5 wcha pre-game countdown Put 60:00 minutes on the time clock and start the clock exactly one hour prior to game time. There shall be no activity on the ice once the clock is set at 60:00 minutes. The only player activity allowed on the ice is the 15:00 minute pre-game warm-up for both teams. Both teams must leave the ice 15:00 minutes before returning to the ice to start the game. Clock 43:00: Home team 5:00-minute warning 42:00: Visiting team 5:00-minute warning 39:00: Officials take ice for warm-up 38:00: Home team takes ice for warm-up 37:30: Visiting team takes ice for warm-up 24:00: Horn sounds 1:00 minute left in warm-ups 23:00: All players off ice* 15:00: Starting lineups submitted 10:00: Notify teams that 3 minutes remain before they are to take the ice 08:00: Officials take ice 07:00: Home team takes ice 06:30: Visiting team takes ice 05:00 Announce line-ups 03:00: National Anthem 00:00: Timer puts 20:00 minutes on clock. Game starts. Overtime: Put 2:00 minutes put on the clock for a break, followed by a 5:00-minute sudden death overtime. Teams remain in the same ends as in the third period. The first team to score a goal wins the game. If no goal is scored, the game is a tie. Pre-Game Meeting, On-Ice and Off-Ice Officials: *Immediately after the pre-game warm-ups, the game on-ice officials are responsible for meeting with the minor officials. The meeting will take place in the referee s room and will be conducted by the referee. At some point prior to warm-ups, the host institution s representative should meet with the referees to discuss any game-related issues. wcha official time-out policies There will be a total of three, 1:00 (one-minute) Official Time-outs per period for all WCHA men s regular season (including exhibitions) and WCHA first round playoff games. Official Time-outs may not exceed 1:00 (one-minute) and there should be no more than three per period. It is recommended by the Association that the three, 1:00 minute Official Time-outs be taken at the first stoppages of play after the 15:00, 10:00 and 5:00 marks of each period. (Note: a penalty at 14:55 effectively cancels the 15:00 timeout if the break cannot be taken :05 seconds early.) Official Time-outs may NOT be taken during power-plays, and Official Time-outs are discouraged (but not prohibited) during even-strength shorthanded play. Official Time-outs also cannot be taken after icings, or after a puck is shot directly out of play in the defensive zone by a defensive player. There will be no Official Time-outs taken during overtime periods. During 1:00 (one-minute) Official Time-outs the two competing teams will be able to go to their respective bench areas. With :15 seconds left in the 1:00 minute Official Time-out, the television coordinator or the head minor official will let the referee know and the referee will then bring the two competing teams back out to the designated face-off spot. At the 1:00 minute mark of the Official Time-out, the puck will be dropped. When a game is televised, the producer(s) of the telecast(s) or the producer s representative MUST meet with the on-ice officials prior to the game to establish the need and mechanism for signaling Official Time-outs. When more than one telecast is involved, the home telecast has the right (which may be waived for to the visitors or third party) to initiate the signal for Official Time-outs. All telecasts MUST have a communication link for Official Time-out coordination. When a game is NOT televised, the head minor official will meet with the on-ice officials prior to the game to go through the time-out protocol. 3

6 wcha tie-breaking procedures For Playoff Seeding Only In regular-season competition, each WCHA team shall accumulate points from each WCHA contest (i.e., a contest between teams representing two WCHA member institutions played as part of the conference schedule), receiving two points for each game won in regulation time or overtime, and one point for each game tied at the conclusion of overtime. The team accumulating the greatest number of points in regular-season WCHA contests shall be the WCHA Champion. If two or more teams are tied for first place, they shall be considered co-champions. Seeding for the WCHA Tournament If two or more teams have accumulated the same number of points, seeding for the tournament shall be determined according to the following procedure: A) If two or more teams are tied, and all teams tied have played four contests against one another, then the team with the most accumulated points from these head to head contests will be granted the higher seed. B) If two or more teams are still tied (or all teams tied have not played four contests against one another) the highest seed will go to the team with the greater number of conference wins. C) If two or more teams are tied, and were unable to use A) above due to an unbalanced home and away schedule amongst one another, then the team with the highest winning percentage in all head to head contests among the tied teams will be granted the higher seed. D) If not determined by A), or B), or C) above, the recipient of the highest seed shall be determined by comparison of the winning percentages of the teams tied, against the remaining highest ranked WCHA team successively, until the determination is accomplished, or all WCHA contests have been considered. In the event of multiple ties within the standings that become dependent on one another for determination, the procedure shall be applied to the highest tie first, using combined winning percentage against all teams involved in the lower tie(s) and continuing through the order if needed. If this fails to break the highest tie, the procedure shall be applied to the next highest tie (and so on if needed), using combined winning percentage against all tied teams as needed when proceeding through the standings. E) If not determined by A), or B), or C), or D) the recipient of the higher seed will be determined by winning margin during conference contests. Winning margin = WCHA conference goals for minus WCHA conference goals against. In the event of multiple ties within the standings that reach this step, the procedure shall be applied first to the highest tie in the standings. If this fails to break the highest tie, the procedure shall be applied to the next highest tie (and so on if needed) until any tie is broken and all procedures are re-started. F) If not determined by A), or B), or C), or D), the recipient of the higher seed shall be determined by the flip of a coin. In the event of multiple ties within the standings that reach this step, the procedure shall be applied first to the highest tie in the standings after which all procedures are re-started. In the case of ties among three or more schools, the criteria will be used in order until a team, or teams, is separated from the top of the pack. At that point, the process will begin anew to break the new tie. In other words, when a three-way tie becomes a two-way tie, the two-way tie is treated as a new tie and the process begins with the first criterion. 4

9 commissioner bill robertson The Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) announced on April 8, 2014 that Bill Robertson had been selected as the new commissioner of college hockey s most historic, tradition-rich and successful conference. He accepted a multi-year agreement with the WCHA. Robertson, 53, succeeds Bruce McLeod, who retired after serving as WCHA Commissioner for the past 20 years. I am excited about this wonderful opportunity to help lead and guide the WCHA for many years to come, said Robertson. It is truly an honor to serve this iconic sports and collegiate hockey conference, while showcasing some of the top student-athletes and institutions in the country. The committee conducted a national search with the assistance of Parker Executive Search based in Atlanta. We are thrilled to announce Bill Robertson as the next commissioner of the WCHA, said Dr. Richard Davenport, President of Minnesota State University, Mankato, who led the search committee. He has been a champion of collegiate hockey and a strong partner of the WCHA for many years. Bill is a proven leader and expert communicator with tremendous experience developing sports organizations and events across the country, including the WCHA Final Five. His knowledge of the organization, passion for the game, and respect for the collegiate experience make him a great choice to shepherd this new era for the WCHA. The WCHA Final Five playoff championship returned to Saint Paul and its new Xcel Energy Center in 2001, where Robertson was Vice President of Communications and Broadcasting for the National Hockey League s (NHL) Minnesota Wild and parent company Minnesota Sports & Entertainment from During that time, he helped establish the franchise and the events it hosted, and led media relations, community relations, publications and broadcasting efforts, along with league and broadcast schedule negotiations. Robertson negotiated television broadcast agreements on behalf of the WCHA from Bill Robertson is an outstanding choice as the next Commissioner of the WCHA, said Xcel Energy Center Vice President and General Manager Jack Larson. He is recognized as an exceptional leader in the sports industry and will no doubt do phenomenal things for the conference. The WCHA Final Five playoff championship will be back in Saint Paul at Xcel Energy Center on March 20-21, robertson and minnesota wild owner craig leipold 7

10 handing over the reins: bruce mcleod and bill robertson The Western Collegiate Hockey Association made a great choice. Bill s years of experience in professional and amateur hockey have allowed him to develop tremendous relationships at all levels of hockey, said Mike Snee, executive director of College Hockey, Inc. He also understands both the significant history of the WCHA as well as the opportunities the league has in the future. Prior to the Wild, Robertson directed communications for Major League Baseball s (MLB) Anaheim Angels, the NHL s Mighty Ducks, and the National Basketball Association s (NBA) Minnesota Timberwolves and Target Center, which hosted several NCAA Championships during his tenure. He also twice served as media relations liaison for both USA men s and women s Olympic ice hockey teams (Salt Lake City 2002, Torino 2006). Most recently, he consulted on sports and entertainment matters for Tunheim, one of the most respected strategic communications firms in the Midwest. We re delighted with the selection of Bill Robertson, said Dave Ogrean, executive director of USA Hockey. We wish Bruce the best in retirement and look forward to having Bill lead a league that has such rich history and has been an important part of the hockey landscape in our country for a long time. Robertson, who began his position as Commissioner of the WCHA in May of 2014, is from Saint Paul, Minn. commissioner robertson meets the media He is a graduate of California State University-Fullerton where he majored in Speech Communications. He becomes only the third commissioner in the WCHA over the past 30 years, following successful tenures for Otto Breitenbach ( ) and Bruce McLeod ( ). A love of hockey, a greater love for people and helping them be better, describes Bill Robertson, said Craig Button, former NHL General Manager and currently the lead television analyst for the NHL Network. The WCHA has a long-standing history of providing opportunity to young scholar-athletes who have represented their educational institutions both on and off the ice in exemplary fashion. Some have gone on to careers in the NHL but all have been given an opportunity to learn and grow. Among many who come to mind is David Backes, a former player at Minnesota State, U.S. Olympian and current St. Louis Blues team captain. Bill has a record of helping organizations get off the ground and grow and has been recognized on numerous occasions for his and an organizations leading accomplishments. The WCHA is not new but the league is entering a new era. Bill is a man who can lead them as they establish themselves as a place for young men to grow, develop and contribute to their institutions as hockey players and as citizens throughout their adult life. Bill understands the meaning of give and you shall receive, but it is in his daily and tireless efforts where it is exemplified. I can t think of a more deserving person to take the reigns as WCHA Commissioner. Great days are ahead. Robertson has two children son Brett, 21, and daughter Brooke, 18. His father Norbert, 93, played college hockey at the University of Minnesota, winning the AAU National Championship in 1940 with the Gophers, and after World War II, again competed in hockey at the University of St. Thomas. Robertson s oldest brother, Mike, played college hockey at Boston College in the late 1960s. 8

Motte, MSU Forward Matt Leitner split Player of the Year votes EDINA, MN Minnesota State, the defending Broadmoor Trophy champion, has been tabbed as the favorite to win the MacNaughton Cup in both the Mankato Free Press WCHA Coaches and the Bemidji Pioneer WCHA Media preseason polls. Ferris State, which captured the league s regular season title before falling to MSU in the WCHA Final Five championship, was picked to finish second in both polls. Both teams were NCAA Tournament participants a year ago, with the Bulldogs advancing to the second round. The two polls flip-flopped on third and fourth place finishers, with WCHA coaches placing Michigan Tech in the higher slot and the media tabbing Bowling Green third. Alaska was picked fifth in both ledgers; but, while coaches slotted Alaska Anchorage sixth and Northern Michigan seventh, media reversed that order. Bemidji State, Lake Superior State and Alabama Huntsville rounded out both polls. Ferris State senior goaltender C.J. Motte, a returning Hobey Baker Memorial Award finalist, was selected as the league s Preseason Player of the Year by WCHA coaches after tallying a record,.927 save percentage and 2.29 GAA in conference play last year. Minnesota State senior forward Matt Leitner, who tallied a league-best 39 points in WCHA games last year and ranks third among all active Div. 1 players with 121 career points, was the media s choice. Minnesota State freshman forwards C.J. Franklin and Brad McClure tied for WCHA Coaches Preseason Rookie of the Year honors, while Bowling Green defenseman Mark Friedman garnered the media nod. Motte and Leitner were chosen to both Preseason All- WCHA Teams, joining forwards Tyler Morley, a junior from Alaska, and Jean-Paul LaFontaine, a senior from Minnesota State, and defensemen Colton Parayko, a junior from Alaska, Zach Palmquist, a senior from Minnesota State (coaches only), and Shane Hanna, a sophomore from Michigan Tech (media only) Mankato Free Press WCHA Men s Hockey Preseason Coaches Poll ( scale.

The new campaign, which launches the weekend of October 3-5, promises to build on the momentum of a season that featured one of the most highly-competitive races in the 63-year history of the WCHA. A dramatic final regular season weekend of March 7-8 (2014) saw Ferris State capture the conference regular season championship and MacNaughton Cup by one point over runner-up Minnesota State, Bowling Green clinch the fourth and final first round home playoff spot, and all four first-round league playoff pairings determined. An extraordinarily tight race also found Alaska and Bowling Green tied for third with 30 points each, Michigan Tech just one point back of the Nanooks and Falcons in fifth with 29 points, Alaska Anchorage a single point back of Tech in sixth with 28 points, Northern Michigan only one point back of the Seawolves in seventh with 27 and Bemidji State and Lake Superior State tied for eighth with 24 points. Alabama Huntsville finished 10th with five points. We are thrilled about the prospects of the men s WCHA and our member teams on the national scene in , said Robertson. There s no question the new-look WCHA raised more than a few eyebrows last season, with our league race being so tightly-contested, the battle for the championship and home playoff berths going down to the final weekend, and both regular season champion Ferris State and playoff champion Minnesota State competing in the national tournament. We also had the Bulldogs ranked No. 6 in the final polls and the Mavericks No. 12. We know our teams can compete with anybody in the country night in and night out, and we expect the new season will see that momentum carry over. You can definitely sense the excitement among our teams, our coaches, players and administrators, and our fans and their communities. The return of the WCHA Final Five to Xcel Energy Center and the City of Saint Paul is also a big plus for us. The league playoff championship has had tremendous success there in the past and it is our goal to both build on that tradition while also forging a family-friendly and affordable weekend of great collegiate championship hockey in a spectacular setting. We are working on a number of Final Five-related initiatives throughout the off-season relating to ticketing, sponsorships and television that can play a significant role in our success. The WCHA, for the second straight season, will also stream men s member team regular season home games live, on demand and in High Definition through a continuing partnership with America ONE Sports. Our video streaming partnership with America ONE Sports brought notable dividends to the league and our member teams in year one, said Robertson, and we look forward to again providing our fans around the world with WCHA hockey live and on demand throughout the season. The conference championship race, which culminates in the awarding of the MacNaughton Cup, will be followed by an eightteam post-season tournament consisting of four, best-of-three first round playoff series at the home arenas of the top four finishers, and then the WCHA Final Five next March at Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul. The Final Five winning team receives the Broadmoor Trophy and the league s automatic berth to the NCAA tournament. The 140-game conference schedule will again feature 28 games per team, with each club playing 14 league home games and 14 away league games. Teams play five other league members four times each and four others two times each. League openers, by team, are: Alabama Huntsville (Oct vs Bowling Green), Alaska Anchorage (Oct. 31-Nov. 1 vs Lake Superior), Alaska (Oct. 31-Nov. 1 at Bemidji State), Bemidji State (Oct. 31-Nov. 1 vs Alaska), Bowling Green (Oct at Alabama Huntsville), Ferris State (Oct vs Michigan Tech), Lake Superior (Oct. 4-5 vs Michigan Tech), Michigan Tech (Oct. 4-5 at Lake Superior), Minnesota State (Oct vs Alabama Huntsville), and Northern Michigan (Oct at Lake Superior).

In his first season at Alabama Huntsville, Corbett led one of the youngest rosters in the country through one of the toughest strength of schedules in Division 1 hockey. Entering , he had inked 10 more freshmen as the program continues to build back to its previous successful level. Corbett spent 10 years as an assistant at Air Force including serving as the team s associate head coach in the season. Mike Corbett has spent the last decade recruiting elite young men to the United States Air Force Academy and winning championships, said UAH Director of Athletics Dr. E.J. Brophy. We are very confident that he is the man to lead Charger Hockey into the prestigious WCHA and back to winning on a consistent basis here at UAH. During Corbett s time with the Falcons, the team won five Atlantic Hockey Association tournament championships and also appeared in the NCAA tournament five times with berths in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, and Winners of the AHA regular season title in 2009 and 2012, Air Force ranks in the top 10 in the country in winning percentage over the last seven seasons while stringing together seven consecutive winning seasons for the first time in program history. On the ice Corbett focused on the Air Force blue line, and the team established Falcon records for fewest goals allowed per game in three straight seasons from the year to the campaign. Under his watch, the Falcons featured three AHA Defensemen of the Year winners, and Air Force has consistently ranked among the best in the nation in fewest shots allowed per game. With Corbett assisting in the program s recruiting effort, the team also featured two AHA Player of the Year honorees, three Div. 1 All-Americans, and 17 all-conference selections. During his time on the bench, the Falcons also had the only Hobey Baker Hat Trick finalist in AFA history. No stranger to WCHA hockey, Corbett was a defensive force during his playing days at Denver from where he was an alternate captain for two seasons and a two-time WCHA All- Academic Team member.

After all, Serratore has only Led BSU to five College Hockey America championships ( ) Guided BSU to its first NCAA D1 Tournament win over No. 2 Notre Dame (3/28/09) and led the Beavers to their first appearance in the NCAA Frozen Four to cap the 2009 campaign Directed BSU to championship-game appearances in the CHA Tournament a league-record four consecutive seasons ( ) Led BSU to the CHA Tournament championship in 2005, 06 and 09, becoming the first CHA program with back-to-back appearances in the NCAA tourney Helped BSU become only the second CHA program to win both the league regular season and tournament crowns during the same campaign, achieving that feat in 2005 and 2009 Helped BSU earn its first D1-era invitation to the NCAA Tournament Oversaw the first D1-era BSU team to be nationally-ranked, when the Beavers were No. 15 on Oct. 17, 2005 is a five-time CHA Coach of the Year and has been a finalist for the AHCA s Spencer Penrose Award six times and was runner up in As for Serratore s career... Respected? Without question. Lengthy? Anything but. Serratore has led Bemidji State s remarkable rise from a floundering Div. 1 neophyte to national heights and back-to-back appearances in the NCAA Tournament after just seven short seasons. The legacy Serratore was asked to continue when he was named the seventh head coach at Bemidji State in 2001 was one of the finest college athletics. Serratore was selected to succeed Hockey Hall of Fame member R.H. Bob Peters, who won 702 games and 13 national championships at BSU. And his remarkable resume and the arrival of BSU as a D1 program proves Serratore is more than comfortable following a legend. BSU has continued to build success during each year of the Serratore era, improving from 12 victories during his inaugural season to , then to in , to in , and ultimately to in 2009 en route to the school s first appearance in the Frozen Four. Serratore is just the second coach in BSU history to coach in more than 250 games, while his 140 career wins rank him second alltime at the school. Bemidji State s historic season was one not even a Caldecott Medal-winning author would have dreamed of penning. After dropping their first four games, the defending CHA champions would go on to post an record down the stretch, capture their fifth CHA title, and secure the top seed in the 2009 conference tournament. For the first time, the CHA Tournament was held at The Glas a venue as rich in championship tradition as any but little did anyone know that the final collegiate tournament game played there may have been its finest. The Beavers first defeated Alabama Huntsville, leaving them 60:00 from their third NCAA tourney berth, then won the tournament by upending Robert Morris 3-2 (ot). The storybook season then continued on to the Midwest Regional in Grand Rapids, where 16th-seed BSU downed No. 2 Notre Dame, 5-1, in a semifinal before defeating No. 9 Cornell in the championship game to secure a spot in the 2009 NCAA Men s Frozen Four in Washington, D.C. The Beavers once-in-a-lifetime ride would ultimately come to an end at the hand of Miami in a Frozen Four semifinal, but not before the Beavers, the first 16th-seed to ever win its way into the Frozen Four, turned the hockey world on its ear. In addition to Serratore garnering his fifth CHA Coach of the Year award, he was also a finalist for the AHCA s Spencer Penrose Award. Serratore came to the BSU hockey program after spending five years as the recruiting coordinator for St. Cloud State, where he helped the Huskies to a record and four WCHA Final Five berths. He also was an assistant coach for the 1998 WCHA All-Star Team for the Kolin Cup in Zug, Switzerland and has been an active member of USA Hockey. Serratore was a two-year letterwinner at forward at BSU under coach Peters from , averaging 1.03 points per game. He was a member of the 1986 Div. III national championship team and was captain in He began his playing career at Mankato State before transferring to BSU and had 141 points overall (63g, 78a). 32

62 What began as a season filled with plenty of questions ultimately became a campaign to remember, as college hockey s most historic league the Western Collegiate Hockey Association proved it will continue on as a power in Division 1 men s ice hockey and continue to build on a seven-decade legacy of tradition and success. Marking it s 62nd season of competition, the league welcomed six new teams to the Association family for the campaign, as the Alabama Huntsville Chargers, Alaska Nanooks, Bowling Green Falcons, Ferris State Bulldogs, Lake Superior State Lakers and Northern Michigan Wildcats joined with Alaska Anchorage, Bemidji State, Michigan Tech and Minnesota State to forge what would quickly develop into an ultra-competitive, passion-filled 10-team circuit. In addition to creating new rivalries, adding new fans and reaching into new markets, the conference staged its long-running WCHA Final Five playoff championship in a new city and new venue Grand Rapids, Michigan and Van Andel Arena. The season also brought an announcement that longtime league commissioner Bruce McLeod would be retiring on June 30 after 20 years at the helm and ultimately that Bill Robertson, a proven leader in the sports world, a champion of collegiate hockey and a strong partner of the WCHA for many years, was chosen to lead the conference into a new era in a well-attended press conference held at Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul on April 8. Along the way, there were a number of significant developments and highlights. An all-new WCHA.com and WCHA.com/mobile led the way for the new-look league with a pre-season debut full of new features. With the start of the season, the league announced a new partnership with America ONE Sports that provided a first-ever conference-wide broadband initiative, with every member team home game videostreamed live and on demand. The league continued its long-running weekly radio show, This Week in the WCHA, and added a new weekly package of video highlights at WCHA.com beginning at the first of the year that ran each Wednesday. The league staged a WCHA Final Five promotional event in downtown Grand Rapids on October 5, which featured tournament ticket package discounts, merchandise giveaways, face-painting, games and public ice skating sessions at Van Andel Arena during the city of Grand Rapids world-renowned ArtPrize weekend. Throughout the season, the Road to Van Andel Arena featured great room rates and discount ticket packages in conjunction with Northwest Corner Hotels, and then at the WCHA Final Five itself, held March 21-22, there were three-days of fun-filled activities that included a WCHA Kick-Off Event and WCHA The Voice Contest on Thursday at the Deltaplex, The Purple Community Game to Fight Cancer on Friday, a USA Hockey Youth Coaching Workshop and Sports Madness Pre-Championship Game Tailgate Party on Saturday at the B.O.B. in downtown Grand Rapids and the well-known Dance Mania contest held throughout all three tournament games. The Final Five was again telecast live by FOX Sports North and also carried by FOX Sports Wisconsin, FOX Sports Detroit, Sports Time Ohio, and FOX College Sports Central. The regular season again featured 28 league games per team, with Ferris State ultimately prevailing as conference and MacNaughton Cup champion by a single point over second place Minnesota State. The final weekend of the regular season had plenty of intrigue, with the five conference series and 10 games contested March 7-8 deciding the conference regular season championship, four remaining playoff positions, two first round home playoff slots and four first round playoff pairings. Heading into that final weekend, five teams were alive for the last four playoff slots, and six teams were alive for the last two home ice slots. Minnesota State and Ferris State would be seeded #1 and #2 in either order. If Minnesota State sweeps Michigan Tech then Minnesota State will be the #1 seed. Alaska and Michigan Tech had clinched playoff spots, and each controlled its own destiny for home ice. Alaska could clinch home ice with a win in either game against Alaska Anchorage while Michigan Tech would clinch with three or more points against Minnesota State. Alaska Anchorage and Bowling Green could each clinch playoff spots by earning two or more points the final weekend. Lake Superior State could clinch a playoff spot with three or more points. Bemidji State and Northern Michigan could each earn playoff spots with weekend sweeps. Northern Michigan could not earn home ice but did control its own destiny for a playoff berth. Ultimately, Ferris State locked up the No. 1 playoff seed, Minnesota State was No. 2, Alaska was No. 3 and Bowling Green was No. 4 as the four first-round hosts. The Bulldogs won two straight over No. 8 Bemidji State, the Mavericks downed No 7 Northern Michigan in three games, the Nanooks were upended in three games by No. 6 Alaska Anchorage and the Falcons skated past No. 5 Michigan Tech in two. At the WCHA Final Five, Minnesota State won 4-0 over Bowling Green in the first semifinal on March 21 while Ferris State upended Alaska Anchorage, 5-4 in overtime. In the Broadmoor Trophy championship game at Van Andel Arena, the Mavericks defeated the Bulldogs 4-1 to gain the league s 60

63 automatic berth into the national tournament. Named to the WCHA Final Five All-Tournament Team were forwards Teddy Blueger of Minnesota State, Gerald Mayhew of Ferris State and Bryce Gervais of Minnesota State, defensemen Brett Stern of Minnesota State and Austin Coldwell of Alaska Anchorage, and goaltender Cole Huggins of Minnesota State. Huggins, who surrendered just one goal on the weekend, also earned Final Five tourney most outstanding player honors. MacNaughton Cup champion Ferris State and Broadmoor Trophy champion Minnesota State then carried the collective hopes of the WCHA into the 2014 NCAA Men s Div. 1 Tournament over the final weekend of March, and as they had all season long the Bulldogs and Mavericks did themselves and the league proud. Both clubs came up just short in NCAA regional competition, with Ferris State falling 2-1 in double overtime to North Dakota in the Midwest Regional championship game in Cincinnati, Ohio on March 29 and the Mavericks dropping a 2-1 decision to UMass-Lowell in a semifinal match up at the Northeast Regional in Worcester, Mass. Ferris State, who defeated Colgate 1-0 in their first Midwest Regional semifinal on March 28, finished their first campaign as a WCHA member with a stellar record and.709 winning percentage overall while Minnesota State wound up with a noteworthy mark, good for a.646 winning percentage. Regional winners Boston College (Northeast), Minnesota (West), North Dakota (Midwest) and Union College (East) then advanced to the 2014 NCAA Men s Frozen Four, held April 10 and 12 at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, with Union College ultimately claiming college hockey s top prize for March 8, 2014 Ferris State Captures wcha regular season ChampionshiP & MacNaughton Cup Big Rapids, Mich.

The Bulldogs posted a 2-1 triumph over Lake Superior State in the regular-season finale on Saturday (March 8) evening before an announced crowd of 2,551 fans inside the Ewigleben Ice Arena to claim the Western Collegiate Hockey Association egular season crown. The victory came on Senior Night as the Bulldogs honored five seniors in captain Scott Czarnowczan along with forwards Justin DeMartino, Andy Huff, Cory Kane and Garrett Thompson prior to their final collegiate regular-season home game. The senior class provided the early spark and accounted for all of FSU's scoring in helping the Bulldogs to the win. Senior Garrett Thompson struck early in the opening stanza for the Bulldogs with his 15th goal of the year only 1:03 into the game off a feed from fellow senior captain Scott Czarnowczan. That helped set the tone for the night as the Bulldogs took the early 1-0 lead. Thompson s marker came on a whistler to the glove side from the right circle on an early 4-on-3 Bulldog power-play. Czarnowczan then found the back of the net himself for the Bulldogs second goal less than a minute later at 1:54 of the opening frame off an assist from senior forward Justin DeMartino. The goal was Czarnowczan s fifth of the year and proved to be the eventual game-winner on a shot that went five-hole across the goal line. However, Lake Superior State trimmed the margin to 2-1 only :29 seconds into the second stanza on Colin Campbell s 14th goal this season in unassisted fashion, but the Lakers could get no closer as the Bulldogs shut the door. LSSU entered the contest needing a win to reach the league s postseason tournament while the Bulldogs were playing for a league crown. With the win, the Bulldogs moved in front of Minnesota State in the league standings and claimed the outright crown after the Mavericks battled to a tie with Michigan Tech. FSU finished the season with 42 league points to 41 for the Mavericks en route to the MacNaughton Cup. Czarnowczan picked up the game s first star by virtue of his two-point night while Thompson claimed the second star and junior goaltender CJ Motte was the third star of the night. Motte made 24 saves in moving to on the season. With the victory, the Bulldogs moved to overall this season and finished with a league record. The 25 total wins to date represent the fourth-most in a single season in school history. On a night in which the Bulldogs honored and recognized its five-member senior class, FSU recorded its 85th win over the last four years. The total for this year s senior class represents the best four-year stretch in school history.

71 longtime commissioner bruce mcleod retires concludes successful 20-season run as wcha leader Bruce McLeod, one of the most influential and successful commissioners in the history of collegiate ice hockey, announced his retirement on June 30, Concluding his 20th season at the helm of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, McLeod made a truly significant mark on both the game itself and the organization he led. It has been my distinct honor to serve this wonderful organization as Commissioner for the past 20 years and to be associated with the Western Collegiate Hockey Association for 49 years since 1965, said McLeod. The opportunity to get to know and to work alongside so many outstanding coaches and administrators, to become acquainted with so many marvelous student-athletes, and watch our sport grow and prosper has been a blessing. I will forever be a fan. Chosen by the membership to succeed the retiring commissioner Otto Breitenbach in 1994, McLeod has led the WCHA to ever greater heights. Recognized throughout the sport as one of its true leaders, his half-century of experience and wealth of knowledge about the game run the gamut from his days as a standout collegiate player at Minnesota Duluth in the 1960s, to a school administrator in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s where he worked closely with the league and served on numerous committees, and on to a notable tenure as commissioner of a premier collegiate athletic association. Pure and simple, McLeod has always been one of the game s biggest fans. We will forever be grateful for the commitment, loyalty and leadership of Commissioner McLeod, said Dr. Richard Davenport, President of Minnesota State University and Chair of the WCHA Board of Directors. His integrity, work ethic, unselfishness and enthusiasm for both the WCHA and the sport of college hockey shine through in every thing he does. Bruce has led the league to tremendous successes over his 20 years, all the while keeping the focus on the member institutions, student-athletes and staffs. We also are indebted to him for the tremendous efforts and leadership he put forth during the recent transition period in college hockey, where he was instrumental in making certain the WCHA remained a leader and a competitive and successful organization. We wish him all the best in retirement. A native of Fort Frances, Ontario, McLeod has presided over some of the most successful seasons in the seven decades of men s WCHA history, including eight national championship campaigns by league teams in 1997, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2011, and has from the get-go been a vocal and strong proponent of a women s WCHA that has won 14 consecutive national championships since its founding in His tenure with the WCHA has also seen 10 men s member team players awarded the Hobey Baker Memorial Award as college hockey s top player and six women s skaters win the Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award. Conference attendance for both the men s and women s leagues has also grown throughout his tenure, with the men s WCHA exceeding the 1,000,000 mark in home attendance for 18 consecutive seasons through On behalf of the conference s athletic directors, I want to thank Bruce for his years of service to the WCHA, said Suzanne R. Sanregret, Director of Athletics at Michigan Technological University and Chair of the WCHA. He has been a passionate leader for the league, and his work has added to the legacy of the WCHA and the prominence of college hockey across the country. Within the WCHA, McLeod has been the driving force behind the success of the WCHA Final Five playoff championship, having built productive, long-term relationships with the NHL s Minnesota Wild, Xcel Energy Center, the City of Saint Paul and FOX Sports North as a television partner between 2000 and 2013, and now forging new partnerships with Van Andel Arena, the City of Grand Rapids and the AHL s Grand Rapids Griffins for future WCHA Final Five championships beginning this coming March. At Xcel Energy Center, the WCHA Final Five steadily grew into what s been considered by many to be the best conference hockey tournament in the land based on attendance, revenue, sponsorships and exposure. The WCHA Final Five drew attendance totals in excess of 82,000 six times in the decade of the 2000s, with a record 88,900 in attendance in 2007, 87,579 in 2006, and 87,295 in McLeod was behind the launch of a new era for the league with the advent of an official web site at WCHA.com, the production of a weekly radio show known as This Week in the WCHA, a decade-by-decade video and narrative chronicle of the men s WCHA that covered the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, the creation of an all-new Broadmoor Trophy that is presented to the league playoff champion each year, high quality reproductions of the MacNaughton Cup and Broadmoor Trophy that go to the championship teams each year, a striking and bold update of the league s iconic logo and a unique WCHA Style Guide created in 2013 that accentuates the WCHA brand, its history and championships and is complete with downloadable league and team logos, official colors, and usage guidelines. And now, here in , he was a driving force in the first-ever conference-wide broadband and video streaming initiative with America ONE Sports a successful development which has enabled fans around the world to watch men s league-member home games live and on demand. McLeod s tenure has also included a regular connection to the international hockey community, which resulted in overseas trips for WCHA All-Star Teams in 1998 to Switzerland for the Kolin Cup and in 1990 to Norway, as well tours of WCHA member clubs by European-based hockey teams from Sweden, Switzerland, Finland, Norway, Italy and Latvia. McLeod has also been a regular visitor to the annual IIHF Men s World Championship, where he meets up with officials and his many friends within the international hockey community. McLeod orchestrated the WCHA s memorable 50th Anniversary Season celebration in , which featured among the many promotions a season-long announcement of the WCHA Top 50 Players in 50 Years, a commemorative poster and commemorative merchandise, and a highlight reception and celebration of the WCHA in Saint Paul during the WCHA Final Five weekend. Among the legends in the WCHA Top 50 Players in 50 Years are John Mayasich, Bill Red Hay, Keith Magnuson, Tony Esposito, Bill Masterton, Red Berenson, Brett Hull, Chris Chelios, Doug Palazzari, Mark Johnson, Huffer Christiansen, Bill Nyrop, Tom Kurvers, Ron Grahame and Greg Johnson. Ever a proponent of encouraging the growth and expansion of the collegiate game, McLeod has been instrumental in the addition of new men s member teams in Minnesota State University, Mankato in 1999, Bemidji State University and University of Nebraska Omaha in 2010, and most recently, in the midst of an upheaval of the collegiate hockey landscape and the loss of eight teams during the summer of 2012, keeping the WCHA out front as a leader. The league went out and secured six new teams in University of Alabama Huntsville, University of Alaska Fairbanks, Bowling Green State University, Ferris State University, Lake Superior State University and Northern Michigan University, and combined with University of Alaska Anchorage, Bemidji State, Michigan 69

72 alaska and athletic director gary gray recognized mcleod s contributions in a ceremonial face-off in the nanooks home game vs bsu Technological University and Minnesota State, give the league a highly-competitive 10-team circuit beginning with the season. McLeod has always been among a select group of individuals who have had continual impact on the college hockey scene whether the topic concerns playing rules, expansion, the national tournament, sponsorships and promotions, professional ice hockey, or television. He was instrumental in the formation of a new Division 1 college hockey league College Hockey America which announced in 2001 that they would name their championship trophy in his honor. He is a key contributor to the sport on national, international and professional levels and plays a lead role in the Hockey Commissioners Association. The HCA has been a springboard of ideas for the six Div. 1 conference s, having introduced a national rookie of the year award, the Derek Hines Unsung Hero Award, national player and rookie of the month awards, a XM Satellite radio show, and the formation of College Hockey, Inc. He also serves on the Board of Directors for both College Hockey Inc., and USA Hockey, Inc. Bruce has been a great colleague, and, more importantly, a mentor and friend, said Steve Hagwell, ECAC Hockey Commissioner. From the moment we met back in the late 1990s to today, Bruce s passion for the sport and tireless efforts to enhance the game not just the league he administers have been evident. Hockey, not just college hockey, is losing a true advocate of the sport. It truly is my privilege and honor to call Bruce my friend. In January of 2007, at the passing of longtime colleague and former WCHA Commissioner Otto Breitenbach, McLeod s passion could be felt in his words. There are really no adequate words to describe what Otto meant to all of us in the WCHA family as well as throughout athletic circles across the country, said McLeod. Otto touched so many lives in so many positive ways over the years and so many of us owe so very much to him. Our lasting memories of his qualities as a father, grandfather, coach, leader and mentor are a fitting tribute to a truly great man. Three words always come to mind when I think of Otto quality, class, gentleman. He has left a noteworthy legacy through everyone that ever had a chance to know him and we will all miss him dearly. McLeod s on-going efforts on behalf of amateur ice hockey have seen him twice honored nationally first with the United States Hockey Hall of Fame s first-ever President s Award in 2003 and second with the American Hockey Coaches Association Jim Fullerton Award in The President s Award is presented to an individual who has made a significant and long-term commitment to the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame. Being honored with the first President s Award was unexpected, but I m very appreciative, said McLeod at the time. When I work with various groups, I don t think about recognition such as this. In my many years of working with the United States Hockey Hall of Fame, the pleasure has truly been mine. The Jim Fullerton Award, meanwhile, recognizes an individual who loves the purity of the sport of ice hockey whether a coach, administrator, trainer, official, journalist or simply a fan and who exemplifies Jim Fullerton, who gave as much as he received and never stopped caring about the direction in which the game was heading. McLeod has been involved with the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame s annual fund-raising game since it s inception in 1974, when it was first played in the Eveleth Hippodrome, and has helped bring the game into ever bigger arenas. Through Bruce s efforts and commitment to help the Hall, we have this wonderful college hockey game once a year and in many cases our Faceoff Classic has opened new arenas across the country, said Jim Findley, Board of Directors and President of the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame. In , commitment to the game by the league and its teams continued as strong as ever, and McLeod could not have been happier that the future of the league remained bright. Covering a wide and diverse geographical area of more than 4,100 miles and across five time zones, the 10 men s and eight women s WCHA-member institutions feature the best in both educational and athletic environments, administrations dedicated to the sport and the student-athlete, and enthusiastic fans across the board. 70

73 As a group, we ve had some bumps and bruises and weathered some difficult times, but the one thing that has remained constant has been our respect of each other and our collective commitment and effort to do what s best both for the WCHA and the game of ice hockey, said McLeod. And of that I could not be more proud. Prior to being WCHA Commissioner, McLeod had over 25 years of service at his alma mater of Minnesota Duluth, including serving as Athletic Director, assistant athletic director, business manager, and sports information director after graduating in One of the people he worked for at UMD and still admires to this day was the late Ralph Romano, former hockey coach and successful athletic director who was a major influence in the growth and success of collegiate athletics there. McLeod was a four-year hockey player for the Bulldogs, producing 81 points in 77 games as a winger between He ranked second in scoring in the WCHA as a sophomore and served as UMD s team captain in Indeed, the Western Collegiate Hockey Association and the entire ice hockey community owe a debt of gratitude to Bruce McLeod. His tireless efforts in promoting the game at all levels, ensuring a memorable experience for student-athletes who play the game, and working diligently to ensure its continued growth and health, have ensured a legacy that puts him among the legends of the game. what they said about bruce mcleod Joe Bertagna, Commissioner, Hockey East Association: Bruce has become not just a professional peer but a good friend. While all of us who serve as commissioners have passion for our jobs, no one has been more emotionally attached to the fortunes of his conference than Bruce has been to the WCHA. His strong appreciation of history and tradition is something for which I will always remember him. He has made more contributions to our game than most people will ever realize or appreciate. Dean Blais, Coach, Nebraska Omaha & North Dakota: Bruce McLeod has been a friend for over 40 years and has been instrumental in the success of the WCHA at all levels. His leadership and guidance has provided opportunities for athletes, coaches, trainers and administrators to excel at the highest level. He will be missed by everyone, but will enjoy his leisure and freedoms. Thank you Bruce! Keith Huffer Christiansen, UMD teammate: Bruce McLeod has been a loyal and supportive friend to me for over 50 years. I know he has devoted his life to the betterment of college hockey.

Rick Comley, Former Coach, Lake Superior State, Northern Michigan, Michigan State: In many ways Bruce McLeod has been the best that college hockey has to offer. Every day his goal was to make the WCHA the best it could be. Coaches and administrators will miss his friendship and guidance. Best wishes Bruce, and thanks for all you have done. Craig Dahl, Former Coach, St. Cloud State: Congratulations on your retirement from a long career of service to the WCHA. You are an example of class, caring, and integrity. And you always made others feel special. My thanks to you my friend! Bob DeGregorio, Commissioner, Atlantic Hockey Association: Bruce McLeod has been a catalyst in helping to improve and advance Division 1 Ice Hockey. Over the years I have had the pleasure of working with him in several capacities and he has always worked for the betterment of Division 1 Ice Hockey. We have become good friends through our many hours together attending meetings, the Ice Breaker, the Frozen Four, etc. He loves dinner in the North End in Boston and the cannoli's from Mike s. I wish Bruce a long, healthy and happy retirement. Pat Francisco, UMD Hockey Teammate: I ve known Bruce since he came to UMD as a skinny kid from Fort Frances. From that time till now, Bruce has always shown the ability to positively connect with people and to exhibit enduring loyalty. Bruce is inclusive and the consummate team player. If one looks back at the measurable success of the WCHA, one would find these virtues to be at the heart of that success. That s his style, that s his legacy, and in my opinion, it is more rare than it ought to be in today s business world. I congratulate Bruce on his success and retirement and I am proud to call him teammate and friend. Ron Grahame, Assistant Vice Chancellor/Senior Associate Athletics Director, University of Denver: I have known Bruce McLeod for over 30 years and have always viewed him as a principled individual, dedicated to doing what was best for college hockey and the sport of ice hockey. He could be counted on to bring all constituents together toward a common goal while acknowledging the many different perspectives of each institution and their staff, as well as other conferences. His tireless work as the Commissioner of the WCHA was instrumental in growing the league to a position of preeminence throughout the country. Steve Hagwell, Commissioner, ECAC Hockey: Bruce has been a great colleague, and, more importantly, a mentor and friend. From the moment we met back in the late 1990s to today, Bruce's passion for the sport and tireless efforts to enhance the game not just the league he administers have been evident. Hockey, not just college hockey, is losing a true advocate of the sport. It truly is my privilege and honor to call Bruce my friend. I will miss our interaction, but certainly hope that our paths continue to cross. Norm Jones, Longtime Hockey Television and Radio Broadcaster: I grew up in Colorado Springs watching the WCHA and Colorado College. My first media job was broadcasting CC hockey and then later University of Denver hockey. My point is to simply focus on the great tradition of WCHA hockey through the years. In my opinion, there was no one better than Bruce McLeod in maintaining and improving upon the foundation of the best collegiate hockey league in the country. His development of the post-season tournament and WCHA Final Five made it the best in the country. What I most respect about Bruce was his steadfast and determined effort to make certain the WCHA continued on in the strongest possible manner following the recent shake-up of the college hockey landscape. I will always value his friendship and support. Tom Kurvers, former NHL General Manager, Stanley Cup Winner, Hobey Baker Memorial Award Winner: Bruce has been a good friend since we met in Duluth in His commitment to UMD and the WCHA have helped shape college hockey. The WCHA tournament became one of the finest hockey events in the world under his guidance. Bruce is a hockey lifer and a genuine good guy. Walt Kyle, Coach, Northern Michigan: I have been fortunate to know Bruce closely for more than 30 years, from his time at Minnesota Duluth, the first era when Northern Michigan was in the WCHA, and on to him being WCHA Commissioner. His love and passion for the game of college hockey, and his dedication and commitment to the sport, have always been at the forefront. His integrity and his leadership, and the enthusiasm that comes through in every conversation I ve had with him, have left no doubt that what he was doing was always in the best interest of the league and the game. I will always value his friendship and advice. Jack Larson, General Manager, Xcel Energy Center: 71

We couldn t have asked for a better partner and we wish him all the best. Don Lucia, Coach, Minnesota & Colorado College: When I arrived at Colorado College in 1993 and spent the next 20 years coaching in the WCHA, there was no greater mentor for me than Bruce McLeod. He is someone I have always greatly respected and nobody gave more to the WCHA as a player and administrator, or cared more about the league, than Bruce. I want to thank him for all his service to help grow college hockey during his time and wish him all the best in retirement. Joel Maturi, Former Athletic Director, Minnesota: I have always stated that being the Commissioner of a one-sport conference is extremely challenging because of the membership make-up. Bruce McLeod has done an unbelievable job of responding to the needs of the WCHA membership, whether they be Division I, II or III institutions. The success of the WCHA on and off the ice is second to none in college hockey. We have been the envy of all due to Bruce s ability to add institutions, improve the play-off system and develop the successful WCHA Final Five. Bruce is respected by his colleagues for his love of the game, his ability to communicate and his desire to do what is best for the sport. His imprint on the league and the game are immeasurable.

A person of unfailing dedication, he truly ranks as a collegiate hockey legend.

Tom Serratore, Coach, Bemidji State: Bruce McLeod has been a steady presence in the world of college hockey, helping shape one of the most prestigious college hockey conferences in the nation. His commitment to the game, its players, fans and institution members is evident in the great successes of the WCHA and its tremendous fan following. His vision and integrity will be greatly missed. Greg Shepherd, WCHA Supervisor of Officials, College Referee: For more than 20 years as a colleague and over 30 years as a friend, Bruce McLeod has always been a person I looked up to. This is a sad day for our sport. We are losing a true mentor. A person that cares about everyone more then himself; a person that works 365 days a year to make college hockey the best. I have learned so much from Bruce. How to treat people, how to deal with upset coaches, and just life in general. Because of him, I am a better man, a better supervisor and a better person. The WCHA and all of college will miss him and what he has done. Mike Snee, Executive Director, College Hockey, Inc.: Bruce McLeod has contributed so much to college hockey since his playing career began at Minnesota Duluth in It will be hard to imagine him not being commissioner of the WCHA next fall. I ve been fortunate to work with Bruce in a variety of roles for nearly 15 years now and have enjoyed all of it. His love for college hockey is evident the moment you meet him. Bruce is a true legend of college hockey! Rick Yeo, Former Athletic Director, Michigan Tech: I was honored to have been the Chair of the Selection Committee when Bruce McLeod was chosen as WCHA Commissioner. During his tenure, he exhibited the fine qualities that we expected from him in making our decision. Bruce was considered the leading Commissioner in NCAA hockey, due to his keen knowledge of the game, tireless efforts to do whatever was best for the sport, and willingness to communicate with all levels to improve the game. One of his major accomplishments, I believe, is the growth of the WCHA Final Five, which brought about capacity attendance and helped league member institutions considerably financially. Bruce was 100% committed to his task and will be a difficult man to replace. He is a dear friend and I wish him well in his much-deserved retirement.

93 wcha history 91

94 a history of tradition & success by John Gilbert for 50th Anniversary Season of A look back through the history of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association is filled with spectacular achievements and stunning surprises. It is a league that produced so many highlights that it took 51 years for the WCHA to celebrate its first 50 years. The answer to that trivia quiz-level puzzle is that the league didn t play as a league for the season, so it took 51 years to play 50 seasons. And, the WCHA celebrated its 50th anniversary throughout the season, which was the 50th year since the original Midwest Collegiate Hockey League was first transformed into the Western Intercollegiate Hockey League (WIHL) and then re-named the WCHA. Confusing? Maybe. Dominant? Definitely. There have been national collegiate hockey championship tournaments since 1948, when Michigan beat Dartmouth for the title at Colorado Springs. The first 10 national tournaments were held at the figure-skating arena adjacent to the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, Colo., a wide but short rink that became legendary as the Broadmoor World Arena. Michigan took third and Colorado College fourth in 1949, with Colorado College winning the national title in 1950, and Michigan regaining the throne in Officially, the WCHA goes back to the fall of 1951, when Michigan coach Vic Heyliger coaxed his peers into organizing something called the Midwest Collegiate Hockey League. Michigan, Michigan State, Michigan Tech, Minnesota, North Dakota, Denver and Colorado College were the original entrants. So in the annals of national championships, charter members Michigan actually had two and CC one before the league even began. In those days, the Midwest Collegiate league was filled with colorful characters. Colorado College won the first league title with a 10-2 record under coach Cheddy Thompson, while Denver and Michigan tied for second at 9-3. But Michigan, which was 22-4 overall, went on to win its second of three consecutive national titles by beating CC in the final,right there on the Tigers home ice at the Broadmoor. Colorado College forwards Tony Frasca, league scoring champion Ron Hartwell (40-27=67) and Omer Brandt swept the leagueπs first all-star spots, and were joined by Tigers goalie Ken Kinsley, while Denver defensemen Eddie Miller and Don Burgess filled out the first team. Lurking on the second team, however, was a freshman at Minnesota named John Mayasich, a legendary scorer from Eveleth High School, who was just starting to carve out a Hallof-Fame college career with the Gophers by scoring 32 goals and assisting on 30 more for 32-30=62 rookie points, in a season. Mayasich led the Gophers to the second conference title in , with a 10-game winning streak that earned a 16-4 record (22-5 overall). The legendary John Mariucci replaced Doc Romnes to coach his first season that year, and while Mayasich scored an improbable 42-36=78 to top league scorers, teammate Jim Mattson also was the top goalie with a 2.36 goals-against average and a.910 saves percentage. Michigan, however, under the redoubtable Heyliger, captured the national title for the third straight time and fourth in the event s first six years by beating Minnesota 7-3 in the NCAA final. For Year Three in , the fledgling league changed its name to the Western Intercollegiate Hockey League (WIHL), and Minnesota won the title again, with a record ( overall), as Mayasich won his second straight league scoring title with , matching his sophomore points. Again, however, the Gophers came up short in the national tournament, this time beating Boston College 14-1 in the semifinals, only to lose 5-4 in overtime to RPI in the 1954 title match. As a senior in , Mayasich scored 41-39=80 for his third straight league scoring title, giving him a four-year total of 144 goals, 154 assists and 298 points, a mark that still stands in the Gopher record books. But winning league and national titles were elusive for Minnesota, and Colorado College returned to the league pinnacle in 1955, although the Tigers again lost to Michigan, 5-3, in the national championship. Michigan followed up by winning both the league and national crowns in , with Michigan Tech the runner-up in both. The Wolverines outgunned Tech 7-5 for the title, after depending all season on the stout goaltending of Lorne Howes, who had a1.90 goals-against mark in 22 games. John Andrews of CC won the league scoring title with 27-25=52, edging North Dakota s Bill Reichart and Tech s Jack McManus by one point. Nobody had a knockout punch like Mayasich, but Colorado College countered with a Haymaker, of its own, as Bill Hay supplanted Mayasich as the most prolific league scorer. Hay led CC to the league title in for the second time in three years, but this time they also tacked on the NCAA crown, overrunning Michigan 13-6 in the title game. Reichart (24-16=40) beat teammate Jim Ridley and Hay for the league scoring title. Hay led the WIHL in scoring the next year, in , with 16-32=48, but North Dakota, behind Bob Peabody s league-leading goalie play, won the league. Coach Murray Armstrong s Denver outfit rose from third place to sting the Sioux 6-2 in the NCAA final, as the tournament left what had been its only home at the Broadmoor for Williams Arena in Minneapolis. michigan celebrates its 1952 ncaa championship. the wolverines were the league s first national title team, the first of a record 37 frozen four crowns overall. 92

95 Difficult as it is to believe, hockey types sometimes disagree, and hassles within the elite seven-team WIHL led to the league disbanding for the season, only to reform as the Western Collegiate Hockey Association one year later. Meantime, league cohesiveness or not, the West prevailed nationally regardless, as North Dakota went to the NCAA tournament in Troy, N.Y., and beat Michigan State 4-3 in overtime in the 1959 title game. Armstrong s Denver dynasty took command when the WCHA played its first official season in , the Pioneers winning both the league and NCAA titles behind Bill Masterton s scoring, Marty Howe s defense and George Kirkwood s goaltending. Michigan Tech and North Dakota were the closest challengers, and Tech battled the Pioneers to the national finals before yielding 5-3 at Matthews Arena in Boston. Masterton, who won the league scoring title at 17-27=44, helped Denver post a overall record. Masterton returned for the term, on what some veteran observers claimed was the greatest Denver team ever. The league scoring title went to Denver s Jerry Walker (29-15=44), while Howe joined teammate George Konik to the All-WCHA team. Needless to say, Denver dominated the WCHA, and bolstered its 17-1 league record with a second straight NCAA title, winning a home-ice 12-2 rout over St. Lawrence in the 1961 final, to finish a magnificent Denver also won the league crown in , and came back for more later in the decade, but competition from within the league was catching up to the Pioneers. John MacInnes lured a goaltender named Garry Bauman to Houghton, where Lou Angotti and a herd of other blue-chippers made Michigan Tech a major threat. Michigan had Gordon Red Berenson and later Gordon Wilkie and Gary Butler, while Minnesota followed the Ken Yackel era with a defenseman named Lou Nanne, who led the league in scoring. Bauman was All-WCHA goalie for three straight seasons, beginning in when the Huskies made old Dee Stadium on Houghton s riverfront rock with a 17-3 championship ledger, and a 29-3 overall mark. Michigan finished 15-3 (22-5 overall) behind Berenson s 24-17=41 scoring title. The NCAA final four a term commonly used for hockey in those years was in Utica, N.Y., but the West inflicted its usual superiority. Tech beat St. Lawrence 6-1, although Clarkson edged Michigan 5-4 in the other semifinal. No problem. Tech demolished Clarkson 7-1 in the final, while Michigan whipped St. Lawrence 5-1 for third place. The WCHA survived some heavy-duty controversy in the 60s. Minnesota Coach and Godfather John Mariucci fought to establish new ground-rules for the advancement of U.S. hockey players by seeking to prevent college teams from recruiting their usual streams of over-age Canadian players. Routinely brought in after playing Canadian junior hockey through age 20, it was obvious that the 21-year-old freshmen from the virtual professional breeding ground of Canadian junior hockey was dominating U.S. college teams comprised of high school graduates who come to college at age 18. Mariucci stressed that the trend precluded the development of U.S. talent. For his efforts, Mariucci is widely credited for disrupting the WCHA by refusing to play Denver s Canadian-filled club. Privately, though, John gave full attribution for that move to Minnesota athletic director Marsh Ryman, who ultimately decreed that Minnesota would not schedule Denver. So the league sputtered along on a percentage basis instead of points because of an imbalance of games, with some entrants refusing to play others. In the season, Denver (12-6-0) and North Dakota (11-5-2) shared rights to the MacNaughton Cup, and the Fighting Sioux settled the matter where it mattered most, by beating Denver in the NCAA final. Denver beat North Dakota 5-4 in overtime for the WCHA playoff crown, but North Dakota reversed it to win the national title 6-5 in Boston. Minnesota came in fourth at behind Tech as Nanne (9-23=32) became the first defenseman to ever lead the league in scoring. Nanne was a rare Minnesota recruit from Canada, and Mariucci, who also had brought in Murray Williamson, a Canadian who gained All- American honors, said he always tried to have a Canadian on the roster, just to prove I don t discriminate. The University of Michigan moved back on top of the conference at in , while Denver finished second at Denver beat the Wolverines 6-2 in a showdown in Ann Arbor to win the MacNaughton Cup as league playoff champ, but Michigan coach Al Renfrew gained revenge on Armstrong by beating DU 6-3 in the NCAA final on the Pioneers home ice, in Denver. At Michigan Tech, MacInnes, a former goaltender, followed up the career of Bauman with a pair of aces, recruiting the exceptional duo of Tony Esposito and Rick Best. Esposito went on to great fame in the National Hockey League, but in college, Best was equally as good, and the two alternated. Bauman had been All-American in 1963 and 1964, Esposito was All-American in 1965 and 1966, with Best claiming that award in The Best/ Esposito tandem led the Huskies to second place (12-5-1) behind North Dakota (13-3) in North Dakota had Don Ross and Gerry Kell leading the way, but Tech beat the Fighting Sioux in the league playoff final and went on to prevail for the national title, whipping Boston College 8-2 in the final at Providence, R.I. to finish Michigan s Mel Wakabayashi won the scoring title at 13-17=30, and Minnesota had a center named Doug Woog. The season was pivotal for several reasons. For one, the WCHA let the University of Minnesota-Duluth come into the league as its eighth team. The league race was won by Michigan Tech, which went as Esposito recorded a.932 save percentage. North Dakota, which added super-centers Dennis Hextall and Terry Casey, tied Minnesota for second place. Doug Volmar of Michigan State won the scoring title, although the Spartans finished 9-11 and in sixth place. Then Michigan State established a standard for late-blooming teams by rising up at playoff time to win 3-2 at Michigan and 4-3 at Michigan Tech to reach the Final Four in Minneapolis. Incredibly, the Spartans surprised Boston University 2-1 in the semifinals, then, after Clarkson beat Denver 4-3, Michigan State shocked Clarkson 6-1 to win the NCAA tournament. The title for coach Amo Bessone also left the all-ncaa tournament team wearing green, as goaltender Gaye Cooley, defenseman Don Heaphy, and forwards Mike Coppo and Brian McAndrew earned spots. In , North Dakota beat Denver, Michigan Tech and Michigan for the conference title, but Minnesota Duluth s pintsized Keith Huffer Christiansen stole the spotlight, winning the league scoring title with 15-31=46. Bruce McLeod, who would go on to one day become WCHA commissioner, was runner-up to his stocky linemate with 18-16=34. UMD played in the short bandminnesota coach john mariucci and star player john mayasich 93

96 box rink above the Duluth Curling Club in its first WCHA year, but moved into the sparkling new Duluth Arena. Christiansen christened the new harborside facility in UMD s first WCHA game there, recording a school-record six assists in an 8-1 drubbing of archrival Minnesota. It took more than spectacular scoring to win the WCHA in , however, as North Dakota won the league crown behind goaltender Mike Lefty Curran at 16-6 in However, at the NCAA tournament in Syracuse, N.Y., that year, the unthinkable happened: The West was shut out of the championship game for the first time. Cornell beat North Dakota 1-0 and Boston University beat Michigan State 4-2, then Cornell beat BU 4-1 for the title. Denver returned things to normal in , winning the league title at 15-3 and the NCAA title by beating North Dakota in an all-western final at the Duluth Arena. The 4-0 championship victory meant Denver, after starting the season 6-5-1, finished the season with an incredible 22-game winning streak. Goalie Gerry Powers (1.78 gaa,.930 sv%) led Denver to its overall record, supported by defenseman Keith Magnuson, and forwards such as Cliff Koroll and Craig Patrick. Minnesota s Bill Klatt (18-12=30) won the scoring title and made an impressive tandem with Gary Gambucci (7-22=29), while Bob Munro, Terry Abram and goalie Curran starred in North Dakota s Barn. Denver (14-6) lost the narrowest of league races to Michigan Tech (14-5-1) for the title, and both teams advanced to the final four. Back at the aging Broadmoor, but with speedster George Morrison leading the way, Denver crushed Harvard 9-2 and won the NCAA crown by beating Cornell 4-3 in the final. The decade of the 1970s arrived, and again the look of college hockey and the WCHA changed forevermore. Minnesota, under coach Glen Sonmor, made its move to become a solid annual contender by playing virtually an entire homestate roster, while Badger Bob Johnson turned the new University of Wisconsin Division I program into a national power. Those two emerging contenders became the most ferocious rivals of the next two decades. In the season, Minnesota was led by prize goaltender Murray McLachlan and a dashing freshman centerman named Mike Antonovich, plus another freshman center named Dean Blais, and shocked the league to claim the first Golden Gophers title since 1954 with a school-record-setting league mark (20-12 overall). Thirteen times that season, Minnesota rallied from being tied or behind in the third period to win, beating out traditional powerhouse teams from Denver and Michigan Tech. But Tech and Wisconsin, which had finished for a very solid fourth place in its first league season, won regional verdicts to advance to the NCAA Final Four. Both lost, however, in the semifinals, and Cornell beat Clarkson 6-4 for the title in Lake Placid. Michigan Tech (18-4) topped Denver and Wisconsin for the title, but again the playoffs proved surprising. This time, sophomore Antonovich led Minnesota from a fifth-place WCHA ledger through a string of upsets, defeating Wisconsin and North Dakota in the Madison regional, to reach the NCAA final four. At Syracuse, the Golden Gophers came from behind with three late goals to tie, and ambushed Harvard 6-5 in an overtime semifinal, but the Gopher quest for Minnesota s first national title fell 4-2 to Boston University in the final. It was the first of two straight titles for BU. In , Notre Dame became the 10th WCHA entry. Denver won the league at19-9, Wisconsin was one game back at 20-8, and North Dakota was third. A tiny Colorado College center named Doug Palazzari scored 27-30=57 to win the scoring race. In the NCAA tournament at Boston Garden, Wisconsin wound up beating Denver 5-2, but it was in the third-place game, while Boston University beat Cornell 4-0 in the final. For the first time, the WCHA failed to win the crown for three straight years. Minnesota s fortunes had nosedived in , with Sonmor leaving in midseason to organize the Minnesota Fighting Saints in the old World Hockey Association, and he took Antonovich with him. Ken Yackel took over as interim coach until he convinced athletic director Paul Giel to entrust the Gopher program to a bright, young coach named Herb Brooks. Brooks took over in the fall of 1972, and the rest of the decade was a dreamscape for long-suffering Gopher fans. Brooks guided the program to fulfill Mariucci s all-minnesota dream, zooming from last place into contention in his first season, then winning Minnesota s first two NCAA championships the next three years, while finishing as NCAA runner-up in the year between those two titles. In all, Brooks led Minnesota to three NCAA championships in a six-year span, as the enormous rivalry between Minnesota, with Brooks, and Wisconsin, under Johnson, grew ever hotter, with both schools taking turns outdoing the other. In , Denver (20-8) beat Notre Dame (19-9) for the conference championship, with Eddie Bumbacco of the Fighting Irish winning the scoring title at 31-34=65 for Lefty Smith. But Wisconsin, a close third at , got hot behind tourney most-valuable-player Dean Talafous and stormed to the NCAA crown with a 4-2 victory in Boston over a Denver powerhouse that included goalie Ron Grahame and forward Peter McNab. Wisconsin wound up In , Michigan Tech won the league title at , but Minnesota, which finished a distant second at , had league-leading goaltender Brad Shelstad and a feisty centerman in Mike Polich, and Brooks worked his first coaching magic to beat Michigan and Denver in total-goal series to gain a spot in the final four in Boston Garden. The Gophers seemed to be fading in the face of a closing rally by Boston University in the semifinals until Polich s dramatic shorthanded goal let the Gophers gain a 5-4 triumph. And Minnesota beat league-champ Michigan Tech 4-2 for the school s first NCAA hockey title. A year later, Minnesota won the WCHA title at 24-8, setting school records for league wins with a overall mark. But Tech, second at (32-10 overall), returned the favor and thrashed the Gophers 6-1 in the 1975 NCAA final at St. Louis. Michigan State s Tom Ross (32-48=80) supplanted teammate Steve Colp for the league scoring title, while Brooks convinced Larry Thayer to leave his job as Zamboni driver at Edina s Braemar Arena, come out for the team, and tend goal. Thayer led the league with a 2.50 goals-against average in 16 games. In , Minnesota and Michigan Tech did one more post-season pirouette. Tech won the WCHA title at , which broke the league record again, and was 34-9 overall. Michigan State was second with its explosive line of Steve Colp-Tom Ross- Daryl Rice, and Minnesota took third. The WCHA playoffs played down to two winners in those days, with both advancing to the NCAA Final Four, and after winning first-round sets, Minnesota and Michigan State collided at East Lansing for a two-game, total-goal series. They tied 2-2 in the first game, and they tied 6-6 on a Sunday afternoon in the second game, then they played on and on. Finally, Minnesota won 7-6 in the third overtime, missing its flight home but gaining a spot in the NCAA tournament in Denver. In the semifinals, the Gophers stung Boston University 4-2 in a game that featured a brawl near the Minnesota bench. Then the aroused Gophers upended the Michigan Tech Huskies 6-4 behind tournament MVP Tom Vannelli. The WCHA was filled with great players in that season. Michigan Tech had Mike Zuke (34-39=73) and George Lyle (38-33=71), among others. The Gophers had future NHLers Tom Younghans, Reed Larson, Russ Anderson and Warren Miller. Michigan State had the league s 1-2 scorers in Ross at 41-42=83 and Colp at 33-48=81, with Rice chipping in 19-46=65. Colp had led the league in at 31-41=72; Ross upped the ante to a league-best 32-48=80 in ; then Ross put it out of reach at 41-42=83 in Meanwhile, in Madison, Badger Bob s Badgers were mobilized for a frontal assault, and in the Badgers went to win the WCHA by 12 points over Notre Dame. The Badgers swept three two-game playoff sets to reach the NCAA tournament in Detroit, where they beat New Hampshire 4-3 in overtime in the semis and Michigan 6-5 in an overtime final. Wisconsin goalie Julian Baretta, defenseman Craig Norwich, and forwards Mike Eaves and Mark Johnson led the way, although Michigan s Dave Debol won league scoring honors at 34-37=71. The next season, Wisconsin coach Johnson said he learned never to plan a celebration too soon. The league gave out four points per game in WCHA-style inflation, and the Badgers led second place Denver by seven points going into the eight-point final series of Denver swept both games in Madison to wind up , one point ahead of the Badgers (21-9-2). The league scoring race wound up a tie between power-playmates Mark Johnson, the coach s kid, at 39-31=70, and Eaves at 25-45=70. Meanwhile, Colorado College upset Denver in league playoffs, and only Wisconsin represented the WCHA at the Final Four, losing

BU went on to beat Boston College 5-3 in the first all-boston final. Amid all those glittering WCHA seasons, if one had to be picked where talent was absolutely the best, it was North Dakota had David Christian, Kevin Maxwell, Mark Taylor, Howard Walker, Phil Sykes, Marc Chorney, Cary Eades and goaltender Bob Iwabuchi, and went to Minnesota for the final weekend of the season against a Gopher team that included Neal Broten, Rob McClanahan, Steve Christoff, Eric Strobel, Phil Verchota, defensemen Bill Baker and Mike Ramsey, and goaltender Steve Janaszak. The Gophers won 5-2 to move to within one point of the Sioux for first place, but North Dakota won on the final night, with Christian getting his team s last two goals in a 4-2 victory, to finish to Minnesota s UMD was third at , and Gus Hendrickson s Bulldogs included Mark Pavelich, John Harrington and defenseman Curt Giles. Wisconsin was fourth at , with Mark Johnson and defenseman Bob Suter in the forefront. Colorado College was not a contender, but the Tigers Dave Delich (25-45=70) won the scoring title. After both Minnesota and North Dakota made it through the league playoffs to reach the final four in Detroit s Olympia, the Gophers beat New Hampshire 4-3 while the Fighting Sioux beat Dartmouth 4-2. In the final, freshman Neal Broten hurtled through the air to stab a chip-shot up and over Sioux goaltender Iwabuchi, who had come out to challenge. That proved to be the game-winner as Minnesota gave Brooks a 4-3 conquest of Gino Gasparini s North Dakota outfit, his third NCAA crown in six years of what was only a seven-year tenure. The next year was , and Brooks took those eight Gophers, plus Mark Johnson, Suter, Harrington, Pavelich and Christian, with him. Those 13 WCHA representatives went off to Lake Placid, N.Y., to slay the Soviet Union s dragon and go on to win the Olympic gold medal in the most incredible sports story in U.S. history. Back in the WCHA, North Dakota (21-6-1) won the league and NCAA titles, although Minnesota was a surprising second in WCHA play, without five underclassmen who were with the Olympic team, and with former assistant Brad Buetow at the interim helm. The Gophers still had Tim Harrer, who set a Gopher record by winning the scoring race with 45 goals (45-24=69), plus Don Micheletti, Steve Ulseth and freshman Aaron Broten, Neal s brother. In the playoffs, the NCAA granted newcomer Northern Michigan a slot as the third West seed essentially the fifth team in the Final Four. The Wildcats had to play a one-game showdown at Minnesota, and won a controversial 4-3 overtime decision after a regulation bullet from center ice by Aaron Broten tore through the upper right corner netting, hitting the plexiglass with such velocity that the referee decided that it couldn t have gone through the net. Television videotape later confirmed the frustration that left the Gophers at home, with the goal that would have won it in regulation being disallowed. North Dakota beat Dartmouth 4-1 in the semis and smacked Northern Michigan 5-2 in the title game at Providence. Wisconsin got the name Back-Door Badgers for the season, when they finished second to a Minnesota team that appeared dominant. Enough of Aaron Broten s goals and assists were counted that season to let him break the ancient scoring record of Johnny Mayasich, notching an incredible 106 points with 47 goals and 59 assists. League MVP Ulseth won the WCHA scoring title at 28-35=63, and scored 41-52=93 overall to take second in team scoring to Aaron Broten, while Butsy Erickson added 39-47=86. Neal Broten, who returned from the Miracle on Ice U.S. Olympic team to play another year with brother Aaron for the Gophers, finished seventh on the team scoring sheet at 17-54=71. That was the year the Hobey Baker Award was inaugurated, and Neal was named the winner, perhaps more for his gold medalness than his season. The Gophers had gone 20-8 to take the league title, and overall. While Minnesota was beating UMD in a routine first round of WCHA playoffs, there was nothing routine about the other final series, at Madison. Wisconsin blew out Colorado College 8-2, but was shocked when the Tigers came back to whip the Badgers 11-4 in the second game and claim the total-goal set Minnesota then beat CC in the second-round playoff series for the automatic NCAA berth. That year, however, the NCAA had decided to expand the tournament to eight teams, and the committee voted to bring back Wisconsin from elimination and into the tournament, which started with four two-game, total-goal sets. Wisconsin went to Clarkson and won 3-2, then battled to a 6-6 tie to win the series and join Minnesota, Michigan Tech and Northern Michigan in an all-west final four in Duluth. Minnesota played close to a perfect game to blitz Michigan Tech 7-2 in the semifinals, while the Badgers surprised Northern Michigan 5-1. Then the Badgers stunned Minnesota 6-3 in the championship game, and red-clad fans took over an entire city block on Duluth s downtown Superior Street for a raucous celebration. One season later, in , the WCHA suffered a jolt when Michigan led regional league members Michigan State, Michigan Tech and Notre Dame to leave the WCHA, and they started the Central Collegiate Hockey Association. The WCHA persevered as a six-team league, and goaltender Jon Casey (.919 saves percentage) led North Dakota (19-7) to the league title over Wisconsin 95

98 (18-7-1). Wisconsin beat the Sioux for the league playoff title, but North Dakota (35-12 overall) beat the Badgers ( overall) in the 1982 NCAA final in Providence. Western fans noted the WCHA produced both finalists, while nobody from the CCHA made it to the final four, in case anyone thought the league might falter. After the season, Jeff Sauer replaced Bob Johnson at the University of Wisconsin, ending another historic coaching tenure. Brooks and Johnson, such intense rivals, both later established their talents at the pro level. Johnson, who later coached the 1988 U.S. Olympic team, became president of the Amateur Hockey Association of the U.S. and changed that title to USA Hockey, and also coached both Calgary and Pittsburgh in the NHL, where he got a national stage for his favorite phrase: It s a great day for hockey. After coaching the Penguins to the 1991 Stanley Cup, Johnson was stricken by a sudden and tragic bout with brain cancer and died before the next season started. Brooks, who forever changed the course of U.S. hockey with the 1980 Olympic gold medal, later coached the New York Rangers, New Jersey Devils, Minnesota North Stars and Pittsburgh Penguins in the NHL, then coached the 2002 U.S. team to the Olympic silver medal at Salt Lake City. Brooks died, also tragically, in a one-vehicle rollover on August 11, 2003, while returning home from a hockey fund-raising golf tournament on the Iron Range. Brooks and Johnson both were cut short with so much more to offer the game, but their personalities, and their legacies, will live forever in WCHA annals. In , Buetow guided the Gophers to their second league title in three years at ( overall), with Scott Bjugstad (21-35=56) winning the scoring title. North Dakota was second, four points back, behind Jon Casey s sparkling.921 saves percentage, and the Badgers were third. The Badgers, in coach Jeff Sauer s first season, hit the road for the playoffs, and took the roughest route, going first to Grand Forks to defeat the Fighting Sioux in total goals with a 1-1 tie and a three-overtime 6-5 second game, then to Minnesota to sweep the Gophers 5-1 and 3-2. Wisconsin kept winning in the preliminary NCAA pairings and, by surprise, reached the NCAA tournament in Grand Forks. More surprises were coming, as the Badgers beat Providence 2-0 in the semifinals and whipped Harvard 6-2 to win the NCAA title. A shift in the balance of power occurred when Mike Sertich was named as a one-year replacement when Gus Hendrickson was unceremoniously fired at UMD. Sertich was voted coach of the year for igniting a rise in Bulldogs fortunes, and he continued in what he later joked was the longest interim coaching term in history. He again won the award the next two seasons, directing the Bulldogs to WCHA titles in and Sertich s dazzling array of stars in the term included the league s top scorer in slick Bill Watson (17-38=55), the league s best goaltender in freshman Rick Kosti, and the league s best defenseman in Tom Kurvers, who won the Hobey Baker Memorial Award. After advancing from a league title ( overall), Minnesota Duluth made its strongest bid for a national title. Rarely has any team dominated the playoffs the way UMD did in routing Wisconsin 6-3 and 9-0, then, in a final league playoff series that had to be moved to Minnesota s Mariucci Arena because of a boat show at the Duluth Arena, the Bulldogs wiped out North Dakota 8-1 before cruising to a second-game 5-4 loss in the total-goal set. UMD eliminated Clarkson to reach the NCAA Frozen Four in Lake Placid, where the Bulldogs edged North Dakota 2-1 in overtime, the same score by which Bowling Green beat Michigan State. In the final, UMD gave up a 4-3 lead when Bowling Green scored late on an odd bounce off a seam in the boards, then UMD battled to exhaustion before falling 5-4 in the record-setting fourth overtime. In , Northern Michigan and Michigan Tech left the CCHA to join the WCHA, returning it to an eight-team league. They finished seventh and eighth, respectively, while UMD again soared to the league title at , with a school-best overall ledger. UMD s Watson repeated as scoring champ (37-43=80), and again the Bulldogs reached the Frozen Four, this time in Detroit. But it didn t get less painful, as RPI inflicted a 6-5 loss on UMD in a three-overtime semifinal. RPI beat Providence 2-1 for the title. Watson gave UMD its second straight Hobey Baker winner, while Kosti and defenseman Norm Maciver joined him as all-league picks. Denver, under coach Ralph Backstrom, performed a remarkable turnaround to win the regular season title at 25-9 ( overall). Dallas Gaume led the Pioneers and the conference in scoring (24-49=73), while Gary Emmons led Northern, and someone named Brett Hull blossomed for UMD. It seemed UMD was heading for a third straight league title when top-line center Matt Christensen was felled by a stroke at mid-season. While Christensen required a long recovery, his loss seemed to stun the Bulldogs, who faded from first to fourth behind Denver, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Minnesota and Denver advanced to the NCAA Frozen Four, but both lost in the semifinals at Providence, and Michigan State beat Harvard 6-5 for the title. In , it was North Dakota s turn to rewrite the record books as the Hrkac Circus set up its bigtop show in Grand Forks. Center Tony Hrkac won the league scoring race (36-50=86) and wound up with a whopping 116 points overall as the Fighting Sioux won the WCHA at 29-6 and breezed to the NCAA title with a 40-8 record under Gino Gasparini. Hrkac s winger, Bob Joyce, plus defenseman Ian Kidd and goalie Ed Belfour also starred for UND. Hrkac won MVP honors in the league and NCAA tournament, and added the Hobey Baker award to his banner year, as the Sioux beat Harvard 5-2 in the semis and topped Michigan State 5-3 in the final, at Detroit.

99 Doug Woog brought Minnesota back to the WCHA winner s circle in and in The Gophers had been second for three years in a row with records of , and , and finally won the MacNaughton Cup with a 28-7 mark (34-10 overall) in Brilliant goaltending by Robb Stauber (2.91 gaa,.906 sv%) carried the Gophers to finish 11 points ahead of Wisconsin, and after winning in the league s first try at best-ofthree playoffs, the Gophers reached the NCAA final four in Lake Placid. Stauber became the first goalie to win the Hobey Baker, but St. Lawrence s Peter Lappin scored three times to deal the Gophers a 3-2 loss in the semifinals. Lake Superior State beat St. Lawrence 4-3 in overtime in the final. The next year, Stauber improved his statistics to win league goaltending honors with a 2.33 goals-against and a.917 save percentage, as the Gophers won the WCHA chase by a league-record 14 points over runner-up Northern Michigan. Remarkably, Curtis Joseph, a brilliant freshman goalkeeper at Wisconsin, won first-team WCHA goalie honors over Stauber, because the vote from the entire Minnesota contingent failed to get sent in. But the Gophers, with Dave Snuggerud and Tom Chorske back from the 1988 U.S. Olympic team, ran up a league record, and headed to the NCAA tournament in St. Paul. After beating Maine 7-4 in the semifinals, Minnesota lost to Harvard, in a brilliantly played, high-speed 4-3 overtime classic, which many observers still call the best-played national championship game ever. Minnesota s back-to-back runaway league titles were total aberrations for the WCHA, which returned to normal in by going down to the final weekend before Wisconsin (19-8-1) edged Minnesota (17-9-2) for the MacNaughton Cup, as Minnesota was upset at Tech and the Badgers outlasted third-place UND. Denver s crafty Dave Shields won the league scoring race (21-29=50), but Wisconsin s balance was impressive, with John Byce, Chris Tancill and Gary Shuchuk among the top five scorers. That group was joined by shot-blocking defenseman Mark Osiecki and captain Steve Rohlik, and the league s best goaltender, Duane Derksen. None of the Badgers made first team all-wcha, but that corps of seniors led the team from midseason blahs to a whirlwind hot streak an tear that carried right through the league playoff and NCAA championships. The determined Badgers swept Maine in a first-round NCAA series to become the only WCHA entry among the four finalists at Detroit, where they resolutely took out Boston College 2-1, and brushed aside Colgate 7-3 for the title. That brought the league into the 1990s, where Northern Michigan kept WCHA tradition percolating in The Wildcats were bristling with firepower from scoring champion Scott Beattie (33-31=64), Jim Hiller, Tony Szabo, and Dallas Drake, while Brad Werenka led a defense that gave goaltender Billy Pye a lot of easy nights. The Wildcats scored 185 goals while going in the league, while Minnesota finished second at Minnesota s runner-up slot meant the Gophers had two firsts and five seconds over seven seasons. But when it came to national titles, Woog s Gophers were annually shut out, while Northern Michigan took advantage of its best chance. Coach Rick Comley s Wildcats won the WCHA playoff championship in the St. Paul Civic Center, and returned to that site for an amazing NCAA tournament, in which Northern beat Maine 5-3 in the semis, and won an incredible 8-7 triple-overtime marathon against Boston University in the NCAA championship game. Checker Darryl Plandowski scored his third goal of the game for the winner, and Beattie, who also had a hat trick in the game, finished a 46-game season with 48-41=89 as Northern Michigan wound up The season was highlighted by the re-emergence of Minnesota-Duluth atop the league, and four WCHA schools earned NCAA berths. Coach Mike Sertich s Bulldogs, led by a pair of All-Americans in center Derek Plante, the league scoring champion at 29-37=66, and talented defenseman Brett Hauer, fashioned a league record ( overall) and won their third MacNaughton Cup in 10 years, five points ahead of Wisconsin and Minnesota. Plante, the WCHA Player of the Year, finished with overall totals of 36-56=92. Plante, Hauer, North Dakota center Greg Johnson, Wisconsin defenseman Barry Richter, and Michigan Tech goalkeeper Jamie Ram earned All-America honors. Johnson, who set a WCHA record for career assists, made it for the third time. The biggest surprise in WCHA national tournament history may have been when UMD, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Northern Michigan all skated to first-day NCAA regional victories, but none reached the final four, where Maine beat Lake Superior State 5-4 for the title. As the league headed into the season, the balance in power shifted to Colorado College and an upstart Tigers team under first-year head coach Don Lucia. Playing the final season at the historic Broadmoor World Arena, the Tigers skated to their first WCHA Championship since 1957, and the school s first MacNaughton Cup, led by All-American defenseman Shawn Reid and All-WCHA center Jay McNeill. The Tigers, at ; overall, edged runner-up Minnesota by a point and Wisconsin by two points in one of the best races in league history. Individually, UMD s Chris Marinucci won the league scoring title with 27-26=53, the WCHA Player of the Year Award, the Hobey Baker, and was 1990 wcha and ncaa champion wisconsin celebrates with the frozen four trophy on ice at joe louis arena in detroit. 97

100 with their wcha championship, colorado college became the first team in league history to win three straight regular season crowns. named first-team All-American. The CC Tigers were derailed by All-American goaltender Jamie Ram in an outstanding first-round league playoff series, as last-place Michigan Tech beat first-place CC 3-2, lost the second game 3-0, then won 3-2 in overtime. In the WCHA Final Five, held for the first time at Milwaukee s Bradley Center, Minnesota defeated St. Cloud State 3-2 in overtime for the title, and Minnesota and Wisconsin advanced to the NCAA Tournament, but league champion Colorado College was inexplicably ignored by the NCAA committee for the tournament, which was held in St. Paul. Minnesota fell to Boston University 4-1, and Lake Superior State won the title by crushing BU 9-1 in the final. Lucia guided his Colorado College Tigers (22-9-1; overall) to their second straight WCHA Championship, something only six teams had ever done before, led by the likes of All-Americans Ryan Bach in goal, Kent Fearns on defense, and 33-goal scorer Jay McNeill up front. CC claimed the MacNaughton Cup by seven points over runners-up Wisconsin and Denver. The Badgers, picked sixth in the pre-season poll, were one of the surprise teams of the year, placing second during the regular season, winning the 1995 WCHA Final Five in Saint Paul, and joining CC, vastly-improved Denver, and Minnesota in the NCAA tournament. The only one to reach the Providence tournament was Minnesota, which lost 7-3 to Boston University in the semifinals, before BU beat Maine 6-2 in the final. Minnesota junior Brian Bonin won the league scoring title with 27-19=46 in 32 games, and added WCHA Player of the Year and first team West All-American honors, while Denver s firstyear coach George Gwozdecky was Coach of the Year. In , Colorado College became the first team in the long and storied history of the WCHA to win a third straight regular season championship, with a superb record that topped Minnesota by 12 points. This time the Tigers reached the Frozen Four, but after winning a double-overtime 4-3 semifinal thriller against a Vermont team led by small but shifty Martin St. Louis, the Tigers lost 3-2 in overtime to Michigan in the final. Bonin, the repeat league scoring leader (25-39=64) won the Hobey Baker Memorial Award. The Tigers string was snapped in when the WCHA produced another of its best races. Five teams finished within five points of each other, with North Dakota and Minnesota eventually sharing the MacNaughton Cup at as regular season co-champions. Minnesota s Mike Crowley (5-37=42) and Brian Swanson of CC (15-27=42) shared the league scoring title, making Crowley the second defenseman ever to attain that status. North Dakota defeated Cornell, 6-2, at the West Regional, but saved its best for last in at the Frozen Four at Bradley Center in Milwaukee. The Sioux upended CC 6-2 in one semifinal while Boston University knocked off tourney favorite Michigan 3-2 in the other. The youthful North Dakota team, rejuvenated under coach Dean Blais, beat BU 6-4 to bring home the NCAA crown. Sioux winger Matt Henderson went from super-checker to super-scorer with in the two games and won the tourney s MVP award. Basically a sophomore team, UND went As juniors, that North Dakota group won the WCHA again in , at , but lost 4-3 to eventual champion Michigan in the NCAA West Regional, to finish , leaving no WCHA entry at the Frozen Four in Boston, where Michigan beat Boston College 3-2 in overtime for the title. So the big year for the Fighting Sioux would be , and it certainly was. The senior-dominated Sioux were ranked No. 1 by every poll in the land, almost from start to finish, while romping to another WCHA title at , 10 points ahead of CC, and into the NCAAs. However, the Sioux were derailed by eventual champion Boston College in the quarterfinals, ending up Those seven seniors Jason Blake, Jay Panzer, Brad Williamson, David Hoogsteen, Jeff Ulmer, Jesse Bull and Adam Calder scored a combined 107 goals in that glorious, but ending-too-soon season. Their loss in the regional game meant the WCHA would fail to send a team to the national final four for only the third time in history, but the second year in a row. Maine beat New Hampshire 3-2 in overtime for the NCAA championship, played at Anaheim, Calif. The millenium was about to change, and so did the Sioux. Coach Dean Blais replaced his seven skilled seniors with seven unproven freshmen for the season, and although the youthful UND outfit chased, but couldn t catch, WCHA champ Wisconsin (23-5), which was led by Steve Reinprecht and freshman flash Dany Heatley, their time came suddenly in the playoffs. North Dakota hit its stride and ran through the WCHA playoffs, and continued their surge in the NCAAs. At the 2000 NCAA Frozen Four in Providence, Karl Goehring returned to the nets from an injury and was brilliant in a 2-0 shutout over defending national champion Maine, then the Sioux rallied from a 2-1 deficit to stifle Boston College 4-2 for the championship. North Dakota had seen to it that the proud WCHA would end the 20th century in style, by winning the league its 31st national championship in the league s first 50 years. Since teams later associated with the WCHA had also won three of the first four national tournaments before even the Midwest League began, teams associated with the WCHA actually won 34 of the first 54 national tournaments. Not a bad century. Dawn of a new century The new century for the Western Collegiate Hockey Association started off with a rebuilding year for North Dakota in , as coach Dean Blais replaced seven highly-skilled seniors with seven unproven freshmen. The youthful UND outfit chased, but couldn t catch, WCHA champ Wisconsin (23-5), which was led by Steve Reinprecht and freshman flash Dany Heatley. But in the playoffs, North Dakota ran through the WCHA, and continued the surge in the NCAAs to reach the 2000 Frozen Four in Providence. Karl Goehring returned to the nets from an injury and was brilliant in a 2-0 shutout over defending national champion and top-seeded Maine in the semifinals, 98

101 and the Sioux rallied from a 2-1 deficit to stifle BC 4-2 in the 2000 championship game. In , North Dakota responded again to the Blais touch and won the WCHA title for an impressive string of four league titles and one runner-up finish in five years. The Fighting Sioux were led by the explosive top line of Jeff Panzer (26-55=81), Bryan Lundbohm (32-37=69) and Ryan Bayda (25-34=59), who were in league scoring, the goaltending tandem of Goehring (10-3-4) and Andy Kollar (8-1-2), plus swift sophomore defenseman Travis Roche. St. Cloud State finished second, its highest placement ever, and won the 2001 WCHA playoff title. The Fighting Sioux reached the Frozen Four by beating Colorado College 4-1, and once at Albany, N.Y., they knocked off Michigan State 2-0 on Goehring s semifinal shutout. Boston College, however, beat UND 3-2 in the title game. North Dakota passed the baton to Minnesota, and the Golden Gophers took over under coach Don Lucia, who took three years since leaving Colorado College to put the sputtering Gophers in order. Minnesota hadn t won an NCAA title in 23 years, since Herb Brooks won his third title in six years in 1979, and finishing third behind Denver (21-6-1) and St. Cloud State (19-7-2) at was not the perfect formula for the NCAA title. Nor was losing to Denver in the league playoff final. But Lucia had the Gophers primed for the 2002 Frozen Four, held at Saint Paul s Xcel Energy Center the same site where Denver had just beaten Minnesota for the WCHA Final Five crown. Denver was overall, but the West Regional half of the NCAA s last 12-team tournament field was at Ann Arbor, Mich., where Denver got a bye as top seed but Michigan, with the benefit of its intimidating home crowd, beat St. Cloud State, then beat Denver 5-3 to eliminate the top two WCHA entries. Playing down to two Frozen Four entries, the other bracket saw Colorado College eliminate Michigan State 2-0, then Minnesota, which had a bye, beat Colorado College 4-2. Both Minnesota and Michigan reached the Frozen Four, but Minnesota avoided having to play Michigan in Ann Arbor, and beat the Wolverines 3-2 in the NCAA semifinals in Saint Paul. That created a memorable final. Minnesota tied Maine 3-3 on Matt Koalska s goal with :53 seconds left in regulation, and the Gophers beat the Black Bears 4-3 on Grant Potulny s goal at 16:58 of overtime. Minnesota goaltender Adam Hauser and forwards John Pohl and Potulny made the NCAA All-Tournament team. Mark Hartigan of St. Cloud State was league scoring champ (24-25=49) and player of the year, and was joined on the first-team All-WCHA by Pohl and Mark Cullen of CC up front, defensemen Jordan Leopold of Minnesota and Andy Reierson of UMD, and Denver goaltender Wade Dubielewicz (1.80 gaa). Leopold was also Hobey Baker Memorial Award winner. With Pohl, Leopold, and Minnesota record-setting goalie Hauser graduating, the Gophers figured to drop back in the pack in , and Colorado College won the WCHA title by six points, with a record, over Minnesota and Minnesota State-Mankato. The CC Tigers also dominated the league s awards, as Peter Sejna (21-32=53) won the scoring title, player of the year, and Hobey Baker Memorial Award, while teammate Curtis McElhinney was the top goalie with a 2.19 goals-against mark, and Tom Preissing was generally considered the WCHA s top defenseman. They made up half of the All-WCHA First Team, with Denver s Aaron MacKenzie filling the other defense slot, and Minnesota State s 1-2 tandem of Shane Joseph and Grant Stevenson the other forwards. Strangely enough, history repeated itself at NCAA tournament time in 2003, when WCHA champion and top Western seed Colorado College had to go to Ann Arbor for the regional. The NCAA had finally expanded from 12 to 16 teams for that tournament, which meant four regionals instead of two, but Michigan, the fourth seed, eliminated Maine 2-1 while top-seed CC beat Wayne State 4-2. Michigan, again a lower seed bolstered by its vocal crowd, beat CC 5-3 to again reach the Frozen Four. In the new format, Minnesota was host of its own regional, and the Gophers, after beating Colorado College for the WCHA playoff title, romped 9-2 over outmanned Mercyhurst, and caught a break when Ferris State upset North Dakota 5-2. The Gophers whipped Ferris State 7-4 to win the West Regional and return to the Frozen Four, this time in Buffalo. The déjà vu continued as once again Minnesota faced Michigan in the NCAA semifinals, and once again the Gophers prevailed, 3-2 in overtime. Minnesota buried New Hampshire 5-1 in the championship game, meaning that after a 23-year national championship drought, Lucia had brought two titles in a row back to Mariucci Arena. Shut out of the All-WCHA First Team, Minnesota goaltender Travis Weber, defensemen Paul Martin and Matt DeMarchi, and forward Thomas Vanek all made the NCAA tournament team, with Vanek voted most outstanding player. A year later, North Dakota won the WCHA title by three points over upstart Minnesota Duluth, while Wisconsin was third, eight points off the pace. Denver and Minnesota tied for fourth, 12 points in arrears. But once again, the playoffs provided the perfect setting for a late-season surge, and this time Denver stormed to the front of the class. Denver spent much of the season trying to recover from some injuries and disheartening setbacks. Coach George Gwozdecky kept patching holes and stressing how the setbacks built character. In the WCHA playoffs, Denver beat Colorado College 3-2 in the first game, lost the second 4-3, then collapsed in a 6-1 third-game loss. Ironically, the same computerized system that cost Denver a chance to make the NCAA tournament in 2006 made the Pioneers a borderline entry among the select 16 in Losing to CC meant Denver didn t risk another loss in the Final Five, insulating that computer ranking for a week off, while several key injuries healed. Colorado College lost to upstart Alaska Anchorage at the 2004 WCHA Final Five, which cost the Tigers a chance to be the host entry for the West NCAA Regional at Colorado Springs. The Seawolves lost to North Dakota in one semifinal, while Minnesota beat injury-stricken UMD 7-4 in the other, then Minnesota won the final in a 5-4 thriller over North Dakota. Denver, rested and ready, was invited to be the fifth WCHA team to the 16-team tournament field, as host entry at Colorado Springs. A longshot in the West Regional, and having yielded 10 goals in their last two games, Denver goaltender Adam Berkhoel suddenly turned red hot. Denver defeated Miami (Ohio) 3-2 in the first regional game and Berkhoel s scintillating 33-save performance gave the Pioneers a 1-0 shutout victory over North Dakota a team that had outscored Denver 21-6 in winning three and tying one during the season. At Boston s FleetCenter, Denver faced WCHA runner-up and No. 3 ranked Minnesota Duluth in the 2004 national semifinals. Confident after sweeping the Pioneers 1-0 and 6-3 in Denver, the Bulldogs took a 3-1 lead after two periods, as WCHA scoring champ and Hobey Baker Memorial Award winner Junior Lessard scored twice. Those would prove to be the last goals Berkhoel would give up. He shut down the Dogs, and Gabe Gauthier and Ryan Caldwell scored :34 seconds apart early in the third to gain a 3-3 tie. Lukas Dora scored at 8:25 to boost DU to a 4-3 lead and Connor James set up Greg Keith for an empty-netter to clinch a 5-3 victory. In the NCAA final, the Cinderella Pioneers were underdogs to No. 2-ranked Maine, but Gauthier scored on a first-period power-play, and Berkhoel was sensational, stopping all 24 shots and withstanding a game-ending 6-on-3 Maine power-play, to win another 1-0 triumph and secure the tourney s outstanding player award. Gauthier s goal came off a feed from James, the speedy winger who had missed the end of the regular season with a broken leg, but came back to join teammates Caldwell and Berkhoel, and UMD s Lessard on the NCAA All-Tournament team. After Denver had given up 10 goals in its last two WCHA playoff games against CC, Berkhoel yielded just five goals in the four NCAA games as Denver won its sixth NCAA title, but the first since Murray Armstrong s Pioneers did it in Denver was only in WCHA play to tie for fourth place behind North Dakota s Overall, North Dakota finished and UMD , but a 13-0 record against non-wcha teams gave Denver a solid overall record of Hobey Baker winner and WCHA Player of the Year Junior Lessard of UMD wound up with 32-31=63 as the league s top scorer for He was joined by North Dakota forwards Brandon Bochenski (27-33=60) and Zach Parise (23-32=55) on the All-WCHA First Team, along with Minnesota s Keith Ballard and UMD s Beau Geisler on defense, and Wisconsin goaltender Bernd Bruckler, who had a record, 2.09 goalsagainst, and a.924 save percentage. In league games, Lessard 99

102 (19-20=39) and Bochenski (16-23=39) shared the scoring title. A tasty irony in Denver s 2004 title run was that Minnesota had been the unanimous preseason pick as WCHA and NCAA champ, returning almost its entire team from the 2003 championship ride, which made the Gophers the first team to win two NCAA titles in succession since Boston University in 1971 and Who could have guessed that the Pioneers would come back to make it two successive two-title runs for the WCHA? Denver tied Colorado College for the league title, then won the league playoff, and added the NCAA title but not without plenty of anxious moments. North Dakota, making another of its late rushes, had opened the 2005 WCHA Final Five by knocking off Wisconsin 3-2 in the play-in game, then lost a tense 2-1 game to Denver when Gabe Gauthier scored his second goal of the game in overtime in the semifinals, while Colorado College spanked Minnesota 3-0. North Dakota beat Minnesota 4-2 in the third-place game, and Denver outdueled CC 1-0 for the playoff title behind freshman Peter Mannino s goaltending. At the 2005 NCAA Frozen Four in Columbus, Ohio, the national championship became the WCHA Frozen Four with all four finalists from the Western Collegiate Hockey Association. Denver beat Colorado College and North Dakota toppled Minnesota in a semifinal round that greatly resembled the renewal of two of the WCHA s top rivalries, then Denver beat the Fighting Sioux for the title. The luck of the draw put Denver right back up against league-champion Colorado College, where the question was whether Mannino and the Pioneers could stop the league s 1-2 scoring punch of Marty Sertich and Brett Sterling twice in a row. They could, winning 6-2 with every goal on power-plays. If Denver was the best team, North Dakota was the hottest, and the Fighting Sioux outshot Denver in the final. But Mannino stopped 44 of the 45, and Denver rose from a 1-1 first-period tie to claim a 4-1 victory. WCHA Freshman of the Year Paul Stastny scored the tie-breaking goal in the second period, added the clinching goal midway through the third period, then made a great pass to Gauthier for an open-net goal in the last minute. Outshot or not, the Pioneers went home with the big prize. Maybe Denver s second straight two-year run in the NCAA in 2004 and 2005 was inspiration to the Wisconsin Badgers, who won it all again in 2006 at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee and make it a hat trick of another sort for the WCHA. Even the most zealous WCHA boosters couldn t imagine matching that accomplishment on the national stage in But Wisconsin did its part, emerging to beat Boston College 2-1 for the fifth consecutive NCAA championship for WCHA teams, and extending a remarkable streak of domination. That five-year streak started with Minnesota s two straight NCAA championships, in 2002 and 2003, and was followed by two more by University of Denver in 2004 and The Badgers run to homestate glory in 2006 was No. 5, and dominant as that seems, it could be a working streak of six years for the WCHA, but North Dakota dropped a 3-2 overtime game to Boston College in the 2001 NCAA final. The Fighting Sioux can be excused for that misstep, however, because they had won the NCAA titles in The five straight titles, and six of the seven since 2000, boost WCHA-affiliated teams to 39 national championships in the 59 NCAA tournaments conducted since Eastern colleges have won 13, with eight of them by teams that broke off to form the Hockey East Association, while Central Collegiate Hockey Association teams had won seven. Of those 20 non-wcha national titles, seven came in the 1990s, when North Dakota s 1997 championship was the only one claimed by a WCHA school in the eight-tournament span from 1992 through The WCHA dominated the national rankings throughout the season, with Wisconsin hogging the No. 1 spot most of the first half, and seeming to run away with the league title until star goaltender Brian Elliott was injured. As if operating by tagteam, when the Badgers struggled, Minnesota came on with a rush to claim the No. 1 national ranking, and the Golden Gophers rode the momentum through the whole second half to capture the season title. At the same time, Wisconsin recovered its touch, Denver looked poised for a run at its third straight title, and North Dakota came out of nowhere with a freshman-led outfit that proved it was the hottest team in the country by winning the WCHA league playoff title. The three biggest trophies available were won by three different WCHA teams Wisconsin winning the NCAA trophy, Minnesota the MacNaughton Cup as league champ, and North Dakota the Broadmoor Trophy for winning the WCHA playoffs. No, the WCHA didn t repeat by supplying all four Frozen Four entries the NCAA tournament committee s somewhat curious regional pairings prevented any chance of that but when the firing stopped at Milwaukee s Bradley Center, the rejuvenated Elliott had led Wisconsin to a 2-1 triumph over Boston College in a scintillating title match that gave the WCHA its fifth consecutive national championship. Wisconsin left no question that they deserved their official return to the No. 1 spot and the NCAA trophy, but the Badgers were the first to say they were pushed to their pinnacle by the strength of league rivals. Denver was prevented from any chance at becoming the only team to ever win three straight NCAA titles and may stir further discussion of selection criteria when the Pioneers tied with Wisconsin for second place in league standings at , behind Minnesota s mark, but were bumped out of the 16-team field by the mandatory inclusion of at-large entries. Four worthy WCHA teams made the 16-team field, but they were grouped into two of the four regionals. With Wisconsin and Colorado College going to Green Bay with Cornell and Bemidji State for the Midwest Regional, while North Dakota played host to Minnesota, along with Michigan and Holy Cross, in the West Regional, the most the WCHA could hope for was two Frozen Four entries. Presto! Wisconsin won the Midwest and surging North Dakota won the West, joining Boston College and Maine in Milwaukee for the Frozen Four. The turning point for Wisconsin s ultimate NCAA triumph was actually forged out of the intrigue of the WCHA Final Five playoffs at the Xcel Center in Saint Paul. Just reaching the Final Five proved the WCHA s strength. Ninth-place Minnesota Duluth sent little-used No. 3 goaltender Nate Ziegelmann, a sophomore transfer, into the nets at second-seeded Denver, and he not only backstopped a 3-2 first-game upset, but, after the Pioneers rebounded for a 3-2 victory in the second game, Ziegelmann anchored a 5-2 victory in the deciding game, and his first two collegiate victories sent the Bulldogs to the Final Five. The same weekend, sixth-place St. Cloud State went to Colorado Springs and knocked out Colorado College behind goaltender Bobby Goepfert. The Huskies kept rolling at the Final Five by whipping Minnesota Duluth 5-1 in the play-in game, then ambushing Minnesota 8-7 in a wild overtime semifinal, before a record 19,353 fans. Minnesota trailed 5-2 and 6-3 before Ryan Potulny took over, scoring four goals, including his 38th of the season with :15 seconds left for a 7-7 tie only to see Matt Hartman s goal at 9:14 of overtime wrest the victory for St. Cloud State. In the other semifinal, North Dakota, which had ridden a late-season hot streak to a tie for fourth place in the WCHA, rallied from a 2-0 deficit to stun Wisconsin 4-3 in the first semifinal. North Dakota s 5-3 playoff final victory over St. Cloud State secured the Sioux a spot in the 2006 NCAA tournament, while the league s two highest-ranked teams met in a third-place game that had more significance than either team might have realized. Minnesota and Wisconsin both knew they were cinch selections for the NCAA tournament, so the outcome of their third-place game seemed meaningless. Or was it? Coach Mike Eaves, who lived through the most heated days of the Gopher-Badger rivalry as a player, affirmed there is no way he could ever see any game against Minnesota as ordinary, and he also stressed the need for the Badgers to come off their loss to North Dakota and regain their playing rhythm. Playing with much more enthusiasm, Wisconsin ripped Minnesota 4-0, which sent the Badgers soaring into the NCAA Regional, while Minnesota seemed to lose its enormous edge in momentum with the two losses in the Final Five. At Grand Forks, the Gophers were unceremoniously upset by at-large entry Holy Cross, leaving the Gophers with an outstanding final record, ended by three straight losses. North Dakota beat Michigan and Holy Cross to gain the Frozen Four. Once at Milwaukee, a Wisconsin-North Dakota rematch in the final seemed likely, but the youthful Fighting Sioux were caught off-guard by Boston College s quick-strike ability, which was ignited by a 3-0 BC lead in the first period, as the mercurial Chris 100

103 Collins got two goals of an eventual hat trick. The Fighting Sioux, led by freshmen T.J. Oshie, Jonathan Toews and Brian Lee, staged a memorable comeback, from deficits of 3-0 and 6-3, but couldn t quite pull it off, and fell 6-5. Oshie was held off the scoresheet but finished with 24 goals, including a nation-leading seven game-winners, Toews scored his 22nd goal of the season during the rally, and Lee, a defenseman, assisted on the fourth Sioux goal and scored himself with :13 seconds remaining to give the Sioux one last gasp of hope, before they simply ran out of minutes and their season ended Wisconsin, meanwhile, got two goals from Robbie Earl, and star goaltender Brian Elliott proved he was in top form in a 32-save performance for a 5-2 semifinal victory over Maine, and Eaves stress of team defense continued to prevail in the final. The Badgers outshot Boston College 39-22, but they had to rally from a 1-0 deficit for Earl s 24th goal early in the second period to gain a 1-1 tie, and senior defenseman Tom Gilbert strode in from the point to score the power-play game-winner midway through the third. An explanation of how hot Elliott was through the stretch is that he won eight of his nine starts since regaining his touch, with a.967 save percentage and an 0.81 goals-against average in those nine games. The WCHA challenge in was to try to duplicate the seemingly impossible scene from the 2005 NCAA tournament. Minnesota captured the WCHA regular season championship and MacNaughton Cup by four points over runner-up St. Cloud State and the Golden Gophers also won the Broadmoor Trophy at the 2007 Red Baron WCHA Final Five. North Dakota made it s third consecutive appearance in the NCAA Men s Frozen Four, this time in St. Louis, Mo., but the Fighting Sioux s bid for a sixth straight national title on behalf of the WCHA fell short. The league also had seven of it s 10 member teams ranked among the nation s top clubs in the final national polls, drew a record 1,606,686 fans to home games including a record 88,900 to the annual Final Five at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, UND s Ryan Duncan became the WCHA s 13th Hobey Baker Memorial Award winner, league-member teams posted a (.675) non-conference record, five conference players earned All-American honors, and St. Cloud State s Ryan Lasch was named the first National Rookie of the Year. In , Colorado College claimed the program s sixth WCHA championship since 1993 by four points over runner-up North Dakota. The Tigers were led by WCHA Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year Richard Bachman in goal, WCHA Defensive Player of the Year Jack Hillen on the blueline, and all-league performer Chad Rau up front. At the 2008 Red Baron WCHA Final Five in Saint Paul, the Denver Pioneers took home the Broadmoor Trophy before 86,855 at Xcel Energy Center for the program s third playoff crown in seven years. For the fourth consecutive season, North Dakota earned a berth in the NCAA Men s Frozen Four, which was played April at Pepsi Center in Denver and hosted by the University of Denver. The Sioux fell 6-1 to eventual champion Boston College in the first national semifinal as Dave Hakstol became only the third coach ever to lead his first four teams to berths in the Frozen Four. The WCHA also placed a Div. 1 conference record six teams into the NCAA tournament in 2008, with UND the No. 2 seed for the Midwest Regional in Madison, MacNaughton Cup-winner CC the No. 2 seed for the West Regional in Colorado Springs, playoff champ Denver the No. 2 seed in the Midwest Regional, St. Cloud State the No. 2 seed for the East Regional in Albany, N.Y., Minnesota the No. 3 seed for the Northeast Regional in Worcester, Mass., and Wisconsin the No. 3 seed for the Midwest Regional. At the conclusion of the season, the WCHA s non-conference record stood at (.667). And in the final Div. 1 college hockey polls, the WCHA had seven teams ranked among the nation s top 17 with two others earning votes. UND was No. 3, DU was No. 4, CC was No. 6, SCSU was No. 8, UM was No. 10, MSU was No. 14, and UW was No. 17. Both UMD and MTU also received votes. In home attendance, the WCHA again led the nation with 1,508,499 fans, topping 1.5 millon for a record sixth straight season and 1,000,000 for a record 15th straight season.

Named to the West All-American Second Team from the WCHA were DU defenseman Chris Butler, SCSU forward Ryan Lasch, and CC forward Chad Rau. CC goaltender Richard Bachman became the second straight WCHA player to earn the Hockey Commissioners Association National Rookie of the Year, joining inaugural ( ) winner Andreas Nodl from SCSU. Three WCHA players were among the Top 10 Finalists for the 2008 Hobey Baker Memorial Award in UND goaltender Jean-Philippe Lamoureux, SCSU forward Ryan Lasch and UND forward T.J. Oshie, and two WCHA coaches MSU s Troy Jutting and UND s Dave Hakstol were finalists for the AHCA Men s Div. 1 Coach of the Year. In , and for only the fourth time in it s storied 57-year history, the WCHA was without a team in an NCAA Men s Frozen Four. The league s three national tourney qualifiers Denver, Minnesota Duluth and North Dakota all fell short in NCAA regional play over the March weekend. The three previous seasons that the WCHA was not represented in a Frozen Four were in Milwaukee, in Boston and in in Anaheim. in 2005, the wcha became the first div. 1 conference in history to have all four teams at the ncaa frozen four.

In addition to creating new rivalries, adding new fans and reaching into new markets, the conference staged its long-running WCHA Final Five playoff championship in a new city and new venue Grand Rapids, Michigan and Van Andel Arena. The season also brought an announcement that longtime league commissioner Bruce McLeod would be retiring on June 30 after 20 years at the helm and ultimately that Bill Robertson, a proven leader in the sports world, a champion of collegiate hockey and a strong partner of the WCHA for many years, was chosen to lead the conference into a new era in a well-attended press conference held at Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul on April 8. Along the way, there were a number of significant developments and highlights. An all-new WCHA.com and WCHA.com/ mobile led the way for the new-look league with a pre-season debut full of new features. With the start of the season, the league announced a new partnership with America ONE Sports that provided a first-ever conference-wide broadband initiative, with every member team home game videostreamed live and on demand. The league continued its long-running weekly radio show, This Week in the WCHA, and added a new weekly package of video highlights at WCHA.com beginning at the first of the year that ran each Wednesday. The league staged a WCHA Final Five promotional event in downtown Grand Rapids in October, which featured tournament ticket package discounts, merchandise give-aways, face-painting, games and public ice skating sessions at Van Andel Arena during the city of Grand Rapids world-renowned ArtPrize weekend. Throughout the season, the Road to Van Andel Arena featured great room rates and discount ticket packages in conjunction with Northwest Corner Hotels, and then at the WCHA Final Five itself, held March 21-22, there were three-days of fun-filled activities that included a WCHA Kick-Off Event and WCHA The Voice Contest on Thursday at the Deltaplex, The Purple Community Game to Fight Cancer on Friday, a USA Hockey Youth Coaching Workshop and Sports Madness Pre-Championship Game Tailgate Party on Saturday at the B.O.B. in downtown Grand Rapids and the well-known Dance Mania contest held throughout all three tournament games.

Heading into that final weekend, five teams were alive for the last four playoff slots, and six teams were alive for the last two home ice slots. Minnesota State and Ferris State would be seeded #1 and #2 in either order. If MSU swept Michigan Tech then Minnesota State would be the #1 seed. Alaska and MTU had clinched playoff spots, and each controlled its own destiny for home ice. Alaska could clinch home ice with a win in either game against Alaska Anchorage while Michigan Tech would clinch with three or more points against Minnesota State. Alaska Anchorage and Bowling Green could each clinch playoff spots by earning two or more points the final weekend. Lake Superior State could clinch a playoff spot with three or more points. Bemidji State and Northern Michigan could each earn playoff spots with weekend sweeps. NMU could not earn home ice but did control its own destiny for a playoff berth. Ultimately, Ferris State locked up the No. 1 playoff seed, Minnesota State was No. 2, Alaska was No. 3 and Bowling Green was No. 4 as the four first-round hosts. The Bulldogs won two straight over No. 8 Bemidji State, the Mavericks downed No. 7 Northern Michigan in three games, the Nanooks were upended in three by No. 6 Alaska Anchorage and the Falcons skated past No. 5 Michigan Tech in two. At the WCHA Final Five, Minnesota State won 4-0 over Bowling Green in the first semifinal on March 21 while Ferris State upended Alaska Anchorage, 5-4 in overtime.

131 the wcha championship Winning the Western Collegiate Hockey Association men s regular season championship, as has proven time and time again over the past 63 seasons, has traditionally been one of the toughest titles to win in collegiate sports. Since the Association s founding in , the number of games that have made up the league s regular season championship race have fluctuated as well as the methods of determing the champions. The number of league games have ranged from a low of 12 in the founding season of to a high of 35 games that ran from through Since , the conference schedule has consisted of 28 games per team. Methods of determining the annual regular season team champion have included points accumulated ( , and 1980-present) and winning percentage ( , ). The conference regular season title includes the awarding of the fabled MacNaughton Cup to the team champion. historic MacNaughton Cup awarded to wcha regular season champion macnaughton cup Dating back 100 years to its original purchase in 1913, handcrafted of pure silver, standing three-feet high, and weighing more than 40 pounds, the MacNaughton Cup is the shining symbol of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association and its distinguished tradition as a premier collegiate hockey conference since the league s founding in The MacNaughton Cup is awarded annually to the winner of the league s regular season championship, and as a traveling trophy, is on display each season at the home of the reigning champion. Beginning in , the WCHA also began awarding a replica MacNaughton Cup to the regular season champion each season. The MacNaughton Cup has traveled a long and winding road since its initial purchase in 1913 by the Calumet (Michigan) and Hecla Mining Company, but officially settled into a home with the original WCHA (MCHL/WIHL) in In 1913, James MacNaughton, then president of Calumet and Hecla, Inc., and an avid supporter of amateur ice hockey, authorized the president of the American Amateur Hockey Association to purchase a cup (he said the price didn t matter) and present it to the Association s championship team at the end of the season. The first winner was a team from the Cleveland (Ohio) Athletic Club. The MacNaughton Cup remained with the AAHA until it ceased operations in From 1921 to 1950, the Cup was fought for by semipro and intermediate hockey aggregations in Michigan s Copper Country. In 1951, the cup was donated by Calumet and Hecla, Inc., through the generosity of Mr. & Mrs. Endicott R. Lovell, to the newly-founded Midwest Collegiate Hockey League, forerunner of the WCHA. Lovell, president of the company at that time and the son-in-law of James MacNaughton, was also a ardent supporter of amateur hockey. The MCHL chose in the original spirit to award the trophy to its regular season champion. The MacNaughton Cup remained a part of the MCHL/WIHL until the league disbanded in March of 1958 for one year. In , the seven original teams resumed formal competition under the name Western Collegiate Hockey Association. The MacNaughton Cup has gone to the league s regular season winner on all but seven occasions since From , the MacNaughton Cup was presented to the league playoff winner. In , and , the trophy left with Cup custodian Michigan Tech and was presented to the champion of the CCHA for those three seasons. 129

133 wcha playoff championship The Western Collegiate Hockey Association s annual post-season playoff tournament, which was introduced for the season, has included numerous formats over the past 50-plus years. Formats have included: one round of four teams ( ); one round and a finals ( ); one round and a championship game ( ); two rounds with eight teams ( ); eight teams at East and West regionals ( ); eight teams in two rounds of two-game total goals series ( , ); eight teams in two rounds of two-game total goals series plus a two-team championship ( , ); an opening round, best-of-three series at campus sites followed by a four-team playoff championship at one venue ( ); and a first round, bestof-three series at campus sites followed by a WCHA Final Five at one venue (1993-present). Since 1982, the WCHA has crowned one annual playoff champion and presented either the Broadmoor Trophy ( to present) or the MacNaughton Cup ( , and ). The 2014 WCHA playoff championship will be held over a two-week period following the conclusion of the regular season. The first round of playoffs includes the top eight regular season finishers in a best-of-three format on the home ice of the top four finishers. The top four teams in the final regular season standings (ties are broken by WCHA tie-breaking procedures) earn the right to host a first round playoff series. Following the first round, the four winning teams are re-seeded according to their regular season finish and advance to the WCHA Final Five. broadmoor trophy awarded to wcha playoff champion The second of the WCHA s two major championship trophies for men s competition is the Broadmoor Trophy, which has been awarded annually since 1985 to the winner of the conference s post-season championship tournament. The history of the Broadmoor Trophy dates to 1981, when it was first presented to the conference by the world-renowned Broadmoor Hotel and Resort Complex of Colorado Springs, Colo. For the first three seasons of its partnership with the WCHA ( ) and due to the departure of league member and MacNaughton Cup (regular season championship trophy) custodian Michigan Tech to the CCHA the Broadmoor Trophy was presented to the Association s regular season champion. But when the Huskies returned to the WCHA in 1984 with the MacNaughton Cup in hand the Broadmoor Trophy became, and has remained since, the symbol of the league s post-season tournament championship. In March of 2010, in conjunction with the annual WCHA Final Five, the Association unveiled a striking new Broadmoor Trophy. The new bronze cast trophy, created by Blue Ribbon Trophies & Awards of Colorado Springs, Colo., is a recreation of the famous Broadmoor Hotel. Long an ardent supporter of college hockey, the Broadmoor Hotel included the former Broadmoor World Arena, which hosted the NCAA Ice Hockey Championship a total of 11 times between 1948 and There are a total of three Broadmoor trophies. The largest has been on display in recent years at Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul in conjunction with the WCHA Final Five, one is a traveling trophy, and one is awarded to the winning team each year as a permanent addition to their display case. broadmoor trophy 131

171 wcha distinguished service award the otto breitenbach wcha distinguished service award The Western Collegiate Hockey Association s Distinguished Service Award was renamed the Otto Breitenbach WCHA Distinguished Service Award in honor of the successful commissioner and in conjunction with the 50th anniversary season of The Otto Breitenbach WCHA Distinguished Service Award is presented to individuals who have rendered extraordinary service to the Association. There are no restrictions concerning persons eligible for the award or the number of awards that may be presented, however, a person shall not be eligible for nomination until after completion of their service to the Association. The award has been presented to coaches, administrators, officials, and members of the media. Otto Breitenbach One of the true giants in the annals of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association longtime Commissioner and distinguished collegiate and high school athletic administrator Otto Breitenbach passed away in January of 2007 at the age of 82. There are really no adequate words to describe what Otto meant to all of us in the WCHA as well as throughout athletic circles across the country, said Bruce McLeod, who succeeded Breitenbach as WCHA Commissioner in Otto touched so many lives in so many positive ways over the years and so many of us owe so very much to him. Our lasting memories of his qualities as a father, grandfather, coach, leader and mentor are a fitting tribute to a truly great man. Three words always come to mind when I think of Otto quality, class, gentleman. He has left a noteworthy legacy through everyone that ever had a chance to know him and we will all miss him dearly. Breitenbach served as WCHA Commissioner for 10 seasons from through Under his leadership, the league continually improved upon its high caliber of competition and integrity as well as its stature as one of the nation s premier collegiate conferences. WCHA teams won three NCAA championships during his tenure (North Dakota in 1987, Wisconsin in 1990, Northern Michigan in 1991), the league produced five Hobey Baker Memorial Award winners, nearly 70 players earned All- American honors, and the conference unveiled new awards for a Student-Athlete of the Year and a Defensive Player of the Year. Ever a proponent of growing the game,breitenbach oversaw the return of Michigan Tech and the addition of Northern Michigan to the league family in 1984, developed a new post-season playoff format and an annual playoff championship held at one site (now the WCHA Final Five) for the season, forged a unique inter-locking scheduling agreement with the new Hockey East Association, added St. Cloud State as the league s ninth member in 1990 and then Alaska Anchorage as the 10th member in In addition, Breitenbach fashioned numerous playing tours of the WCHA by international teams, and he was a key figure in the expansion of the NCAA tournament to a 12-team, two-regional tournament format in During his tenure, league revenues also grew significantly, there was a marked increase in national exposure, and attendance soared to more than 1,000,000 home fans per season. His tenure as the WCHA s guiding force culminated when the league named it s most prestigious honor the WCHA Distinguished Service Award in his honor. In 1993, Breitenbach was honored for his longtime devotion to the sport of college hockey with the prestigious Jim Fullerton Award, presented by the AHCA. Born June 27, 1924 and a native of Madison, Wis., Breitenbach enjoyed a distinguished career in athletics as a player, coach and administrator. He was a three-sport standout at Madison s Edgewood HS and went on to a play college football as a halfback for the University of Wisconsin. In 1942, World War II interrupted his schooling while he served as an instructor-pilot for the United States Army Air Force until Breitenbach received his Bachelor s degree in Physical Education from Wisconsin in 1948 and his Master s in 1955, then moved on to a successful tenure as football and track coach and athletic director at Madison LaFollette HS. He then joined the UW Athletic Department in 1973 and eventually served that institution for 15 distinguished years as associate athletic director in charge of sports that included football, hockey and basketball. In 1987 (until 1997), Breitenbach took on yet another career challenge as Executive Director of the Badger State Games, an Olympic-style sports festival for amateur athletes in Wisconsin. Breitenbach was inducted into the Wisconsin Football Coaches Hall of Fame and the Madison Sports Hall of Fame in 1980 and then into the University of Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame in A proud and devoted husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, Otto was an inspiration to all who knew him, dedicated to promoting and growing amateur athletics at all levels. commissioner otto breitenbach presents the macnaughton cup to wisconsin captains mark osiecki, steve rohlik, gary shuchuk and john byce in

183 hobey baker memorial award 1973, the United States Hockey Hall of Fame in Eveleth (MN) included Hobey Baker as a charter member. No finer example of the true sportsman may have ever been developed in American athletics. Whatever game he played he always played it first of all for the joy of the sport. The first recipient of the Hobey Baker Memorial Award in 1981 came from a WCHA team forward Neal Broten of Minnesota. Including that first honor, the WCHA has had more Hobey Baker winners 16 total than any other college hockey conference. hobey baker memorial award winners and wcha finalists hobey baker and his princeton team the legend and the History of the Award The Hobey Baker Memorial Award is presented annually to the college hockey player who best exemplifies the qualities that Princeton University s Hobey Baker himself demonstrated as an athlete and as a servant of his country in the early 1900 s. Hobey Baker (Hobart Amory Hare Baker), born January 15, 1892 to an aristocrtic Philadelphia family, played collegiate hockey at Princeton. While at Princeton, he was not only a legend in hockey, but in football as well. He captained the hockey team for two years and the football team for one. As a punt returner, his coordination and footwork allowed him to take chances and do things others wouldn t dare. After his college years at Princeton, Baker tried his hand in the real world of Wall Street insurance and banking, then the family upholstery business. But he was bored. What sustained him was playing for St. Nick s, an amateur team in Manhattan. His teammates were ex-harvard, Yale and Princeton players and a few Canadians working in the city. However, the rest of the league made no pretense of being anything but semi-pros. The winter of 1916 Hobey s mind was on a very different sort of competition. Believing American involvement in the World War was close at hand, he took up flying. In 1917 Hobey was commissioned a lieutenant in the Army. As a member of the famous Lafayette Escadrille, he was with the first group of American pilots sent to France. He was as adventurous a pilot as he had been an athlete, chosen on occasion to exhibit aerial acrobatics with his friend Eddie Rickenbacker. In combat flying, he found even more danger and excitement than he had in contact sports - and Hobey needed both. He was officially credited with bringing down three enemy planes and was decorated with the Croix de Guerre for exceptional valor under fire. Following the armistice, his orders home in hand, Hobey announced to his fellow officers he was going to take one last flight in the old Spad. His mates were quick to argue with the young captain who was challenging the oldest tradition of the air service never take a last flight lest it be just that. But they were not able to dissuade him and were even more upset when the plane he insisted on flying was a borrowed one, just out of the repair shop. Tradition was not to be denied the final victory that gray, dismal day over Toul, France. Just a quarter mile out, the engine quit and the plane crashed. Hobey Baker, age 26, died in the ambulance a short time later. In 1919 he received a posthumous Army citation from General Pershing for distinguished service and exceptional gallantry. With his death in France, the old-fashioned virtues Hobey Baker personified took on legendary qualities. He was one of the first Americans selected to the Hockey Hall of Fame, in In Winner: Neal Broten, F, UM.

I have had the privilege of coaching Brad for three seasons, said Michigan Tech head coach Mel Pearson. He is a coach s dream with the leadership that he has provided in the classroom, in off-ice sessions, in practices and in every game. Brad sets the example for our players with his character, discipline and hard work. Brad is a defensive defenseman who has led the team in ice time over the past two seasons. This year he was elected co-captain and was an assistant captain in his junior year. After our season was finished, he was given the opportunity for an amateur tryout with the Stockton Thunder; he will do well and complete his studies and graduate. Brad was married last summer so in addition to everything that he was doing with our team, his studies and community work, he added the responsibilities of being a husband in his senior year. He and his wive even led a team Bible study group this past season. Brad is one of the finest student-athletes I have had the pleasure of working with. His leadership and character have certainly helped us rebuild the culture and program at Michigan Tech. He will be very successful. Among his many volunteer activities, Stebner regularly speaks at local schools to promote both academics and athletics as part of Coaches Kids, has interacted with children and the community on various events including Skate with the Huskies, has been a volunteer coach at summer camps in both Houghton and his hometown of Fort McMurray, has worked with Project Keepstraight a drug awareness program in Fort McMurray, and has helped with Santa s Anonymous to pack and distribute Christmas gifts to needy families in his hometown. In his senior season of , Stebner served as team co-captain for the Huskies, appearing in 37 games with eight points on one goal and seven assists and an impressive +7 plus-minus rating. He as named the team s John MacInnes Slide Rule recipient and earned WCHA Scholar-Athlete accolades. He had two assists in a 10-4 conference win over Alabama Huntsville on Feb. 8. As a junior in , he served as assistant captain and played in 35 games, earned WCHA Scholar-Athlete accolades for the second straight season, and was named the John MacInnes Slide Rule Award 203

206 winner for having the Huskies highest grade-point average. As a sophomore in , Stebner posted a team-best plus/minus rating of +12 in 37 games, was named a WCHA Scholar-Athlete, earned WCHA All-Academic Team honor and received MTU s Rick Yeo Unsung Hero Award (co-recipient with Dennis Rix). In his first collegiate season of , he earned the Elov Seger Memorial Award as the team s most improved player while appearing in 30 games. He recorded his first career point with an assist on a game-winning shorthanded goal at Denver. Hockey has been a life long dream of mine and the fact that it has given me and opportunity to pursue a great career and education is truly incredible, said Stebner. I intend on applying for Medical School and becoming a doctor. This summer I have scheduled to write the MCAT and will be applying for several different universities and their medical programs. This application will be for the academic year, which will also give me a season to pursue a year of pro hockey and gain the experience it entails. Although I have not decided yet on an exact specialization, but there are several fields that really interest me including radiology, anesthesiology, and general family practice. I have always been fascinated by anatomy and the workings of the human body. Most importantly, I love helping others and want to make a difference. My love of athletics as well as academics provides me with a unique opportunity to continue to work in a field that involves attributes I have gained through my experiences at Michigan Tech including hard work, dedication, leadership and teamwork. Prior to enrolling at Michigan Tech, Stebner played three seasons for the Fort McMurray Oil Barons of the AJHL, appearing in 166 games with 87 points (13g, 69a). He earned the Terry Conroy Memorial Award in 2008, was named the team s best defenseman and was an all-star selection in 2009, and in his final season in Fort McMurray he was honored as the team s best defenseman, was a finalist for AJHL defenseman of the year, and served as the captain for the north division all-star team. Stebner is a 2007 graduate of Harry Ainlay High School and is the son of Darryl and Deb Stebner of Fort McMurray. His hobbies include fishing, camping, video games, watching movies and working out. Nominating Stebner for the WCHA Postgraduate Scholarship was William Sproule, Faculty Athletic Representative at MTU. Allis, a senior at Ohio State in , hails from West Olive, Mich. Owner of a 3.6 cumulative grade-point average, she played in 134 games for the Buckeyes at both defense and forward over her four seasons, producing 10 points on two goals and eight assists. Her collegiate career highlights include earning the prestigious WCHA Scholar-Athlete award in both 2013 and 2014, being named an Ohio State Scholar-Athlete four times (2011, 2012, 2013, 2014), being a multiple WCHA All-Academic Team honoree, being a Big Ten Medal of Honor nominee in 2014, and earning Dean s List acclaim at OSU over nine terms between 2010 and She suited up for 35 games in her final season, firing a career-high 45 shots on goal while moving up to play as a forward for the majority of the campaign. She also recorded four assists this past season and was credited with 66 blocked shots. As a junior in , Allis played in 31 games for the Buckeyes, as a sophomore in she saw action in 36 contests and as a freshman in , she played in 32 games and earned WCHA Rookie of the Week honors on Oct. 10, 2010 after notching her first points in a sweep of league rival St. Cloud State. Her first collegiate goal came against Syracuse in the Buckeyes 6-2 win Oct. 30, As head coach at Ohio State, I have had wonderful opportunity to coach Becky over the past three years, said Nate Handrahan, and seeing her develop athletically, academically and personally has been extremely rewarding. She is the epitome of the student-athlete, able to balance the strenuous demands of being a Division 1 athlete with ease, and thanks to her tireless work ethic, Becky has always had one of our top grade-point averages. She has repeatedly been named a WCHA, Big Ten and OSU academic scholar-athlete as an Exercise Science major. She has also continually given back to the community through involvements in the 2nd and Seven Foundation, internships at Nationwide Children s Hospital and the Ohio Therapy Institute, helping with Operation Buckeye (packing boxes for troops) and working with Big Sisters and Race for the Cure among others. On the ice, she has played at both forward and defense, which for a coach is very beneficial. You can't coach versatility and Becky embodied that quality. She took pride in trying to be the best she could, was always willing to play any role the team needed and was a team first player. She was extremely hard to play against and was the hardest working player on our team. Whether it was at practice or in a game, she never took a shift off. Her teammates saw her passion and work ethic and tried to emulate it. She led us by example and we were fortunate to have her don the Buckeye jersey for four years. Of her future plans, Allis said, I plan to attend a doctorate of physical therapy program after graduating, which consists of three more years of study. Physical therapy captured my interest because of its restorative properties; to restore an injured body to full function is a challenging but rewarding career. As a physical therapist, I can do much more than heal injuries; I can educate patients about their physical limitations, motivate them to improve their abilities and initiate lifestyle changes. Building relationships with patients as they progress through their rehabilitation gives me more time to be involved in their health and well-being. Prior to enrolling at Ohio State, Allis played hockey for the Chicago Mission Under-19 team while attending Black River Public School, where she also earned all-conference honors while competing in soccer. She spent the season with the Grand Rapids Griffins, producing 20 goals and 15 assists in 64 games, and played with the Kentwood Falcons the previous two seasons with 29 goals and 30 assists in 95 games while helping the Falcons to the 2008 LCAHL Championship. She was a five-year member of the Holland Hockey boys program and attended the 2009 USA Hockey National Development Camp. The daughter of Jim Allis and Jeri Walsh-Allis, Becky also enjoys playing soccer, running and biking. Nominating Allis for the WCHA Postgraduate Scholarship was John Bruno, Faculty Athletic Representative at OSU. wcha Post-graduate Scholarship Recipients 2004 Men: Mike Colgan, CC.

The WCHA was the first collegiate hockey conference to send an all-star team overseas when a group of seniors traveled to Switzerland in August of 1998 to compete in the Kolin Cup Tournament along three elite-level European clubs. Representing all nine conference teams, the 1998 WCHA All-Star Team contingent was led by Commissioner Bruce McLeod and coached by Jeff Sauer, the winningest coach in league history. This is a tremendous development for the WCHA as well as for all of college hockey, said McLeod in announcing the tour. It is the culmination of years of developmental work and will provide an exciting new avenue of exposure for our game. The outstanding yougn men who have been chosen to this team are looking foward to a wonderfully competitive and educational experience. At the Kolin Culp, hosted by the Swiss towns of Zug and Seewen August 21-13, the WCHA All-Star Team joined EV Zug (1998 Swiss champion), Germany s Krefeld Penguins (defending tournament champion) and Germany s Adler Manheim. Game one saw the WCHA All-Stars fall 7-5 to Adler Mannheim, game two was a 6-5 setback to EV Zug and game three was a 3-3 tie against Krefeld. 217
