Season Preview: Defensemen

The 2017-18 Michigan Tech Huskies have nine defensemen on their roster (a year after rostering only six, if you exclude Chris Leibinger), so there is a good chance we will see some of just about all of them.

They will have to stomach the departure of three key members of a blueline that aided in having a top ten defense in the country.

Preseason

Cooper Watson, Dane Birks, Keegan Ford, Mark Auk, Mitch Reinke, Seamus Donohue, Shane Hanna, Tyler Rockwell
