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. Only three of them were on last season’s team, leaving doubt on what this unit may turn out to be. 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.

Weekend Wrap Up: NCAA Midwest Regional

The Huskies met the end of their season Saturday against the #1 overall seed Denver Pioneers. The Pioneers scored four unanswered first period goals leaving the Huskies with an unenviable challenge. The Pioneers added another goal early in the second to seemingly seal Tech's fate. Whether the Huskies had nerves coming into the NCAA tourney, or were simply outplayed by the top seed of the tourney, MTU felt the pressure of the NCAA tourney right from the start of the game.

Gavin Gould (Fr., F) had four goals on the weekend, including a hat trick in Saturday's 4-1 win, to send the Huskies to the WCHA Championship game. On the other side of the ice, Angus Redmond (Fr., G), did his job and only allowed three goals in three games.
