This Week In The WCHA: Oct. 18, 2001

by

A number of WCHA teams are off to flying starts, not the least of which being Alaska-Anchorage. No, the Seawolves are not 2-0 like many of their bretheren, but they did go 1-0-1 in front of a large and lively home crowd, as new coach John Hill made his debut.

2001-02 Minnesota Season Preview

by

Minnesota might have the top returning talent in the WCHA, including the Defensive Player of the Year in Jordan Leopold, but the Gophers could be haunted by their finishes in big games. Can Don Lucia’s squad continue its return to prominence?

2001-02 Minnesota State-Mankato Season Preview

by

Troy Jutting knows well that the college hockey season doesn’t open with the drop of the puck in October, and it doesn’t start with practice in September.
