March 16. Semifinal games will be reseeded based on the final regularseason standings. The winners of the two semifinal games (4:08/7:38 p.m. CT) will then meet in the Championship Game (7:38 p.m. CT) on Saturday, March 17 for an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, while the two losers from the semifinal games will face each other in the third-place game (3:38 p.m. CT) earlier in the day Final NCHC Standings Conference Overall Pts.

17 Previous Week Round-Up FRIDAY, JAN. 12 On one of, if not the wildest night in National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC) history, all seven NCHC offenses in action Friday night exploded, with each team tallying at least five goals and the seven teams combining for a total of 46 goals (6.57 per team). At Baxter Arena in Omaha, 17th-ranked Omaha tied an NCHC record for most goals in a game with 11, which broke a school record, while No. 20 Miami still potted seven in an 11-7 defeat as the teams combined for an NCHC-record 18 goals, shattering the old mark of 14. In a game that only saw 12 total goals, No. 12/12 Western Michigan scored four goals in the second period to erase a two-goal first-period deficit and come away with a 7-5 victory at No. 2/2 St. Cloud State, handing the Huskies their first home loss of the season. In the final conference game of the night, No. 15/15 Minnesota Duluth used a strong power play and a three-goal second period to pull away and then hold on for a 6-5 win at Colorado College. Not wanting to miss out on the score-fest, No. 7/8 North Dakota also potted five goals despite playing a non-conference opponent, as UND collected a 5-1 victory over Bemidji State in their home-andhome series opener. In the highest-scoring game in NCHC history, No. 17 Omaha outscored No. 20 Miami, 11-7, Friday night at Baxter Arena. Omaha s 11 goals set a school record and tied the NCHC record for goals in a game.
