Four games will be carried on linear networks, with the remaining two contests streaming on BTN Plus. Minnesota defeated Michigan State last Saturday in the nightcap of the third-annual Super Saturday - College Hoops & Hockey doubleheader at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The Gophers completed the series sweep with a 2-1 win over the Spartans at the World s Most Famous Arena. Six Big Ten teams appear in the USCHO.com and USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine polls. Notre Dame paces conference teams at No. 1 in both polls. Ohio State follows at No. 6/6, Minnesota checks in at No. 13/14, Penn State comes in at No. 14/12, while Michigan and Wisconsin are No. 17 and No. 18 in the USCHO.com poll, respectively, and are both receiving votes in the coaches rankings. Since the season, five Big Ten schools (Michigan, Minnesota, Notre Dame, Penn State and Wisconsin) have been ranked in the top five of both the USCHO.com and USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine polls. Those five teams have combined to be ranked in the top five of both polls a total of 81 times, with at least one top-five team in 61 out of 116 weeks. Ohio State currently leads the nation on the penalty kill, stopping 90.1 percent of opponent opportunities (82-of-91). The Buckeyes are the only team above 90 percent nationally. Notre Dame and Ohio State currently rank in the top five nationally in scoring defense. The Fighting Irish rank third nationally and pace all Big Ten teams by allowing just 2.04 goals per game, while the Buckeyes check in at No. 4 at Ohio State s Tanner Laczynski paces all conference players and ranks third nationally with 34 points through 24 games. Laczynski also leads the country in assists (23). Big Ten teams currently occupy five of the top 25 positions on the national team scoring list. Penn State leads the conference with 3.77 goals per game, followed by Michigan in 10th (3.33), Wisconsin in 15th (3.19), Notre Dame in 18th (3.12) and Ohio State in 23rd with 3.00 goals per contest.

3 BIG TEN HOCKEY WEEKLY RELEASE 3 Big Life. Big Stage. Big Ten. Since its inception in 1896, the pursuit and attainment of academic excellence has been a priority for every Big Ten member institution. But maintaining the conference s standard of competing at the highest level in athletics also endures as an important component of the Big Ten experience. Striking that balance between academics and athletics is integral to the Big Ten s identity. Recognized as one of intercollegiate sports most successful undertakings, the Big Ten strives for success from its students not only on the field and in the classroom, but around the world as well. PREMIER ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS The Big Ten Academic Alliance is an academic consortium of all 14 Big Ten universities, which is widely considered to be the model for effective and voluntary collaboration among top research universities. Every Big Ten Academic Alliance institution ranks among the top 78 universities in the nation according to the 2014 Academic Ranking of World Universities, including six in the top 25. The Big Ten leads all conferences with more than 1,700 Academic All- Americans, including 47 honorees during the academic year. Big Ten Academic Alliance schools annually conduct $10 billion in funded research, $5 billion more than any other conference. A HISTORY OF ATHLETIC SUCCESS Big Ten schools have won at least seven national championships in seven of the last nine academic years and at least five in each of the last 20 years. In the last four full academic years, current Big Ten institutions have claimed 28 team national championships in 15 different sports. Over the last 11 full academic years, current Big Ten institutions have won 82 team national titles in 23 different sports. BROAD-BASED PROGRAMMING The Big Ten will administer over $200 million in direct financial support to more than 9,500 students competing in intercollegiate athletics for more than 11,000 participation opportunities on 350 teams in 42 different sports. The Big Ten sponsors 28 official conference sports, 14 for men and 14 for women, including the addition of men s ice hockey and men s and women s lacrosse the last three years. The Big Ten leads the nation in total students competing in intercollegiate athletics and participation opportunities, and sponsors more official sports than all conferences except the Ivy League. Almost 1,400 Big Ten competitors have participated in the Olympics, winning more than 600 medals, including nearly 300 gold. In the 2016 Olympic Games, 159 representatives from Big Ten institutions including current or former students and coaches were members to Olympic teams. Big Ten Olympians collected 47 medals in Rio. PASSIONATE FOLLOWING The Big Ten leads all conferences with 5.7 million alumni and nearly 580,000 students. Each year more than 11 million patrons attend Big Ten home contests, as the conference leads the nation in attendance for men s basketball, hockey, volleyball and wrestling.
