Jack HittingerTwo weeks left. Four games to go in the regular season. No team has clinched anything but home ice. No team has been eliminated from contention. Welcome to the WCHA. This weekend all 10 teams are in action with plenty on the line — the MacNaughton Cup, the final home ice slot, the final playoff … Read more
1. Still Crazy After All These Weeks Down to two weeks (and four games) remaining in the regular season and nothing has yet been decided. What else did you expect from the wild WCHA?

Three weeks left in the regular season and…. four teams are off this week. Not sure why it worked out what way because it definitely would have been more exciting to have all 10 teams in action for ever game in the final month of the season. Oh well… C’est la vie. Six teams are in … Read more

After a wild swing of emotions in their last two series, the Chargers are in eighth place in the WCHA.
Jack here. We’re at the month mark of the regular season, and six of the 10 WCHA teams have eight games to play in that time. In other words: Get ready for a sprint to the finish line. Minnesota State and Michigan Tech have already clinched home ice and Bowling Green can this weekend if … Read more

A few things from the weekend that was in the WCHA: 1.

They both reached the 100-point mark in the same period last Saturday against Alabama-Huntsville.
Shane here … The WCHA race is heating up. I’m curious to see how much of it comes down to the wire like it did last season when the MacNaughton Cup, home ice and the final playoff spots all came down to the final weekend. It’s a six-week sprint, starting now – or at least … Read more

1. State champions Coming into this weekend’s North Star College Cup, Bemidji State were afterthoughts. As the lone unranked team in the competition, the Beavers didn’t get much chatter prior to their game Friday against No. 7 Minnesota Duluth. Beating the Bulldogs 4-0 changed that a little. Winning the whole damn thing on Saturday — … Read more

In the WCHA, that means… well, it means we’re probably nowhere near close to figuring out which team is going to win the MacNaughton Cup, but we maybe have a decent idea. Right now Minnesota State holds an eight-point first-place lead and … Read more
