Jack Hittinger1. Mavericks pulling away? Michigan Tech has led the WCHA standings for what seems like the entire season. But after the past two weekends, the paradigm is starting to shift. Minnesota State has surged to a six-point lead after taking seven points in the last two weeks. The Mavs swept Lake Sueprior State this weekend then … Read more
I love these weeks, and there needs to be more of them. It’s good for the WCHA when all 10 WCHA teams are in action, especially when they’re all playing against each other, which is the case this weekend. It’s just the second time this season that it has happened, but it gets everyone paying … Read more

The old rivals from Division II days are separated by a point in the WCHA standings.
Shane here … Happy new year, everybody! Jack and I weren’t so hot with our WCHA picks last week. Didn’t see that Lake Superior State tournament championship in Florida coming (Congratulations, Lakers!). Didn’t see Michigan Tech and Ferris State losing in the first round of the Great Lakes Invitational. The picks get no easier this … Read more

And we’re back! Kinda. The WCHA eases back into action this week with three teams participating in holiday tournaments. Michigan Tech and Ferris State are making this season’s Great Lakes Invitational an ostensible all-Michigan version of a WCHA/B1G challenge Sunday and Monday in Detroit, while Lake Superior State is making its first trip to the Florida College Hockey Classic. … Read more

Slim pickings as far as college hockey goes this week. In fact, aside from a Bemidji State/Ohio State women’s series also happening this weekend, this is the only non-exhibition Division I action this week. Shane still has a slim lead over me in the overall picks but I gained on him thanks to picking the … Read more

1. Tech, Minnesota State tied at the top No matter what happened this weekend, the WCHA’s top three teams would have been set going into intermission anyway. Michigan Tech and Minnesota State — both of whom played nonconference contests this weekend — are tied at the top of the league table with 20 points, while … Read more

Minnesota-Duluth travels to Houghton this weekend for the 225th and 226th meetings in the all-time series.
We’re finally into December, and I’m still hanging tough three games behind Shane (Ferris State tying Wisconsin last Friday didn’t do me many favors, but it turned out Shane also picked the Badgers to win on the wrong day so it’s a wash). This week just seven of the league’s teams are in action, with … Read more

After last weekend featured all 10 league teams in action against each other, this weekend found the action dialed back a little, with just three league series and two teams having byes. Three notable things, from my view: 1. Solid weekend for top teams After their exciting series in Houghton (one that the Mavericks swept … Read more

The Wildcats allowed more than two goals for the first time all season last Saturday.
For the first time this season, all 10 WCHA teams are in action against one another. It should make for a more exiting weekend than we’ve seen before this season — all five series will have four league points on the line. Which teams will separate themselves from the pack? Will Michigan Tech remain undefeated? … Read more
