Welcome back, friends! Jack here. Although college hockey technically kicked off the season last weekend, we’re doing our inaugural 2019-20 WCHA picks competition blog this week. (For what it’s worth, both Brandon and I were perfect with what would have been our picks last week…. yeah, let’s go with that….) Anyway, most of the action … Read more
When Bowling Green was still finalizing its schedule in early April, Ty Eigner and Chris Bergeron had no idea they’d be starting the season on different benches (photo: BGSU Athletics).
This should be an exciting year in the WCHA. Minnesota State has won three of the last six WCHA titles. USCHO expects Mankato to go for its fourth title, or at least compete with Bowling Green or one of the Upper Peninsula teams for the McNaughton Cup (photo: BGSU Athletics).
Bowling Green coach Chris Bergeron knows his team is on the bubble (photo: BGSU Athletics).

Alabama Huntsville hasn’t been on the good end of close games much this season (photo: Jim Rosvold).
The college hockey world is small, and updates of games in-progress usually make the rounds on social media pretty quickly, especially if they’re as shocking as one score in particular from Saturday night’s action: Alaska Anchorage led North Dakota 3-1 after two periods in Grand Forks (photo: Bradley K.

When it came to goaltending for Bemidji State during the past three and a half years, Tom Serratore had a relatively simple decision: Just write in Michael Bitzer’s name and worry about everything else (photo: Bemidji State Athletics).
Each week, USCHO.com will pick the top 10 moments from the past weekend in our new Monday 10 feature (photo: Melissa Wade).
After losing so many pieces of last season’s MacNaughton Cup-winning team, Mike Hastings wasn’t entirely sure how he’d be able to replace that production so soon at Minnesota State (photo: Minnesota State Athletics).
Let’s get it out of the way now: Four games is an extremely small sample size. Chris Bergeron is well aware (photo: Isaiah Vasquez/Bowling Green Marketing & Communications).

Kobe Roth suffered a fractured tibia in the first period Saturday, but linemates Jade Miller and Billy Exell added captain Karson Kuhlman to the mix and contributed a goal.
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Notre Dame did it again. With just 5.2 seconds left in their semifinal game against Michigan, the Fighting Irish got an improbable goal from captain Jake Evans to beat the Wolverines 4-3 and advance to Saturday’s national title game against Minnesota Duluth. It was yet another last-second playoff victory for the … Read more
