Jack HittingerIt was all chalk in this weekend’s WCHA quarterfinals, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t some exciting series. Michigan Tech, Minnesota State, Bowling Green and Ferris State will be playing in Grand Rapids, Mich., in next weekend’s Final Five — the same group that played in St. Paul last season. Here’s what happened (and let … Read more
Shane here … The playoffs are here, and, as I’ve thought throughout the year, it’s a wide-open race for the Broadmoor Trophy. Based on the way teams have defended and tended goal this season, as well as the vast number of low-scoring, one-goal games (not to mention the ties, dear God, the ties!), it would … Read more

Woah, it’s March! The final weekend of the regular season. That came by quick. You know what that means: It’s the WCHA, so literally* everything is still up for grabs (*OK, not exactly LITERALLY, but you get the idea). Strap in, because these ones should be fun.

The Mavericks lead Michigan Tech and Bowling Green by two points with two games to play.
Once again, the MacNaughton Cup won’t be decided until the final weekend of the regular season. It’s becoming the norm in the new-look WCHA: In 2013-14, Ferris State claimed the league title by just one point — the Bulldogs swept Lake Superior State then got help from Michigan Tech, who tied second-place Minnesota State in the … Read more

Hey guys, Jack checking in. Home stretch here, and there are some great series this weekend. However, one weird thing I’ve noticed that I don’t like: Too many teams have off weekends in the last month of the season.
