MCHA picks: Jan. 11

That brings my season record to 34-24-2 (.566). All eight teams are back in conference action this weekend. Lawrence will host Adrian in a weekend series. Concordia … Read more

A look forward to the second half

There are only six weekends of games left, with all weekends seeing conference play. With almost a month off from the conference schedule, this is a perfect point in the season to evaluate what happened in first half, and show what teams need to compete when playoffs come around. Right now, Adrian is still unbeaten … Read more

Before I get ahead of myself with conference action, let’s get past this final weekend of nonconference tilts. Last weekend, I went 2-2-0 … Read more

MCHA picks: Dec. 7

There is a slew of nonconference action this weekend, with the lone MCHA games coming from a home-and-home series between Marian and MSOE.

MSOE faces ups and downs early in the season

A typical day for a Milwaukee School of Engineering Raider starts in the classroom, and then they could be designing and testing mechanical devices for a real-life client before heading to the rink for a grueling practice. The rest of the evening is spent doing homework. Ah, what a life. In conversations I have had … Read more
