Maybe two guys do make that much of a difference. At least in the case of the Wisconsin Badgers, they do. Jeff Likens and Jake Dowell spent the last two weeks in Grand Forks, N.D., playing for the U.S. World Junior team. The rest of their regular team spent the time getting embarrassed at home, … Read more

When it rains, it pours. And in Columbus, Ohio, where it has rained all week, the same was true for tonight’s WCHA showdown between the Buckeyes and No. 3 Minnesota-Duluth.

So this is what the Colgate coaching staff had in mind when they recruited Tyler Burton. The talented rookie scored twice to lead his Raiders (14-5-0, 6-1-0 ECACHL) to a 3-1 win over the Harvard Crimson (9-5-2, 6-4-1) before a sellout crowd of 2,776 at the Bright Hockey Center.

Following a 26-day break, a little rusty play from No. 1 Minnesota might have been expected against a Bemidji State team that already resumed play last week. By limiting the Gophers (16-1-2, WCHA 13-0-2) to just one power play and getting 39 saves on 41 shots on goalie Jill Luebke, the Beavers (5-15-1, 1-14-0) kept … Read more
