This season’s St. Cloud State team appears to be one that gets the job done on the road, no matter how hairy any given scenario might be for the Huskies. Last Friday’s game at intrastate rival Minnesota-Duluth proved a perfect example. Playing its first home game since Oct. 26, UMD bossed large parts of its … Read more

You may remember I suggested in my NCHC column last Wednesday that, with Nebraska-Omaha goaltender Ryan Massa playing so well on Friday nights so far this month, maybe the time had come to make him the Mavericks’ solid No. 1 starter. It appears UNO coach Dean Blais could be leaning that way. One wouldn’t expect … Read more

OMAHA, Neb. — In a game where every goal came with one team on a power play and the other not, Nebraska-Omaha’s special teams units came up trumps Saturday night. Thanks to two power-play goals and a game-winner that came while the Mavericks were shorthanded, unranked UNO downed No. 8 Miami by a 3-1 count. … Read more

OMAHA, Neb. — With several goals coming mere moments apart Saturday at CenturyLink Center, the game between Nebraska-Omaha and No. 2 Michigan always felt like a last-goal-wins sort of affair.

To find out what a performance from a hockey team’s captain should look like, one needn’t look much further than the game film from last weekend’s series between No. 11 North Dakota and Nebraska-Omaha.
