What began as a 2013-14 season filled with plenty of questions ultimately became a campaign to remember, as college hockey’s
most historic league – the Western Collegiate Hockey Association – proved it will continue on as a power in Division 1 men’s
ice hockey and continue to build on a seven-decade legacy of tradition and success.
Marking it’s 62nd season of competition, the league welcomed six new teams to the Association family for the 2013-14
campaign, as the Alabama Huntsville Chargers, Alaska Nanooks, Bowling Green Falcons, Ferris State Bulldogs, Lake Superior State
Lakers and Northern Michigan Wildcats joined with Alaska Anchorage, Bemidji State, Michigan Tech and Minnesota State to
forge what would quickly develop into an ultra-competitive, passion-filled 10-team circuit. In addition to creating new rivalries,
adding new fans and reaching into new markets, the conference staged its long-running WCHA Final Five playoff championship
in a new city and new venue – Grand Rapids, Michigan and Van Andel Arena. The season also brought an announcement that
longtime league commissioner Bruce McLeod would be retiring on June 30 after 20 years at the helm and ultimately that Bill
Robertson, a proven leader in the sports world, a champion of collegiate hockey and a strong partner of the WCHA for many
years, was chosen to lead the conference into a new era in a well-attended press conference held at Xcel Energy Center in

WCHA M • Season in Review • 052014
Saint Paul on April 8.
Along the way, there were a number of significant developments and highlights.
An all-new WCHA.com and WCHA.com/mobile led the way for the new-look league
with a pre-season debut full of new features. With the start of the season, the
league announced a new partnership with America ONE Sports that provided a
first-ever conference-wide broadband initiative, with every member team home
game videostreamed live and on demand. The league continued its long-running
weekly radio show, This Week in the WCHA, and added a new weekly package
of video highlights at WCHA.com beginning at the first of the year that ran each
Wednesday.
The league staged a WCHA Final Five promotional event in downtown Grand Rapids
on October 5, which featured tournament ticket package discounts, merchandise
give-aways, face-painting, games and public ice skating sessions at Van Andel Arena
during the city of Grand Rapids’ world-renowned ArtPrize weekend. Throughout
the season, the Road to Van Andel Arena featured great room rates and discount
ticket packages in conjunction with Northwest Corner Hotels, and then at the WCHA
Final Five itself, held March 21-22, there were three-days of fun-filled activities that
included a WCHA Kick-Off Event and WCHA “The Voice’ Contest on Thursday at the
Deltaplex, The Purple Community Game to Fight Cancer on Friday, a USA Hockey
Youth Coaching Workshop and Sports Madness Pre-Championship Game Tailgate
Party on Saturday at the B.O.B. in downtown Grand Rapids and the well-known
“Dance Mania” contest held throughout all three tournament games. The Final
Five was again telecast live by FOX Sports North and also carried by FOX Sports
Wisconsin, FOX Sports Detroit, Sports Time Ohio, and FOX College Sports Central.
The 2013-14 regular season again featured 28 league games per team, with
Ferris State ultimately prevailing as conference and MacNaughton Cup champion
by a single point over second place Minnesota State. The final weekend of the
regular season had plenty of intrigue, with the five conference series and 10 games
contested March 7-8 deciding the conference regular season championship, four
remaining playoff positions, two first round home playoff slots and four first round
playoff pairings. Heading into that final weekend, five teams were alive for the last
four playoff slots, and six teams were alive for the last two home ice slots. Minnesota State and Ferris State would be seeded #1 and #2 in either order. If Minnesota
State sweeps Michigan Tech then Minnesota State will be the #1 seed. Alaska and
Michigan Tech had clinched playoff spots, and each controlled its own destiny for
home ice. Alaska could clinch home ice with a win in either game against Alaska
Anchorage while Michigan Tech would clinch with three or more points against
Minnesota State. Alaska Anchorage and Bowling Green could each clinch playoff
spots by earning two or more points the final weekend. Lake Superior State could
clinch a playoff spot with three or more points. Bemidji State and Northern Michigan
could each earn playoff spots with weekend sweeps. Northern Michigan could not
earn home ice but did control its own destiny for a playoff berth.
Ultimately, Ferris State locked up the No. 1 playoff seed, Minnesota State was
No. 2, Alaska was No. 3 and Bowling Green was No. 4 as the four first-round hosts.
The Bulldogs won two straight over No. 8 Bemidji State, the Mavericks downed No
7 Northern Michigan in three games, the Nanooks were upended in three games
by No. 6 Alaska Anchorage and the Falcons skated past No. 5 Michigan Tech in two.
At the WCHA Final Five, Minnesota State won 4-0 over Bowling Green in the
first semifinal on March 21 while Ferris State upended Alaska Anchorage, 5-4 in
overtime. In the Broadmoor Trophy championship game at Van Andel Arena, the
Mavericks defeated the Bulldogs 4-1 to gain the league’s automatic berth into the
national tournament. Named to the WCHA Final Five All-Tournament Team were
forwards Teddy Blueger of Minnesota State, Gerald Mayhew of Ferris State and
Bryce Gervais of Minnesota State, defensemen Brett Stern of Minnesota State and
Austin Coldwell of Alaska Anchorage, and goaltender Cole Huggins of Minnesota
State. Huggins, who surrendered just one goal on the weekend, also earned Final
Five tourney most outstanding player honors.
MacNaughton Cup champion Ferris State and Broadmoor Trophy champion
Minnesota State then carried the collective hopes of the WCHA into the 2014 NCAA
Men’s Division 1 Ice Hockey Tournament over the final weekend of March, and as
they had all season long, the Bulldogs and Mavericks did both themselves and the
league proud.
Both clubs came up just short in NCAA regional competition, with Ferris State
falling 2-1 in double overtime to North Dakota in the Midwest Regional championship
game in Cincinnati, Ohio on March 29 and the Mavericks dropping a 2-1 decision to
UMass-Lowell in a semifinal match up at the Northeast Regional in Worcester, Mass.
Ferris State, who defeated Colgate 1-0 in their first Midwest Regional semifinal on
March 28, finished their first campaign as a WCHA member with a stellar 29-11-3
record and .709 winning percentage overall while Minnesota State wound up with
a noteworthy 26-14-1 mark, good for a .646 winning percentage.
Regional winners Boston College (Northeast), Minnesota (West), North Dakota
(Midwest) and Union College (East) then advanced to the 2014 NCAA Men’s Frozen
Four, held April 10 and 12 at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pa. Union ultimately
claimed the top prize.

Ferris State Falls to North Dakota, 2-1,
in Double Overtime in NCAA Midwest
Regional Final
Cincinnati, Ohio – One of the more memorable Ferris State University men's ice
hockey campaigns came to an end on Saturday (March 29) night in the NCAA
Midwest Regional Championship game at US Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio, as the
Bulldogs fell in double-overtime to North Dakota by a 2-1 score in an instant classic.
The two teams battled for more than 81 minutes before North Dakota scored
the game-winner on Connor Gaardner's shot in front of the net in the second extra
period. The loss denied the Bulldogs a second trip to the NCAA Frozen Four in three
years as FSU fell a game short while concluding the year with a 29-11-3 overall
record.
“First of all, I want congratulate North Dakota in winning tonight and playing a
great game,” said FSU head coach Bob Daniels. “But, I want to congratulate our
players as well. They really played well, and, more importantly, it’s been a great ride.
I’m exceedingly proud and realize that we’re going to look back and be appreciative
of this year. Its a little painful right now, but I am very appreciative of the efforts of
our team.”
The Bulldogs, playing in the regional title game for the third time in school history,
carried play much of the contest and held a decided advantage in total shots by a
45-26 count.
Following a scoreless opening frame, FSU struck first at 7:31 of the second period
as senior forward Cory Kane notched his 14th goal of the campaign on a shot that
2014 WCHA Regular Season/MacNaughton Cup Champions
WCHA M • Season in Review • 052014
skipped past North Dakota netminder Zane Gothberg. Fellow senior forward Andy
Huff picked up his 14th assist of the year while junior goaltender CJ Motte was given
credit for starting the attack for his fourth assist of the season.
However, North Dakota answered with 9:20 left in the middle frame on a powerplay goal from Stephane Pattyn for his seventh of the season following a Bulldog
tripping penalty. Both Paul LaDue and Nick Mattson earned the helpers, which were
their 14th and 18th of the year, respectively.
The two teams battled thru a scoreless third period and another 20 minutes in
the first overtime session with neither team able to find the back of the net. FSU
held a decisive 44-25 edge in total shots thru the first 80 minutes of action and had
14 opportunities in the first extra session compared to only six for UND.
After the second overtime intermission, North Dakota finally ended the contest at
81:28 when Gaardner scored near the Bulldog net on a shot that just got by Motte,
who was stellar in net for the Bulldogs all weekend in the NCAA Tournament. Paul
LaDue and Mattson teamed up for assists on the game-winner as North Dakota
reached the Frozen Four for the 20th time in school history.
Motte finished with 24 total saves in net for the Bulldogs, which included 12 in
the opening period followed by four in the second, two in the third and six in the
first extra 20 minutes of play. He claimed the game's third star for his efforts in the
regional final.
Meanwhile, at the opposite end of the ice, Gothberg registered 44 total saves.
He made eight in the first frame, nine in the second, 12 in the third and 14 in the
first overtime. Both goalies had a single save in the second extra period before the
contest came to an abrupt end for the Bulldogs.
Over the third period and overtime, the Bulldogs held a decisive 26-8 edge in
total shots.
Overall, Kane notched a game-high 11 total shots in his final game for the Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs finished 0-of-5 with the man-advantage and limited North Dakota
to only one power-play goal in six tries in the extra skater. Neither team had a
power-play chance in overtime action. Both teams were called for six penalties
totaling 12 minutes in the box.
The Bulldogs were making their third-ever regional title game appearance after
winning their NCAA opener on Friday (March 28) with a 1-0 victory over Colgate at
US Bank Arena. FSU also previously reached the Elite Eight in its first national tourney
berth in 2002-03 before advancing to the Frozen Four and the NCAA Championship
game two seasons ago in their second trip to the big dance.
The double-overtime contest for the Bulldogs was its second in the last two
weeks and it marked the third extra period action for FSU in the last five games of
the season.
The Bulldogs had three players chosen among the six named to the All-Tournament Team in the Midwest Regional, including Motte, Kane and senior captain
Scott Czarnowczan. They were joined by North Dakota’s Rocco Grimaldi, Connor
Gaarder and Paul LaDue with Grimaldi tabbed as the Most Outstanding Player of
the event.
Ferris State’s 29 total wins this season represented the second-most seasonal
victories in school history and this year’s five-member senior class of Kane, Czarnowczan, Huff, Garrett Thompson and Justin DeMartino leave with the most wins (89)
of any four-year class in school history.
This season, along with reaching the NCAA Tournament and the regional championship game, the Bulldogs also won the Western Collegiate Hockey Association
(WCHA) in their debut season and finished as the runner-up in the WCHA Final
Five Championship. Twenty-one of the Bulldogs' 26 roster players will be eligible
to return next season.
March 29, 2014
WCHA Final Five Champion Minnesota
State Edged by UMass Lowell 2-1 in
Northeast Regional Semifinal
Worcester, Mass. – In a game that turned into a goaltending battle, 15th-rated
Minnesota State came up one goal short at the NCAA Northeast Regional, falling
to fifth-rated UMass Lowell 2-1 in Worcester, Mass., Saturday.
The Mavericks fell behind in the opening period when River Hawks forward Joe
Pendenza took advantage of a turnover at the UML blue line and scored a shorhanded
marker at 12:54.
Neither team was able to dent the twine in the second period, but at 19:20 of
the third, with Minnesota State pulling netminder Cole Huggins in favor of an extra
attacker, the River Hawks got an empty-net tally from Zach Kamrass. Then, with
UML’s Terrence Wallin in the penalty box on a roughing minor, the Mavericks finally
solved UML goaltender Connor Hellebuyck when freshman forward Zach Stepan
scored on with a backhander off of a rebound from Johnny McInnis’ shot with :10
Minnesota State Mavericks
2014 WCHA Final Five/Broadmoor Trophy Champions
WCHA M • Season in Review • 052014
seconds left in regulation for a six-on-four power play goal. Junior forward Matt
Leitner won the face-off to get the puck to McInnis and the goal by Stepan is his
ninth of the year.
Huggins, who was brilliant in the game, turned aside 33 of the 34 shots he faced,
while Hellebuyck, who leads the country in save percentage and goals against
average, was credited with 35 stops.
“Really no regrets other than we’re not moving on,” said Minnesota State head
coach Mike Hastings. “We knew he (Hellebuyck) was going to be good, and he was
good. I think we had some second and third opportunities that he did a good job
of keeping out of the net.”
The loss Saturday ends Minnesota State’s unbeaten streak at 13 games. The
last time Mavericks had lost prior to tonight was Jan. 31 (Northern Michigan 5,
Minnesota State 2 in Marquette, Mich.)
Minnesota State, which was making its second consecutive NCAA post-season
appearance, finishes the 2013-14 season with a 26-14-1 record.

Historic MacNaughton Cup Awarded to
WCHA Men’s Regular Season Champion
Dating back 100 years to its original purchase in 1913, handcrafted of pure silver,
standing three-feet high, and weighing more than 40 pounds, the MacNaughton
Cup is the shining symbol of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association and of its
long-time standing as one of college hockey’s premier conferences since 1951. It
is college hockey’s oldest and most valuable trophy.
The MacNaughton Cup is awarded annually to the winner of the regular season
championship, and as a traveling trophy, is on display throughout the course of
each season at the home of the previous year’s winner. Beginning in 2005-06, the
WCHA also began awarding a smaller silver replica MacNaughton Cup to the regular
season champion(s) each season.
The MacNaughton Cup has traveled a long and winding road since its initial
purchase in 1913 by the Calumet (Michigan) and Hecla Mining Company, but
officially settled into a home with the original WCHA (MCHL/WIHL) in 1951.
In 1913, James MacNaughton, then president of Calumet and Hecla, Inc., and
an avid supporter of amateur ice hockey, authorized the president of the American
Amateur Hockey Association to purchase a cup (he said the price didn’t matter) and
present it to the Association’s championship team at the end of the season. The
first winner was a team from the Cleveland (Ohio) Athletic Club. The MacNaughton
Cup remained with the AAHA until it ceased operations in 1920.
From 1921 to 1950, the Cup was fought for by semi-pro and intermediate hockey
aggregations in Michigan’s Copper Country. In 1951, the cup was donated by Calumet
and Hecla, Inc., through the generosity of Mr. & Mrs. Endicott R. Lovell, to the
newly-founded Midwest Collegiate Hockey League, forerunner of the WCHA. Lovell,
president of the company at that time and the son-in-law of James MacNaughton,
was also a ardent supporter of amateur hockey.
The MCHL chose – in the original spirit – to award the trophy to its regular season
champion. The MacNaughton Cup remained a part of the MCHL/WIHL until the
league disbanded in March of 1958 for one year. In 1959-60, the seven original
teams resumed formal competition under the name Western Collegiate Hockey
Association.
The MacNaughton Cup has gone to the league’s regular season winner on all but
seven occasions since 1951. From 1962-65, the MacNaughton Cup was presented
to the league playoff winner. In 1981-82, 1982-83 and 1983-84, the trophy left the
league with Cup custodian Michigan Tech and was presented to the champion of
the CCHA.
Broadmoor Trophy Awarded to WCHA
Playoff/Final Five Champion
The second of the WCHA’s two major championship trophies for men’s competition
is the Broadmoor Trophy, which has been awarded annually since 1985 to the winner
of the conference’s post-season championship tournament.
The history of the Broadmoor Trophy dates to 1981, when it was first presented
to the conference by the world-renowned Broadmoor Hotel and Resort Complex of
Colorado Springs, Colo. For the first three seasons of its partnership with the WCHA
(1981-1984) – and due to the departure of league member and MacNaughton Cup
(regular season championship trophy) custodian Michigan Tech to the CCHA – the
Broadmoor Trophy was presented to the Association’s regular season champion.
But when the Huskies returned to the WCHA in 1984 – with the MacNaughton Cup
in hand – the Broadmoor Trophy became, and has remained since, the symbol of
the league’s post-season tournament championship.
In March of 2010, in conjunction with the annual WCHA Final Five, the Association
unveiled a striking new Broadmoor Trophy. The new bronze cast trophy, created
by Blue Ribbon Trophies & Awards of Colorado Springs, Colo., is a recreation of
the famous Broadmoor Hotel. Long an ardent supporter of college hockey, the
Broadmoor Hotel included the former Broadmoor World Arena, which hosted the
NCAA Ice Hockey Championship a total of 11 times between 1948 and 1969.
There are a total of three Broadmoor trophies. The largest has been on display
in recent years at Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul in conjunction with the WCHA
Final Five, one is a traveling trophy, and one is awarded to the winning team each
year as a permanent addition to their display case.

St. Paul Native Bill Robertson Named New Commissioner of WCHA
SAINT PAUL, Minn. – The Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) today announced that Bill Robertson has been selected as the new commissioner of college
hockey’s most historic, tradition-rich and successful conference. He accepted a multi-year agreement with the WCHA.
Robertson, 53, succeeds Bruce McLeod, who has served as WCHA Commissioner for the past 20 years and is retiring in June.
“I am excited about this wonderful opportunity to help lead and guide the WCHA for many years to come,” said Robertson. “It is truly an honor to serve this iconic
sports and collegiate hockey conference, while showcasing some of the top student-athletes and institutions in the country.”
The committee conducted a national search with the assistance of Parker Executive Search based in Atlanta.
“We are thrilled to announce Bill Robertson as the next commissioner of the WCHA,” said Dr. Richard Davenport, President of Minnesota State University, Mankato,
who led the search committee. “He has been a champion of collegiate hockey and a strong partner of the WCHA for many years. Bill is a proven leader and expert communicator with tremendous experience developing sports organizations and events across the country, including the WCHA Final Five. His knowledge of the organization,
passion for the game, and respect for the collegiate experience make him a great choice to shepherd this new era for the WCHA.”
The WCHA Final Five playoff championship returned to Saint Paul and its new Xcel Energy Center in 2001, where Robertson was Vice President of Communications
and Broadcasting for the National Hockey League’s (NHL) Minnesota Wild and parent company Minnesota Sports & Entertainment from 1999-2011. During that time,
he helped establish the franchise and the events it hosted, and led media relations, community relations, publications and broadcasting efforts, along with league and
broadcast schedule negotiations. Robertson negotiated television broadcast agreements on behalf of the WCHA from 2001-2011.
“Bill Robertson is an outstanding choice as the next Commissioner of the WCHA,” said Xcel Energy Center Vice President and General Manager Jack Larson. “He is
recognized as an exceptional leader in the sports industry and will no doubt do phenomenal things for the conference.”
The WCHA Final Five playoff championship will be back in Saint Paul for the upcoming 2014-15 season, with dates set for March 20-21 at Xcel Energy Center.
“The Western Collegiate Hockey Association made a great choice. Bill’s years of experience in professional and amateur hockey have allowed him to develop tremendous relationships at all levels of hockey,” said Mike Snee, executive director of College Hockey, Inc. “He also understands both the significant history of the WCHA as
well as the opportunities the league has in the future.”
Prior to the Wild, Robertson directed communications for Major League Baseball’s (MLB) Anaheim Angels, the NHL’s Mighty Ducks, and the National Basketball
Association’s (NBA) Minnesota Timberwolves and Target Center, which hosted several NCAA Championships during his tenure. He also twice served as media relations
liaison for both USA men’s and women’s Olympic ice hockey teams (Salt Lake City 2002, Torino 2006). Most recently, he consulted on sports and entertainment matters
for Tunheim, one of the most respected strategic communications firms in the Midwest.
“We’re delighted with the selection of Bill Robertson,” said Dave Ogrean, executive director of USA Hockey. “We wish Bruce the best in retirement and look forward
to having Bill lead a league that has such rich history and has been an important part of the hockey landscape in our country for a long time.”
Robertson, who will begin his position as Commissioner of the WCHA mid-May, is from Saint Paul, Minn. He is a graduate of California State University - Fullerton where
he majored in Speech Communications. He becomes only the third commissioner in the WCHA over the past 30 years, following successful tenures for Otto Breitenbach
(1984-94) and Bruce McLeod (1994-2014).
“A love of hockey, a greater love for people and helping them be better, describes Bill Robertson,” said Craig Button, former NHL General Manager and currently the
lead television analyst for the NHL Network. “The WCHA has a long-standing history of providing opportunity to young scholar-athletes who have represented their
educational institutions both on and off the ice in exemplary fashion. Some have gone on to careers in the NHL but all have been given an opportunity to learn and grow.

Among many who come to mind is David Backes, a former player at Minnesota
State, U.S. Olympian and current St. Louis Blues’ team captain.
“Bill has a record of helping organizations get off the ground and grow and has
been recognized on numerous occasions for his and an organizations’ leading
accomplishments. The WCHA is not new but the league is entering a new era.
Bill is a man who can lead them as they establish themselves as a place for young
men to grow, develop and contribute to their institutions as hockey players and as
citizens throughout their adult life. Bill understands the meaning of ‘give and you
shall receive,’ but it is in his daily and tireless efforts where it is exemplified. I can’t
think of a more deserving person to take the reigns as WCHA Commissioner. Great
days are ahead”.
Robertson has two children: son Brett, 21, and daughter Brooke, 18. His father
Norbert, 93, played collegiate hockey at the University of Minnesota, winning the
AAU National Championship in 1940 with the Gophers, and after World War II,
competed in hockey at the University of St. Thomas. Robertson’s oldest brother
Mike, 67, played collegiate hockey at Boston College in the late 1960s.
Founded in 1951 and marking its 62nd season in 2013-14, the Western Collegiate
Hockey Association is home to a record 37 men’s national championship teams and
a record 16 Hobey Baker Memorial Award winners – more than any other collegiate
hockey conference – and boasts over 350 All-Americans and 450 National Hockey
League alumni. WCHA men’s member teams are the Alabama Huntsville Chargers,
Alaska Anchorage Seawolves, Alaska Nanooks, Bemidji State Beavers, Bowling Green
Falcons, Ferris State Bulldogs, Lake Superior State Lakers, Michigan Tech Huskies,
Minnesota State Mavericks and Northern Michigan Wildcats.
Robertson becomes only the third commissioner in the WCHA
over the past 30 years.

WCHA Commissioner McLeod to Retire June 30
Bruce McLeod, one of the most influential and successful commissioners in the history of collegiate ice hockey, has announced his intent to retire on June 30 at the end
of his current contract. Now in his 20th season at the helm of the 62-year-old Western Collegiate Hockey Association, McLeod has made a truly significant mark on both
the game itself and the organization he has led.
“It has been my distinct honor to serve this wonderful organization as Commissioner for the past 20 years and to be associated with the Western Collegiate Hockey
Association for 49 years – since 1965,” said McLeod. “The opportunity to get to know and to work alongside so many outstanding coaches and administrators, to become
acquainted with so many marvelous student-athletes, and watch our sport grow and prosper has been a blessing. I will forever be a fan.”
Chosen by the membership to succeed the retiring commissioner Otto Breitenbach in 1994, McLeod has led the WCHA to ever greater heights. Recognized throughout
the sport as one of its true leaders, his half-century of experience and wealth of knowledge about the game run the gamut from his days as a standout collegiate player at
Minnesota Duluth in the 1960s, to a school administrator in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s where he worked closely with the league and served on numerous committees,
and on to a notable tenure as commissioner of a premier collegiate athletic association. Pure and simple, McLeod has always been one of the game’s biggest fans.
“We will forever be grateful for the commitment, loyalty and leadership of Commissioner McLeod,” said Dr. Richard Davenport, President of Minnesota State University
and Chair of the WCHA Board of Directors. “His integrity, work ethic, unselfishness and enthusiasm for both the WCHA and the sport of college hockey shine through in
every thing he does. Bruce has led the league to tremendous successes over his 20 years, all the while keeping the focus on the member institutions, student-athletes
and staffs. We also are indebted to him for the tremendous efforts and leadership he put forth during the recent transition period in college hockey, where he was
instrumental in making certain the WCHA remained a leader and a competitive and successful organization. We wish him all the best in retirement.”
A native of Fort Frances, Ontario, McLeod has presided over some of the most successful seasons in the seven decades of men’s WCHA history, including eight national
championship campaigns by league teams in 1997, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2011, and has from the get-go been a vocal and strong proponent of a women’s
WCHA that has won 14 consecutive national championships since its founding in 1999-2000. His tenure with the WCHA has also seen 10 men’s member team players
awarded the Hobey Baker Memorial Award as college hockey’s top player and six women’s skaters win the Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award. Conference attendance for
both the men’s and women’s leagues has also grown throughout his tenure, with the men’s WCHA exceeding the 1,000,000 mark in home attendance for 18 consecutive
seasons through 2012-13.
“On behalf of the conference’s athletic directors, I want to thank Bruce for his years of service to the WCHA,” said Suzanne R. Sanregret, Director of Athletics at Michigan
Technological University and Chair of the WCHA. “He has been a passionate leader for the league, and his work has added to the legacy of the WCHA and the prominence
of college hockey across the country.”
Within the WCHA, McLeod has been the driving force behind the success of the WCHA Final Five playoff championship, having built productive, long-term relationships with the NHL’s Minnesota Wild, Xcel Energy Center, the City of Saint Paul and FOX Sports North as a television partner between 2000 and 2013, and now forging
new partnerships with Van Andel Arena, the City of Grand Rapids and the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins for future WCHA Final Five championships beginning this coming
March. At Xcel Energy Center, the WCHA Final Five steadily grew into what’s been considered by many to be the best conference hockey tournament in the land based
on attendance, revenue, sponsorships and exposure. The WCHA Final Five drew attendance totals in excess of 82,000 six times in the decade of the 2000s, with a record
88,900 in attendance in 2007, 87,579 in 2006, and 87,295 in 2013.
McLeod was behind the launch of a new era for the league with the advent of an official web site at WCHA.com, the production of a weekly radio show known as
‘This Week in the WCHA’, a decade-by-decade video and narrative chronicle of the men’s WCHA that covered the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, the creation of
an all-new Broadmoor Trophy that is presented to the league playoff champion each year, high quality reproductions of the MacNaughton Cup and Broadmoor Trophy
that go to the championship teams each year, a striking and bold update of the league’s iconic logo and a unique WCHA Style Guide created in 2013 that accentuates the
WCHA brand, its history and championships and is complete with downloadable league and team logos, official colors, and usage guidelines. And now, here in 2013-14,
he was a driving force in the first-ever conference-wide broadband and video streaming initiative with America ONE Sports – a successful development which has enabled
fans around the world to watch men’s league-member home games live and on demand.
McLeod’s tenure has also included a regular connection to the international hockey community, which resulted in overseas trips for WCHA All-Star Teams in 1998 to
WCHA M • Season in Review • 052014
Switzerland for the Kolin Cup and in 1990 to Norway, as well tours of WCHA member
clubs by European-based hockey teams from Sweden, Switzerland, Finland, Norway,
Italy and Latvia. McLeod has also been a regular visitor to the annual IIHF Men’s
World Championship, where he meets up with officials and his many friends within
the international hockey community.
McLeod orchestrated the WCHA’s memorable 50th Anniversary Season celebration in 2000-01, which featured among the many promotions a season-long
announcement of the WCHA Top 50 Players in 50 Years, a commemorative poster
and commemorative merchandise, and a highlight reception and celebration of the
WCHA in Saint Paul during the WCHA Final Five weekend. Among the legends in the
WCHA Top 50 Players in 50 Years are the likes of John Mayasich, Bill ‘Red’ Hay, Keith
Magnuson, Tony Esposito, Bill Masterton, Red Berenson, Brett Hull, Chris Chelios,
Doug Palazzari, Mark Johnson, ‘Huffer’ Christiansen, Bill Nyrop, Tom Kurvers, Ron
Grahame and Greg Johnson.
Ever a proponent of encouraging the growth and expansion of the collegiate
game, McLeod has been instrumental in the addition of new men’s member teams in
Minnesota State University, Mankato in 1999, Bemidji State University and University
of Nebraska Omaha in 2010, and most recently, in the midst of an upheaval of the
collegiate hockey landscape and the loss of eight teams during the summer of 2012,
keeping the WCHA out front as a leader. The league went out and secured six new
teams in University of Alabama Huntsville, University of Alaska Fairbanks, Bowling
Green State University, Ferris State University, Lake Superior State University and
Northern Michigan University, and combined with University of Alaska Anchorage,
Bemidji State, Michigan Technological University and Minnesota State, give the
league a highly-competitive 10-team circuit beginning with the 2013-14 season.
McLeod has always been among a select group of individuals who have had continual impact on the college hockey scene – whether the topic concerns playing rules,
expansion, the national tournament, sponsorships and promotions, professional
ice hockey, or television. He was instrumental in the formation of a new Division 1
college hockey league – College Hockey America – which announced in 2001 that
they would name their championship trophy in his honor. He is a key contributor
to the sport on national, international and professional levels and plays a lead
role in the Hockey Commissioners’ Association. The HCA has been a springboard
of ideas for the six Div. 1 conference’s, having introduced a national rookie of the
year award, the Derek Hines’ Unsung Hero Award, national player and rookie of
the month awards, a XM Satellite radio show, and the formation of College Hockey,
Inc. He also serves on the Board of Directors for both College Hockey Inc., and USA
Hockey, Inc.
“Bruce has been a great colleague, and, more importantly, a mentor and friend,
said Steve Hagwell, ECAC Hockey Commissioner. “From the moment we met back in
the late 1990s to today, Bruce’s passion for the sport and tireless efforts to enhance
the game – not just the league he administers – have been evident. Hockey, not
just college hockey, is losing a true advocate of the sport. It truly is my privilege
and honor to call Bruce my friend.”
In January of 2007, at the passing of longtime colleague and former WCHA
Commissioner Otto Breitenbach, McLeod’s passion could be felt in his words.
“There are really no adequate words to describe what Otto meant to all of us
in the WCHA family as well as throughout athletic circles across the country,” said
McLeod. “Otto touched so many lives in so many positive ways over the years and
so many of us owe so very much to him. Our lasting memories of his qualities as a
father, grandfather, coach, leader and mentor are a fitting tribute to a truly great man.
Three words always come to mind when I think of Otto – quality, class, gentleman.
He has left a noteworthy legacy through everyone that ever had a chance to know
him and we will all miss him dearly.”
McLeod’s on-going efforts on behalf of amateur ice hockey have seen him twice
honored nationally – first with the United States Hockey Hall of Fame’s first-ever
President’s Award in 2003 and second with the American Hockey Coaches’ Association
Jim Fullerton Award in 2004. The President’s Award is presented to an individual
who has made a significant and long-term commitment to the U.S. Hockey Hall of
Fame.
“Being honored with the first President’s Award was unexpected, but I’m very
appreciative”, said McLeod at the time. “When I work with various groups, I don’t
think about recognition such as this. In my many years of working with the United
States Hockey Hall of Fame, the pleasure has truly been mine.”
The Jim Fullerton Award, meanwhile, recognizes an individual who loves the
purity of the sport of ice hockey – whether a coach, administrator, trainer, official,
journalist or simply a fan – and who exemplifies Jim Fullerton, who gave as much
as he received and never stopped caring about the direction in which the game
was heading. McLeod has been involved with the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame’s annual
fund-raising game since it’s inception in 1974, when it was first played in the Eveleth
Hippodrome, and has helped bring the game into ever bigger arenas.
“Through Bruce’s efforts and commitment to help the Hall, we have this wonderful
college hockey game once a year and in many cases our Faceoff Classic has opened
new arenas across the country,” said Jim Findley, Board of Directors and President
of the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame.
What They’re Saying About Bruce McLeod ...
Joe Bertagna, Commissioner, Hockey East Association: “Bruce has become not just
a professional peer but a good friend. While all of us who serve as commissioners have
passion for our jobs, no one has been more emotionally attached to the fortunes of
his conference than Bruce has been to the WCHA. His strong appreciation of history
and tradition is something for which I will always remember him. He has made more
contributions to our game than most people will ever realize or appreciate.”
Dean Blais, Coach, Nebraska Omaha & North Dakota: “Bruce McLeod has been a
friend for over 40 years and has been instrumental in the success of the WCHA at all
levels. His leadership and guidance has provided opportunities for athletes, coaches,
trainers and administrators to excel at the highest level. He will be missed by everyone,
but will enjoy his leisure and freedoms. Thank you Bruce!”
Keith ‘Huffer’ Christiansen, UMD teammate: “Bruce McLeod has been a loyal and
supportive friend to me for over 50 years. I know he has devoted his life to the betterment of college hockey. For Bruce, it was never about any one school or individual,
but solely what is best for the game of hockey. He will truly be missed.”
Rick Comley, Former Coach, Lake Superior State, Northern Michigan, Michigan
State: “In many ways Bruce McLeod has been the best that college hockey has to
offer. Every day his goal was to make the WCHA the best it could be. Coaches and
administrators will miss his friendship and guidance. Best wishes Bruce, and thanks
for all you have done.”
Craig Dahl, Former Coach, St. Cloud State: “Congratulations on your retirement
from a long career of service to the WCHA. You are an example of class, caring, and
integrity. And you always made others feel special. My thanks to you my friend!”
Bob DeGregorio, Commissioner, Atlantic Hockey Association: “Bruce McLeod has
been a catalyst in helping to improve and advance Division 1 Ice Hockey. Over the
years I have had the pleasure of working with him in several capacities and he has
always worked for the betterment of Division 1 Ice Hockey. We have become good
friends through our many hours together attending meetings, the Ice Breaker, the
Frozen Four, etc. He loves dinner in the North End in Boston and the cannoli's from
Mike’s. I wish Bruce a long, healthy and happy retirement.”
Pat Francisco, UMD Hockey Teammate: “I’ve known Bruce since he came to UMD
as a skinny kid from Fort Frances. From that time till now, Bruce has always shown
the ability to positively connect with people and to exhibit enduring loyalty. Bruce
is inclusive and the consummate team player. If one looks back at the measurable
success of the WCHA, one would find these virtues to be at the heart of that success.
That’s his style, that’s his legacy, and in my opinion, it is more rare than it ought to
be in today’s business world. I congratulate Bruce on his success and retirement and
I am proud to call him teammate and friend.”
Ron Grahame, Assistant Vice Chancellor/Senior Associate Athletics Director, University of Denver: “I have known Bruce McLeod for over 30 years and have always viewed
him as a principled individual, dedicated to doing what was best for college hockey
and the sport of ice hockey. He could be counted on to bring all constituents together
toward a common goal while acknowledging the many different perspectives of
each institution and their staff, as well as other conferences. His tireless work as the
Commissioner of the WCHA was instrumental in growing the league to a position of
preeminence throughout the country.”
Steve Hagwell, Commissioner, ECAC Hockey: “Bruce has been a great colleague,
and, more importantly, a mentor and friend. From the moment we met back in the
late 1990s to today, Bruce's passion for the sport and tireless efforts to enhance the
game – not just the league he administers – have been evident. Hockey, not just college
hockey, is losing a true advocate of the sport. It truly is my privilege and honor to call
Bruce my friend. I will miss our interaction, but certainly hope that our paths continue
to cross.”

Norm Jones, Longtime Hockey Television and Radio Broadcaster: “I grew up in
Colorado Springs watching the WCHA and Colorado College. My first media job was
broadcasting CC hockey and then later University of Denver hockey. My point is to
simply focus on the great tradition of WCHA hockey through the years. In my opinion,
there was no one better than Bruce McLeod in maintaining and improving upon the
foundation of the best collegiate hockey league in the country. His development of the
post-season tournament and WCHA Final Five made it the best in the country. What I
most respect about Bruce was his steadfast and determined effort to make certain the
WCHA continued on in the strongest possible manner following the recent shake-up
of the college hockey landscape. I will always value his friendship and support.”
Tom Kurvers, former NHL General Manager, Stanley Cup Winner, Hobey Baker
Memorial Award Winner: “Bruce has been a good friend since we met in Duluth in
1980. His commitment to UMD and the WCHA have helped shape college hockey.
The WCHA tournament became one of the finest hockey events in the world under
his guidance. Bruce is a hockey lifer … and a genuine good guy.”
Walt Kyle, Coach, Northern Michigan: “I have been fortunate to know Bruce
closely for more than 30 years, from his time at Minnesota Duluth, the first era when
Northern Michigan was in the WCHA, and on to him being WCHA Commissioner. His
love and passion for the game of college hockey, and his dedication and commitment
to the sport, have always been at the forefront. His integrity and his leadership, and
the enthusiasm that comes through in every conversation I’ve had with him, have left
no doubt that what he was doing was always in the best interest of the league and
WCHA M • Season in Review • 052014
Here in the 2013-14 season, commitment to the game of college hockey by the
league and its teams continues as strong as ever, and McLeod could not be happier
that the future of the league is bright. Covering a wide and diverse geographical
area of more than 4,100 miles and across five time zones, the 10 men’s and eight
women’s member institutions that make up the WCHA feature the best in both
educational and athletic environments, administrations dedicated to the sport and
the student-athlete, and enthusiastic fans across the board.
“As a group, we’ve had some bumps and bruises and weathered some difficult
times, but the one thing that has remained constant has been our respect of each
other and our collective commitment and effort to do what’s best both for the
WCHA and the game of ice hockey,” said McLeod. “And of that I could not be more
proud.”
Prior to being named WCHA Commissioner, McLeod had over 25 years of service
at his alma mater of Minnesota Duluth, serving as Athletic Director, assistant athletic
director, business manager, and sports information director after graduating in 1969.
One of the people he worked for at UMD and still admires to this day was the late
Ralph Romano, former hockey coach and successful athletic director who was a
major influence in the growth and success of collegiate athletics there. McLeod was
a four-year hockey player for the Bulldogs, producing 81 points in 77 games as a
winger between 1966-69. He ranked second in scoring in the WCHA as a sophomore
and served as UMD’s team captain in 1968-69.
Indeed, the Western Collegiate Hockey Association – and the entire ice hockey
community – owe a debt of gratitude to Bruce McLeod. His tireless efforts in promoting
the game at all levels, ensuring a memorable experience for student-athletes who
play the game, and working diligently to ensure its continued growth and health,
have ensured a legacy that puts him among the legends of the game.
the game. I will always value his friendship and advice.”
Jack Larson, General Manager, Xcel Energy Center: “Bruce McLeod leaves an
incredible legacy as Commissioner of the WCHA. Under Bruce’s leadership the WCHA
became a conference powerhouse, and the WCHA Final Five became the most successful
college hockey tournament in the nation. Bruce is the kind of guy you want to have on
your team; good-natured and good-hearted. His dedication and passion for promoting
collegiate hockey is immeasurable. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner and
we wish him all the best.”
Don Lucia, Coach, Minnesota & Colorado College: “When I arrived at Colorado
College in 1993 and spent the next 20 years coaching in the WCHA, there was no greater
mentor for me than Bruce McLeod. He is someone I have always greatly respected and
nobody gave more to the WCHA as a player and administrator, or cared more about
the league, than Bruce. I want to thank him for all his service to help grow college
hockey during his time and wish him all the best in retirement.”
Joel Maturi, Former Athletic Director, Minnesota: “I have always stated that being
the Commissioner of a one-sport conference is extremely challenging because of the
membership make-up. Bruce McLeod has done an unbelievable job of responding to
the needs of the WCHA membership, whether they be Division I, II or III institutions.
The success of the WCHA on and off the ice is second to none in college hockey. We
have been the envy of all due to Bruce’s ability to add institutions, improve the play-off
system and develop the successful WCHA Final Five. Bruce is respected by his colleagues
for his love of the game, his ability to communicate and his desire to do what is best
for the sport. His imprint on the league and the game are immeasurable. Bruce has
been a colleague, commissioner, confidant and friend. I treasure our relationship and
am thankful that he and his wife, Sande, have been in our lives.”
Dave Ogrean, Executive Director, USA Hockey, Inc.: “Bruce has always had the best
interests of the game at heart,” said Dave Ogrean, executive director of USA Hockey.
“He’s had such a positive impact on the sport overall and in particular at the college
level. We wish him nothing but the best in retirement.”
Doug Palazzari, Executive Director, US Hockey Hall of Fame Museum: “Bruce
has contributed so much to college hockey over the years. His love for the game and
calm demeanor in approaching problems and opportunities will be sorely missed by
everyone. What a great career! Thanks Bruce.”
Bob Peters, Former Coach, Bemidji State & Commissioner, College Hockey America:
“Bruce McLeod has had a profound and positive impact on U.S. collegiate hockey
over his 20-year tenure as Commissioner of the WCHA. His tireless efforts on behalf
of the sport, for both men and women, are legendary. McLeod played a major role
in establishing the WCHA’s women’s league, an excellent display of his foresight. In
addition, his strong guidance is evident in the very successful WCHA Final Five, long
regarded as the most prominent post-season championship tournament in the history
of collegiate hockey. A person of unfailing dedication, he truly ranks as a collegiate
hockey legend.”
Jeff Sauer, Former Coach, Wisconsin & Colorado College: “Bruce McLeod has
both continued and enhanced the long-standing traditions and financial success of
the WCHA in his time as Commissioner. Under his leadership, the Western Collegiate
Hockey Association was – without reservation – the best collegiate hockey conference
in the country.”
Tom Serratore, Coach, Bemidji State: “Bruce McLeod has been a steady presence
in the world of college hockey, helping shape one of the most prestigious college
hockey conferences in the nation. His commitment to the game, its players, fans and
institution members is evident in the great successes of the WCHA and its tremendous
fan following. His vision and integrity will be greatly missed.”
Greg Shepherd, WCHA Supervisor of Officials, College Referee: “For more than 20
years as a colleague and over 30 years as a friend, Bruce McLeod has always been a
person I looked up to. This is a sad day for our sport. We are losing a true mentor. A
person that cares about everyone more then himself; a person that works 365 days a
year to make college hockey the best. I have learned so much from Bruce. How to treat
people, how to deal with upset coaches, and just life in general. Because of him, I am
a better man, a better supervisor and a better person. The WCHA and all of college
will miss him and what he has done.”
Mike Snee, Executive Director, College Hockey, Inc.: “Bruce McLeod has contributed so much to college hockey since his playing career began at Minnesota Duluth
in 1966. It will be hard to imagine him not being commissioner of the WCHA next fall.
I’ve been fortunate to work with Bruce in a variety of roles for nearly 15 years now
and have enjoyed all of it. His love for college hockey is evident the moment you meet
him. Bruce is a true legend of college hockey!”
Rick Yeo, Former Athletic Director, Michigan Tech: “I was honored to have been
the Chair of the Selection Committee when Bruce McLeod was chosen as WCHA
Commissioner. During his tenure, he exhibited the fine qualities that we expected
from him in making our decision. Bruce was considered the leading Commissioner in
NCAA hockey, due to his keen knowledge of the game, tireless efforts to do whatever
was best for the sport, and willingness to communicate with all levels to improve the
game. One of his major accomplishments, I believe, is the growth of the WCHA Final
Five, which brought about capacity attendance and helped league member institutions considerably financially. Bruce was 100% committed to his task and will be a
difficult man to replace. He is a dear friend and I wish him well in his much-deserved
retirement.”

Damon Whitten Named Lake Superior
State’s 10th Head Hockey Coach
SAULT STE. MARIE – After conducting a thorough national search, Lake Superior
State University has named Damon Whitten the 10th head coach in the 48-year
history of Laker hockey.
Whitten was introduced at a press conference Saturday at the Cisler Center and
introduced to media and the public by LSSU Director of Athletics Kris Dunbar, who
headed the search committee.
Dunbar said of Whitten, “Damon brings a strong work ethic and positive energy
to the Laker Hockey Program. We had a lot of very qualified candidates apply for
the position but in the end we felt that Coach Whitten was the one to move the
program forward.”
Whitten has been an assistant coach at Michigan Tech since July, 2010, and has
worked under several coaches who are familiar friends and rivals of LSSU. He is a
2001 graduate of Michigan State University, where he played for hall of fame coach
Ron Mason. After receiving a bachelor’s degree in communication from MSU he
earned a master’s in sports administration in 2005.
Of becoming the head coach of the Lakers Whitten said, “It’s a great honor to be
named head coach of LSSU hockey. Laker hockey has a rich and storied tradition.” He
went on to state, “It will be our responsibility to rebuild this tradition in the manner
that coaching greats such as Rick Comley, Ron Mason, and Jeff Jackson once did.
“Our job will begin immediately to reach out to alumni, fans, recruits, and the
community during our quest to restore Laker hockey. Our family is very excited to
join the Sault Ste Marie community and become part of the Laker hockey family.”
While coaching with Mel Pearson at MTU, he helped the Huskies implement
a new forecheck, neutral zone defense and zone entries. He was responsible for
in-game defensive matchups and academic performance, and assisted with all facets
of practice, game preparation and recruiting. During his first season at MTU (201011), the Huskies enjoyed their best start since 1972, and in 2011-12 they reached
the Western Collegiate Hockey Association Final Five. This season they placed fifth
in the WCHA standings.
Whitten spent two seasons as the director of hockey operations at MSU and
worked under two-time Spencer Penrose national coach of the year Rick Comley.
During that time, his responsibilities included video work, budget management,
travel coordination, and booster and alumni relations. He was also a graduate
assistant coach at MSU in 2003-04.
He assisted Dave Shyiak at Alaska Anchorage during the 2006-07 and 2007-08
seasons and Bill Wilkinson at Wayne State in 2004-05 and 2005-06.
While playing at Michigan State, the Spartans amassed an impressive 122-28-20
record, won three Central Collegiate Hockey Association regular-season titles and
three playoff championships, and made two Frozen Four appearances. Whitten
was an assistant captain of a senior class that owns the Spartans’ all-time highest
win percentage. During his final season, MSU led the nation in goals-against (1.36)
and penalty killing (.911).

Minnesota State Claims First League
Playoff Championship as Mavericks
Claim Broadmoor Trophy at 2014
WCHA Final Five in Grand Rapids
Grand Rapids, Mich. --- 15th-rated Minnesota State downed #4 Ferris State 4-1 to
claim the 2014 Western College Hockey Association Final Five in Grand Rapids, Mich.
The Mavericks captured their first WCHA Final Five title with the win and as a
result earn the league automatic bid to the NCAA postseason tournament.
The Mavericks scored twice in the first period in earning a quick 2-0 lead after
the first period of action. Freshman Mike Huntebrinker chipped a shot over the left
shoulder of C.J. Motte after taking a pass from Zach Lehrke at 9:13 for his second
goal of the season. Then, at 13:50, sophomore center Teddy Blueger found junior
defenseman Brett Stern, who was trailing on a MSU rush into the offensive zone,
and Stern ripped a shot past Motte on the stickside for his first goal of 2013-14.
Ferris State cut Minnesota State’s lead by one when Gerald Mayhew scored on
a scramble in front of the MSU net at the 19:14 mark of the middle period and the
two teams entered the second intermission with the Mavericks owning a 2-1 lead.
Minnesota State entered the final period of regulation with a mark of 17-0-0 when
leading after two periods of action. And when MSU’s third goal of the game came
at the 8:38 mark after sophomore Brett Knowles scored following Teddy Blueger's
nice play in the offensive zone, the championship became reality. Blueger added
an empty-net tally at 19:58 to close out the game.
MSU’s first three goal scorers in the game have now totalled four goals on the
year with Hunterbrinker tallying two and Stern and Knowles both now with one.
Minnesota State freshman goaltender Cole Huggins, who has started 19 of the
last 21 games for the Mavericks, had 25 saves in the win in upping his won-loss
record on the year to 21-7-1.
Huggins was named tournament MVP, and along with Teddy Blueger, sophomore
forward Bryce Gervais and Brett Stern, was named to the all-tournament team.
MSU ran it’s unbeaten streak to 13 games with the win and now stands 26-13-1
on the year. Ferris State, which the Mavericks defeated all three times it faced, falls
to 28-10-3.

Jeff Sauer Leads U.S. Sled Hockey Team
to Gold at 2014 Paralympic Winter
Games in Sochi, Russia
Courtesy of USAHockey.com
SOCHI, Russia – Josh Sweeney (Phoenix, Ariz.) scored the game-winning goal in the
second period, allowing the U.S. Paralympic Sled Hockey Team to skate past Russia,
1-0, in the gold-medal game at the 2014 Paralympic Winter Games.
With the victory, Team USA becomes the first team to win back-to-back gold
medals in the Paralympics. The gold medal is the third for the U.S. since 2002.
“I’ve coached guys in the National Hockey League and guys that have won national
championships, but the chemistry on this team with a 15-year-old and a 35-year
old player is better than any team I’ve ever coached,” said Jeff Sauer, head coach
of the U.S. Paralympic Sled Hockey Team. “There’s a bond there and I love them
like sons.”
The Americans struck for the contest’s only marker at 9:28 of the middle frame
when Sweeney converted after forcing a turnover in the offensive zone. Following
a collision by two Russian players, Sweeney picked up the loose puck just inside
the blue line and streaked in on Russian goaltender Vladimir Kamantcev. Sweeney
deked to his left before sliding the puck back to his right and placing a shot over
Kamantcev’s glove and under the crossbar.
Team USA played a strong defensive game throughout, limiting Russia to just six
shots on goal while killing both Russian power-play opportunities. Goaltender Steve
Cash (Overland, Mo.) came up with a pair of quality saves on dangerous Russian
chances in the final stanza to hold Russia off the board.

University of Alaska forward Cody Kunyk was chosen as Western Collegiate Hockey
Association Player of the Year and the University of Alabama in Huntsville’s Chad
Brears earned WCHA Outstanding-Student Athlete of the Year honors to highlight
2013-14 men’s awards announced by the conference today.
The league’s five other major individual awards went to University of Alaska
defenseman Colton Parayko as WCHA Defensive Player of the Year, Lake Superior
State University forward Alex Globke as WCHA Rookie of the Year, Alaska’s Cody
Kunyk as WCHA Scoring Champion, Minnesota State University’s Cole Huggins as
WCHA M • Season in Review • 052014
WCHA Goaltending Champion, and Bob Daniels of Ferris State University as WCHA
Coach of the Year.
Kunyk (Sherwood Park, AB) finished the regular season of his senior campaign
as the WCHA scoring champion, accruing 34 points on 17 goals and 17 assists in
Alaska’s 28 conference games. In the 34-game regular-season schedule, he scored
a single-season career-high 42 points with a WCHA-high 22 goals to go with 20
assists. Also named to the All-WCHA First Team and to the WCHA All-Academic Team,
Kunyk has recorded five multiple-goal outings this season, including a career-best
four goals in the Nanooks’ victory over Alaska Anchorage on March 7. That mark
was achieved by only three other collegians during the 2013-14 year. He leads the
nation with seven game-winning goals, scored six power-play and two shorthanded
goals and owns a stellar +14 plus/minus rating. Kunyk currently ranks 13th all-time
on the program’s scoring list with 132 points (60g, 72a) in 145 career games.
Brears (Cold Lake, AB), a forward at Alabama Huntsville, was chosen by member
team Faculty Representatives as WCHA Outstanding Student-Athlete of the Year.
Majoring in Mechanical Engineering, Brears has maintained a 4.0 GPA in one of
the institution’s most difficult degree programs and despite the constant demands
of being a student-athlete and the extensive travel involved as a member of the
Chargers’ hockey team. He earned WCHA Scholar-Athlete honors in mid-February,
is a member of the WCHA All-Academic Team, and is one of his team’s leaders both
on and off the ice. He is an enthusiastic participant in mentoring activities with local
school children and an all-around great representative of the ethos of college hockey.
In 35 games played this season, Brears tied for third on the team in points with 10
and was second on the team in goals scored with six. Brears’ on-ice moment of
the year came at Bemidji State on Feb. 28 when he fed a pretty pass to Jack Prince
who scored the game-winning goal for a key road victory over a long-time rival.
The WCHA Outstanding Student-Athlete of the Year Award is determined from
nominations made by the member institutions and each institution then has one
final vote.
The league’s 10 head coaches voted Alaska defenseman Colton Parayko (St.
Albert, AB) as the WCHA Defensive Player of the Year. An All-WCHA First Team
selection as just a sophomore, Parayko finished his second collegiate season as one
of the leading offensive defenseman in the league, ranking tied for third with 18
points (4g, 14a) in the 28-game league slate. In Alaska’s 34 regular-season outings,
he tallied 23 points (4g, 19a) and led all defenders with 19 assists. Defensively, he
is always matched up against the opponents’ top lines and is a leader in ice time.
He blocked a nation’s second-best 2.65 blocks per game (90) and owns a standout
+17 plus/minus rating. Then Nanooks went 13-5-0 when he recorded at least one
point, compared to their 4-8-4 mark when he went without a point. He has had
five multiple-point outings during the season and has scored all four of his goals
on the power-play.
Honored by voters as the WCHA Rookie of the Year for 2013-14 is Lake Superior
State University forward Alex Globke, who also earned All-WCHA Rookie Team
accolades. Globke (Waterford, MI), who produced 31 points (12g, 19a) to lead the
Lakers and played in all 36 games, was one of his club’s most consistent offensive
players. As a freshman among a senior-laden squad, Globke produced points at a
rapid pace. He lead the WCHA in freshman goals, assists, and points. He currently
sits tied for seventh nationally in rookie scoring, while also finishing eighth in
overall conference scoring. Globke also finished tied for sixth in overall assists in
league play. He produced like an experienced veteran and helped anchor one of
the most effective lines in the league with seniors Colin Campbell and Dan Radke.
With center Radke out for two straight weeks and gone from the top line, Globke
added four assists over the four games against conference foes Michigan Tech and
Bemidji State. He has been named conference Rookie of the Week. Globke began
his collegiate career with 15 points in his first 12 games including seven in his first
six.
The WCHA Scoring Champion for 2013-14 is Alaska’s Cody Kunyk while the league
goaltending champion is Minnesota State University rookie Cole Huggins. Huggins
(Centennial, CO), who has three shutouts in his last four games played heading into
the playoffs, owns an overall 17-7-1 won-loss record, a 1.96 goals-against average
and a .922 save percentage. He has started 15 of the last 17 games for the Mavericks, ranks ninth in the nation in goals-against average, 27th in save percentage
and his school-record tying five shutouts on the year is tied for third. Huggins led
the league with a 1.73 goals-against average and .794 winning percentage (he was
17-4-1 in league games), tied for the league lead with a .927 save percentage and
was named WCHA Rookie of the Week following MSU’s games with Bowling Green
(Nov. 15-16) and WCHA Defensive Player of the Week after the Mavericks earned a
league road sweep at Lake Superior State (Feb. 28-March 1). He had a career-high
33 saves in 1-0 shutout victory vs. Bowling Green Nov. 9.
Chosen as the WCHA Coach of the Year is Bob Daniels of Ferris State University,
who led the Bulldogs to the regular season title as first-year league members. In
the midst of his 22nd season at the helm and a two-time National Coach of the Year
Award recipient, Daniels led the Bulldogs to their second conference championship
in the last three years as FSU became only the third program ever to win both the
WCHA and the former Central Collegiate Hockey Association titles. The Bulldogs
led the league race from wire-to-wire in claiming the fabled MacNaughton Cup and
securing the number one seed for the league playoffs. During the 2013-14 season,
the Bulldogs established a new school record under Daniels with a nation-leading

State did not drop a conference game until the middle of January and the Bulldogs

weeks, went unbeaten at home (13-0-1) in conference action and posted its sixthstraight season with increased home attendance. This season’s average of 2,141
fans per game was its best in 32 years. Additionally, Ferris State is also presently

Ferris State Captures 2013-14 WCHA
Championship, MacNaughton Cup
Bulldogs Mark Second Conference Title in Last
Three Years
Big Rapids, Mich. – For the second time in three years, the Ferris State University
men's ice hockey team has claimed a conference regular-season championship.
The Bulldogs posted a 2-1 triumph over Lake Superior State in the regular-season
finale on Saturday (March 8) evening before an announced crowd of 2,551 fans
inside the Ewigleben Ice Arena to claim the Western Collegiate Hockey Association
(WCHA) regular season crown.
The victory came on “Senior Night” as the Bulldogs honored five seniors in captain
Scott Czarnowczan along with forwards Justin DeMartino, Andy Huff, Cory Kane
and Garrett Thompson prior to their final collegiate regular-season home game.
The senior class provided the early spark and accounted for all of FSU's scoring in
helping the Bulldogs to the win.
Senior Garrett Thompson struck early in the opening stanza for the Bulldogs
with his 15th goal of the year only 1:03 into the game off a feed from fellow senior
captain Scott Czarnowczan. That helped set the tone for the night as the Bulldogs
took the early 1-0 lead. Thompson’s marker came on a whistler to the glove side
from the right circle on an early 4-on-3 Bulldog power-play.
Czarnowczan then found the back of the net himself for the Bulldogs’ second
goal less than a minute later at 1:54 of the opening frame off an assist from senior
forward Justin DeMartino. The goal was Czarnowczan’s fifth of the year and proved
to be the eventual game-winner on a shot that went five-hole across the goal line.
However, Lake Superior State trimmed the margin to 2-1 only :29 seconds into
the second stanza on Colin Campbell’s 14th goal this season in unassisted fashion,
but the Lakers could get no closer as the Bulldogs shut the door.
LSSU entered the contest needing a win to reach the league’s postseason
tournament while the Bulldogs were playing for a league crown. With the win, the
Bulldogs moved in front of Minnesota State in the league standings and claimed
the outright crown after the Mavericks battled to a tie with Michigan Tech.
FSU finished the season with 42 league points to only 41 for the Mavericks en
route to the MacNaughton Cup.
Czarnowczan picked up the game’s first star by virtue of his two-point night while
Thompson claimed the second star and junior goaltender CJ Motte was the third
star of the night. Motte made 24 saves in moving to 24-7-3 on the season.
Ferris State held a 31-25 edge in total shots and the Bulldogs finished one-ofthree on the power-play for the game while holding LSSU off the board in three
tries with the man-advantage. Both teams were called for four penalties totaling
eight minutes in the box.
With the victory, the Bulldogs moved to 25-9-3 overall this season and finished
with a 20-6-2 league record. The 25 total wins to date represent the fourth-most
in a single season in school history.
On a night in which the Bulldogs honored and recognized its five-member senior
class, FSU recorded its 85th win over the last four years. The total for this year’s
senior class represents the best four-year stretch in school history.

MTU’s Reid Sturos Named HCA National
Rookie of the Month for February
Nebraska Omaha’s Josh Archibald Tabbed as HCA National
Player of the Month
WAKEFIELD, Mass. – Nebraska Omaha junior forward Josh Archibald, who led the
entire NCAA with both 10 goals and 16 points in February, has been named the
Hockey Commissioners’ Association National Player of the Month for February. He
scored three more goals and tallied three more points than any other NCAA player
during the month. He also added six assists, while three of his goals came on the
power play and two were game-winners. The Pittsburgh Penguins prospect averaged
2.00 points per game and 1.25 goals per game in February, leading the Mavericks
to a 5-3-0 record in eight games. Archibald tallied six multi-point games during the
month and four multi-goal games, including a hat trick, while posting a +2 rating.
Archibald opened the month with a trio of assists in an NCHC record-setting 8-6
win over St. Cloud State Feb. 1, earning third star of the game honors. The following
Saturday, Feb. 8 at North Dakota, he recorded a natural hat trick, his second hat
trick of the season, and added an assist, while his second goal was the game-winner
rallying UNO for a 6-3 win. He was named the first star of the game for his seasonhigh four-point outing. In his next game, Feb. 14 vs. Denver, the Brainerd, Minn.,
native again scored the game-winning goal as one of his two goals in the 4-2 victory,
again earning first star of the game.
In a split at Western Michigan Feb. 21-22, Archibald recorded a four-point weekend
with a goal and an assist in the win Friday while adding a pair of goals in defeat
Saturday. He earned Bauer NCHC Player of the Week for his efforts. The speedy
winger completed his month with a third straight multi-point game, tallying three
points in a 6-0 shutout of Colorado College Feb. 28 on two goals, including one on
the man advantage, and an assist, garnering first star honors for a third time in
February. His second goal of the game broke the UNO single-season school record
for goals as it was his 28th of the year, which ranks second nationally.
Michigan Tech’s Reid Sturos was named the Hockey Commissioner’s Association
Rookie of the Month after posting 12 total points during February, while helping
MTU to a 5-2-0 record. He scored in six of the seven contests with three multi-point
games,
and his four-point outburst in a 7-4 win vs. rival Northern Michigan included a hat trick.
Sturos, a native of Brighton, Mich., led the Huskies in scoring during the month
of February. On the season, he has seven goals and 13 assists for 20 points in 26
contests.

“The alumni game has been in the works for several years and finally came to
fruition last spring,” says Alaska Nanook Hockey Alumni President, Scott Roselius
(UA ‘81). UAA’s alumni did a great job hosting the inaugural game last year and now
it’s our turn to host. The game is just for fun, but make no mistake, it’s still is UAF
vs UAA.”
Both rosters will be filled with recognizable alumni from the many different
era’s of the UAF/UAA rivarly. Several former Nanooks will travel back to Fairbanks
to partic-ipate in the weekend including; Jared Slyvester (F, ‘06), Kevin Epp (D,
‘97), Paul Burke (G, ’82), Jason Grinivitch (F, ’05), Shawn Jones (G, ’84) and Nathan
Rochleau (F, ’00) to name a few. Nanook Coach Dallas Ferguson and first-year UAA
coach, Matt Thomas, will also participate in the contest.
“The UAF/UAA alumni game is a great addition to our Governor’s Cup weekend,”
stated UA Coach Dallas Ferguson (UAF ‘96). “This is a great opportunity for the fans
to see some old names that they used to cheer on every Friday and Saturday night.
Because of the history of UAF/UAA Governor’s Cup series, and as one of the best
rivalries in college hockey, its only fitting to have our proud alumni participate in
the weekend that they help create.”
The Nanook Alumni will be introduced between the 1st and 2nd periods of the
Saturday night Nanooks vs Seawolves game.
Donations to the UAF Women’s Club Hockey Team will be accepted at the alumni

Play Outdoor Hockey Game in Toledo in
January of 2015
Toledo, OH – Bowling Green State University and Robert Morris University, in
conjunction with the Toledo Walleye, have announced that the two programs will
play an outdoor hockey game Jan. 3, 2015. The programs will play as part of the
Walleye’s Winterfest at Fifth Third Field in Toledo.

presented by ProMedica. The Falcons and Colonials will play Jan. 3 at noon as part
of the event.
“We are thrilled to have this opportunity to participate in Winterfest, an event
that will mean much to Northwest Ohio,” Bowling Green Athletics Director Chris
Kingston said. “For most of our student-athletes and coaches, this will be a once-ina-lifetime opportunity to play collegiate hockey in an outdoor environment. I want
to thank the Toledo Walleye front office for their work in making this a reality.”
“We are very excited to be a part of Winterfest,” said Bowling Green head hockey
coach Chris Bergeron.“We have not had a chance to participate in an outdoor event
so for us to be able to be a part of this, and to remain close to home by playing in
Toledo, is a great opportunity. We have worked with the Toledo Walleye staff in the
past and we know this will be a first-rate event.”
Fifth Third Field, the home of the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens, will be converted
from a baseball field into an outdoor hockey rink. The full-size 200 x 85 rink will
stretch across the infield with the two goals near first and third base. The Toledo
Walleye will play two games on the rink, including a 5:30 pm game on Jan. 3 following the Bowling Green/Robert Morris contest. There will also be youth, high school

WAKEFIELD, Mass. – Ferris State University junior goaltender C.J. Motte, who

Game on Dec. 14 in East Lansing.
On the season, Motte sports a 14-0-3 record and .912 winning percentage, has

12 Former WCHA Players Named to U.S.
Men’s Olympic Hockey Team Roster for
Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – USA Hockey announced today (Jan. 1) the 25 players that will
make up its 2014 U.S. Olympic Men’s Ice Hockey Team here today as part of the
festivities at the 2014 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic. The announcement was
made at Michigan Stadium before a world-record crowd and also broadcast live on
NBC Sports in the United States. Twelve (12) of those players previously competed
for WCHA-member teams.
The roster includes 13 Olympians, a stark contrast to four years ago when the
silver medal-winning 2010 U.S. Olympic Men’s Ice Hockey Team featured just three
players with Olympic experience. Among those selected with an Olympic pedigree
are goaltenders Ryan Miller (East Lansing, Mich./Buffalo Sabres), who was the MVP
of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games hockey tournament and Patrick Kane (Buffalo,
N.Y./Chicago Blackhawks), the reigning Conn Smythe Trophy winner who is currently
second in the NHL scoring race with 23-30=53.
Former Western Collegiate Hockey Association member team players named
to the 2014 U.S. Men’s Olympic Hockey Team roster were: David Backes, F, St.
Louis Blues (Minnesota State Univ.), Justin Faulk, D, Carolina Hurricanes (Univ. of
Minnesota Duluth), Phil Kessel, F, Toronto Maple Leafs (Univ. of Minnesota), Paul
Martin, D, Pittsburgh Penguins (Univ. of Minnesota), Ryan McDonagh, D, New York
Rangers (Univ. of Wisconsin), T.J. Oshie, F, St. Louis Blues (Univ. of North Dakota),
Zach Parise, F, Minnesota Wild (Univ. of North Dakota), Joe Pavelski, F, San Jose
Sharks (Univ. of Wisconsin), Paul Stastny, F, Colorado Avalanche (Univ. of Denver),
Derek Stepan, F, New York Rangers (Univ. of Wisconsin), Ryan Suter, D, Minnesota
Wild (Univ. of Wisconsin) and Blake Wheeler, F, Winnipeg Jets (Univ. of Minnesota).
Also of note, two of Team USA’s assistant coaches played in the WCHA in Tony
Granato (Univ. of Wisconsin) and Todd Richards (Univ. of Minnesota).
“We went through a very thorough process to get to today and could not be
happier with the team we’ve selected,” said David Poile, general manager of the
2014 U.S. Olympic Men's Ice Hockey Team and also the GM and president of hockey
operations for the NHL’s Nashville Predators. “We're fortunate to have probably the
deepest talent pool we've ever had in our country and that made for some very
difficult decisions. In the end, however, we're confident we've selected a group of
WCHA M • Season in Review • 052014
players that puts us in the best position to have success in Sochi.”
“We appreciate the work done by David (Poile) and all those involved in putting
this roster together,” said Dave Ogrean, executive director of USA Hockey. “We
look forward to what will be a great Olympics in Sochi, where hockey will be at the
center of attention.”
Along with Miller and Kane, eight other forwards, two defensemen and one
additional goaltender with Olympic experience punctuate the roster, highlighted
by defenseman Ryan Suter (Madison, Wis./Minnesota Wild), who is logging an
NHL-best 29:40 of ice time per game and was a Norris Trophy finalist last season,
and Jonathan Quick (Milford, Conn./L.A. Kings), who earned the 2012 Conn Smythe
Trophy after helping the L.A. Kings to the Stanley Cup title.
The 25 players selected are, on average, 6-1, 203 pounds and 27 years old.
The selection of the U.S. Olympic Men's Ice Hockey Team is subject to the approval
of the United States Olympic Committee's Game Preparation Division.
Notes: Team USA’s roster includes 14 forwards, eight defensemen and three
goaltenders. Ryan Miller is the oldest player on Team USA at age 33 (Brooks Orpik
is also 33, but two months younger), while Justin Faulk, at 21, is the youngest. The
average age of Team USA by position is 29.7 for goaltenders; 25.9 for defensemen
and 27.0 for forwards. The average age of the 2010 U.S. Olympic Men’s Ice Hockey
Team was 26.5 … U.S. General Manager David Poile established five players as the
leadership group of the 2014 U.S. Olympic Men’s Ice Hockey Team, including David
Backes, Dustin Brown, Ryan Callahan, Zach Parise and Ryan Suter … Team USA’s
captain and alternate captains will be formalized at a later date .... Eight players
from Team USA hail from Minnesota, while five call the state of New York home.

USA, who represent 17 NHL teams, participated in USA Hockey’s Men's National
Team Camp held in August at the Kettler Capitals Iceplex. The New York Rangers
and St. Louis Blues each have three players on Team USA to lead the way … The
U.S. roster includes 15 first-round NHL draft picks, six second-round picks, as well
as one third, fourth, fifth and seventh round choice. Patrick Kane is the highest pick,
as he was taken first overall in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft by the Chicago Blackhawks,
while Joe Pavelski is the lowest pick, taken 205th overall in the seventh round of
the 2003 NHL Entry Draft by the San Jose Sharks … All 25 players have worn the
U.S. sweater in international competition at some level. Cumulatively, U.S. players
have competed in 632 international games and captured 38 medals. A total of 11
players have won gold medals (Howard, Carlson, Faulk, Fowler, Suter, Kane, Kesler,
Kessel, Parise, Stepan, van Riemsdyk) … Ryan Suter has played the most games in
international competition at 64, with Phil Kessel (53 games) and Dustin Brown (52
games) not far behind … Twenty players have U.S. college hockey experience, with
University of Wisconsin leading the way with four players and University of Minnesota
with three players … Nine players have competed for USA Hockey’s National Team
Development Program (Faulk, Fowler, Howard, Kane, Kesler, Kessel, Shattenkirk,
Suter, van Riemsdyk) … Ryan Suter’s father Bob played on the 1980 Miracle on Ice
Team, while his uncle Gary played on the 2002 U.S. Olympic Men’s Ice Hockey Team

WCHA Mourns Passing of Former
University of North Dakota Hockey
Player Chad Johnson
The Western Collegiate Hockey Association and Commissioner Bruce M. McLeod
today extend their deepest sympathies to the family and friends of former conference and University of North Dakota hockey player Chad Johnson, who passed
away on November 18.
“On behalf of the entire WCHA, we would like to pass along our sincere thoughts
and prayers to the Johnson family, to all who were fortunate enough to know him
for the great and gregarious person he was, and to the entire University of North
Dakota family on this tragic loss,” said Commissioner Bruce M. McLeod.
Johnson, who played and earned three varsity letters as a forward for North
Dakota in the 1990-91, 1991-92 and 1992-93 seasons, skated in 95 collegiate games
and contributed 22 points with six goals and 16 assists.
A native of Grand Forks, N.D., Johnson’s brother Steve also played college hockey
for four seasons at North Dakota between 1984 and 1988. After his college days, Chad
went on to play professional hockey for three years and also coached the Lincoln
Stars in the United States Hockey League, putting together a 110-62-12 coaching
record and winning a USHL Western Conference regular season championship in
2011-12.

Mike Richter Award to Honor College
Hockey’s Top Goaltender
Inaugural Award to be Presented During 2014
NCAA Men’s Frozen Four
Let’s Play Hockey and the Herb Brooks Foundation are proud to announce the creation
of the Mike Richter Award to annually honor the most outstanding goaltender in
NCAA men’s hockey. The inaugural award will be presented during the 2014 NCAA
Men’s Frozen Four.
Candidates for the Mike Richter Award will be determined by a vote of all 59
NCAA Division 1 men’s hockey head coaches. The finalists and winner will then be
selected by a selection committee of coaches, scouts and members of the media.
Criteria for the Mike Richter Award:
• Candidates must display outstanding skills on the ice
• Candidates should be in good academic standing at an NCAA college or university
• Consideration should be given to academic achievement and sportsmanship
• Candidates must comply with all NCAA rules; be full-time students at an NCAA
college or university; and complete 50 percent or more of the season
• Consideration should be given to the candidate’s activities in the community
Largely considered one of the top goaltenders of the last 30 years, Mike Richter
played youth hockey in Pennsylvania and New York before heading to the University
of Wisconsin to stop pucks for the Badgers. In two seasons in Madison, Richter was
named the 1986 WCHA Freshman of the Year and earned All-WCHA Second Team
honors in 1987.
After two seasons in the IHL, Richter made his NHL debut in the 1989 Stanley
Cup Playoffs with the New York Rangers. Playing full-time for the Rangers beginning
with the 1990-91 season, he was a finalist for the Vezina Trophy as the league's top
goalie in just his second full season in the NHL.
After splitting goaltending duties with veteran John Vanbiesbrouck for several
seasons, Richter was made the Rangers’ primary starter for the 1993-94 season. He
went on to post a career-best 42 wins and 2.57 goals-against average that year as
the Rangers won the Presidents’ Trophy as the league’s top regular-season team. In
the playoffs, Richter backstopped New York to the Stanley Cup Finals where Rangers
defeated the Vancouver Canucks in seven games to win their first Stanley Cup since
1940. During the 1994 Stanley Cup Playoffs, he became the eighth goaltender to
post four shutouts in one playoff season.
Consistently ranked one of the world’s best goaltenders, Richter played in 666
games during his 14-year NHL career, all with the Rangers. His 301 wins are more
than any other Rangers goaltender and he was named an NHL All-Star three times
in his career. Richter's jersey (#35) became the third number retired by the Rangers
at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 4, 2004.
Richter was also a standout on the international stage, tending the net for Team
USA for parts of three decades. He is one of just 10 Americans ever to compete in at
least three Olympic Games (1988, 1998, 2002), including in 2002 when he helped
the team capture the silver medal. In addition, he led Team USA to the World Cup
of Hockey championship in 1996 and was named the tournament's MVP. He also
played in two IIHF World Junior Championships (1985-86), three IIHF Men's World
Championships (1986-87, 1993) and the 1991 Canada Cup.
Richter was inducted into the University of Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame in
2005 and the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame in 2008.
“I am incredibly honored to have this award named after me considering all of the
many talented goalies that have played college hockey over the years,” Richter said,
“My time as a student-athlete at Madison was deeply rewarding both personally
and professionally, and I am thrilled to be able to share in this tradition with the
current generation of athletes by having my name associated with an award that
will specifically honor the goaltending position.”
“It's an honor to be associated with the Mike Richter Award,” Herb Brooks
Foundation board member Dan Brooks said. “Like my dad, Mike’s leadership and
work ethic were unparalleled. Both were American heroes. I was fortunate to be
at the last game my dad ever coached. Fittingly, Mike was in the net.”

Minnesota State Nearly Unanimous in
The Bemidji Pioneer WCHA Preseason
Media Poll; But League has Parity
Mavericks’ Leitner, Stepan Named Player and
Rookie of the Year, Respectively
by Jack Hittinger, The Bemidji Pioneer
BEMIDJI, MN – With six new teams in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association
this season, many predicted more parity in the new-look league.
According to members of the WCHA media, that prediction should hold true
– although most think Minnesota State will finish on top a year after a fantastic
season and an NCAA tournament appearance.
The Bemidji Pioneer WCHA Preseason Media Poll shows the Mavericks as a
near-unanimous choice to win the league, garnering 22-first place votes. A panel
of 25 members of the WCHA media voted on a predicted order of finish, as well as
individual awards.
Despite nearly everyone in the media selecting MSU to take first in the league,
the disparity between the Mavericks (who earned 244 total points) and the second
place team was just 26 points.
Ferris State earned two first place votes and 218 points for a solid second place
finish. Alaska was picked to finish third with 168 points.
The teams in the middle of the pack were separated by 12 points. Bowling
Green (149 points) was picked to finish fourth, followed by Michigan Tech (144) and
Northern Michigan (137). Lake Superior State (117) was chosen to finish seventh,
Bemidji State eighth (108) and Alaska Anchorage ninth (54). Alabama Huntsville,
who was an independent last season, was picked to finish 10th out of 10 teams
with 36 points.
The media also selected the league’s Preseason Player and Rookie of the Year
as well as an All-WCHA team. Minnesota State swept the Player and Rookie of the
Year awards. MSU forward Matt Leitner was the league media’s near-unanimous
pick for preseason Player of the Year while Mavericks’ forward Zach Stepan was
the media’s pick for preseason Rookie of the Year.
Leitner was also named to the All-WCHA team as a forward along with Bowling
Green’s Ryan Carpenter and Michigan Tech’s Alex Petan. Defensemen named to
the All-WCHA team were Minnesota State’s Zach Palmquist and Ferris State’s Jason
Binkley. MSU’s Stephon Williams was voted the goaltender on the All-WCHA team.

September 5, 2014 Minnesota Schools Unveil North Star
College Cup Release Courtesy of UM
MINNEAPOLIS – The University of Minnesota, in conjunction with Bemidji State
University, Minnesota State University, St. Cloud State University, the University of
Minnesota Duluth and Xcel Energy Center, announced the North Star College Cup
on Thursday, giving an official title to the state’s inaugural Division 1 men’s hockey
tournament next year in St. Paul.
After careful deliberation including a fan vote and input from all five of the
state’s Division I men’s hockey coaches and administrations, the North Star College
Cup was selected from a pool of eight finalists nominated by fans via social media.
Borrowing from Minnesota’s moniker of the “North Star State,” the official title
provides a unique and memorable portrait of the state’s deep history and tradition
as a college hockey hotbed.
“When we began discussing this tournament, one of the things we knew we
needed was a tournament name that would instantly catch the attention of college
hockey fans in the state,” Minnesota associate athletic director and men’s hockey
administrator Tom McGinnis said. “We feel that the North Star College Cup accomplishes that, and we are looking forward to a great event at Xcel Energy Center next
January.”
The inaugural North Star College Cup is slated for Friday, January 24 and Saturday,
January 25, 2014 with the Gophers, Minnesota State, St. Cloud State and Minnesota
Duluth set to participate while Bemidji State will be idle in the tournament’s first
year. The event will feature a tournament championship format with two semifinal
games scheduled for Friday (Gophers vs. St. Cloud State and Minnesota State vs.
Minnesota Duluth) and a consolation and championship game to follow on Saturday.
Tournament details including ticketing information will be finalized and announced
at a later date. The University of Minnesota will serve as the event’s permanent
host with three of the other four institutions participating on a rotating basis over
an initial four-year schedule.
The North Star College Cup came to fruition on March 23, 2013 when Minnesota’s five Division 1 men’s hockey programs announced their intentions to maintain
in-state rivalries despite a split in conference alignments. While all five programs
previously competed in the WCHA, 2013-14 marks the first season in which the
Gophers will compete in the Big Ten Conference while St. Cloud State and Minnesota
Duluth will move to the National Collegiate Hockey Conference. Minnesota State
and Bemidji State will continue to compete in the WCHA. The changing landscape
of college hockey provided the impetus for non-conference rivalries between the
five programs, and the North Star College Cup ensures those rivalries will remain
intact.

Historic MacNaughton Cup Awarded to
WCHA Men’s Regular Season Champion
Ferris State Bulldogs Reign as 2013-14 League
Champs in First Season in WCHA
Dating back 100 years to its original purchase in 1913, handcrafted of pure silver,
standing three-feet high, and weighing more than 40 pounds, the MacNaughton
Cup is the shining symbol of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association and of its
long-time standing as one of college hockey’s premier conferences since 1951. It
is college hockey’s oldest and most valuable trophy.
Capturing the MacNaughton Cup as WCHA regular season champions for 2013-14
was first-year conference member Ferris State, led by league coach of the year Bob
Daniels.
The MacNaughton Cup is awarded annually to the winner of the regular season
championship, and as a traveling trophy, is on display throughout the course of
each season at the home of the previous year’s winner. Beginning in 2005-06, the
WCHA also began awarding a smaller silver replica MacNaughton Cup to the regular
season champion(s) each season.
The MacNaughton Cup has traveled a long and winding road since its initial
purchase in 1913 by the Calumet (Michigan) and Hecla Mining Company, but
officially settled into a home with the original WCHA (MCHL/WIHL) in 1951.
In 1913, James MacNaughton, then president of Calumet and Hecla, Inc., and
an avid supporter of amateur ice hockey, authorized the president of the American
Amateur Hockey Association to purchase a cup (he said the price didn’t matter) and
present it to the Association’s championship team at the end of the season. The
first winner was a team from the Cleveland (Ohio) Athletic Club. The MacNaughton
Cup remained with the AAHA until it ceased operations in 1920.
From 1921 to 1950, the Cup was fought for by semi-pro and intermediate hockey
aggregations in Michigan’s Copper Country. In 1951, the cup was donated by Calumet
and Hecla, Inc., through the generosity of Mr. & Mrs. Endicott R. Lovell, to the
newly-founded Midwest Collegiate Hockey League, forerunner of the WCHA. Lovell,
president of the company at that time and the son-in-law of James MacNaughton,
was also a ardent supporter of amateur hockey.
The MCHL chose – in the original spirit – to award the trophy to its regular season
champion. The MacNaughton Cup remained a part of the MCHL/WIHL until the
league disbanded in March of 1958 for one year. In 1959-60, the seven original
teams resumed formal competition under the name Western Collegiate Hockey
Association.
The MacNaughton Cup has gone to the league’s regular season winner on all but
seven occasions since 1951. From 1962-65, the MacNaughton Cup was presented
to the league playoff winner. In 1981-82, 1982-83 and 1983-84, the trophy left the
league with Cup custodian Michigan Tech and was presented to the champion of
the CCHA.

Broadmoor Trophy Awarded to WCHA
Playoff/Final Five Champion
Minnesota State Mavericks Prevail in WCHA
Final Five to Capture First Broadmoor Trophy
The second of the WCHA’s two major championship trophies for men’s competition
is the Broadmoor Trophy, which has been awarded annually since 1985 to the winner
of the conference’s post-season championship tournament.
For 2013-14, Minnesota State reigns as WCHA playoff champion and Broadmoor
Trophy winner for the first time.
The history of the Broadmoor Trophy dates to 1981, when it was first presented
to the conference by the world-renowned Broadmoor Hotel and Resort Complex of
Colorado Springs, Colo. For the first three seasons of its partnership with the WCHA
(1981-1984) – and due to the departure of league member and MacNaughton Cup
(regular season championship trophy) custodian Michigan Tech to the CCHA – the
Broadmoor Trophy was presented to the Association’s regular season champion.
But when the Huskies returned to the WCHA in 1984 – with the MacNaughton Cup
in hand – the Broadmoor Trophy became, and has remained since, the symbol of
the league’s post-season tournament championship.
In March of 2010, in conjunction with the annual WCHA Final Five, the Association
unveiled a striking new Broadmoor Trophy. The new bronze cast trophy, created
by Blue Ribbon Trophies & Awards of Colorado Springs, Colo., is a recreation of
the famous Broadmoor Hotel. Long an ardent supporter of college hockey, the
Broadmoor Hotel included the former Broadmoor World Arena, which hosted the
NCAA Ice Hockey Championship a total of 11 times between 1948 and 1969.
There are a total of three Broadmoor trophies. The largest will be in Grand Rapids
for WCHA Final Five, one is a traveling trophy, and one is awarded to the winning
team each year as a permanent addition to their display case.

WCHA M • Season in Review • 052014
WCHA Team Notebooks • 2013-14 Season Final
Chargers
University of
Alabama in Huntsville
• Alabama Huntsville wrapped up the 2013-14 season the previous weekend with a
2-35-1 record (2-24-1 WCHA), dropping a pair of games to playoff-hopeful Northern
Michigan. UAH lost 4-1 on Friday night before losing 5-2 on Saturday evening. NMU
moved up to the No. 7 seed thanks to those victories.
• The Charger hockey program said goodbye to four seniors, who displayed extreme
dedication, commitment and resiliency over their four-year careers in the blue and
white. Graduating will be Alex Allan, Mat Hagen, CJ Groh and Brice Geoffrion.
• UAH was outscored this season 166-41, or 4.4 to 1.1 per game. They scored 30
of their 41 goals in WCHA play. The team went 0-15-1 at home, winning their only
two games on the road finishing with a 2-19-0 record away from home.
• The 1.08 goals per game ranked last in the WCHA and the 4.37 goals allowed also
was 10th. UAH was also 10th in both power-play percentage (8.8%) and penalty-kill
percentage (70.5%).
• Jack Prince finished with the team lead in points, after he scored two goals last
Saturday against Northern Michigan. Prince’s final line was 8-5=13 after appearing
in 33 game this season. Prince finished with nine points in the final 10 games of
the year, by far the most of any other Charger.
• In terms of games played, the top seven will all return next season. Cody Marooney
served as the team’s ironman as the only player to see ice time in all 38 games.
Fellow-freshmen Regan Soquila and Brent Fletcher each appeared in 37 games.
• The team will return 94% of its point production from this season, with Alex
Allan’s seven points the only missing link. The top four point scorers, and only four
in double digits, are all underclassmen. Prince, Salhany, Koshey and Brears make
up for three sophomores and one freshman.
• UAH will return a pair of talented freshman goaltenders in Matt Larose and
Carmine Guerriero. The pair saw invaluable action this season, combining to appear
in 41 games and over 2000:00 minutes played. Despite only two wins between the
two, they both improved as the season went on, upping both their save percentage
and dropping their goals-against average.
• The program will bring in nine or 10 freshmen again next season, as it attempts to
rebuild in a loaded conference. Head Coach Mike Corbett will return for his second
season as head coach of the Chargers.
Seawolves
University of
Alaska Anchorage
• The Alaska Anchorage Seawolves concluded their 2013-14 season with the
program’s third ever showing at the WCHA Final Five, March 21. The Seawolves
dropped a 5-4 overtime game to the nationally-ranked Ferris State Bulldogs last
Friday in the second semifinal game. The Seawolves had qualified for the WCHA
Final Five two other times – 2004 and 2011.
• The Seawolves advanced to the Final Five following a best-of-three series against
Alaska Fairbanks, March 13-15 where UAA took two of three games. The Nanooks
came back in overtime, March 13, to win 3-2, before UAA won 2-1, 5-4 in regulation,
March 14-15, respectively. UAA and UAF played seven times this season, with UAA
getting a slight edge at 4-3.
• The Seawolves wrapped up the WCHA First Round March 13-15 and are now
8-40 in first round playof action for a combined record of 9-44 in the postseason.
• UAA finished the season with a 18-16-4 record. UAA’s 18 wins was the most since
joining the league and the most since 1992-93 when the Seawolves were a WCHA
affiliate and tallied 18 wins. UAA clinched its first winning season since 1992-93.
UAA’s 12 WCHA wins tied the 2010-11 season, the second most ever for a Seawolf
team. The Seawolves posted a program-best 14 WCHA wins in 1993-94.
• At home, the Seawolves finished 11-3-2 (.75) – UAA’s best home record since
joining the WCHA and the best since 1991-92 when UAA went 17-5-1 (.76).
• On Nov. 9, the Seawolves registered a season-high six goals, including a seasonhigh five power-play goals – one shy of the school record. The four PPGs in the
third period broke the school record; the Seawolves managed three in a period vs
Northern Arizona in 1984 and Notre Dame in 1990.
• UAA is now 2-18-1 in WCHA openers since joining the league in 1993-94, compared
to the program’s 10-0-3 in season openers since 2001. The only UAA wins in WCHA
openers came in 2008-09 and 1994-95. UAA started the season with a 3-1-0 record
– its best since 2011-12 (3-0-1).
• The Seawolves are 5-0-3 in the last eight Kendall Classic games and produced
the program’s first 2-0-0 start since the 1996-97 season. The victory over Air Force
(Oct. 12) gave the Seawolves their own tournament title for the eighth time in 23
tries and marked their first-ever Kendall ‘three-peat’.
• Leading UAA this season was senior F Matt Bailey with his team-leading 20th
goal of the season on March 15. Bailey finished his collegiate career with 94 career
points, good for No. 23 on the all-time UAA list. Bailey also led UAA with 38 points
– good for No. 33 on the all-time UAA single-season list – the most for a Seawolf
since David Vallieres posted 40 in 1995-96. Bailey led all current UAA skaters with
47 career goals, good for a tie at No. 17 on the UAA all-time list with Josh Lunden
(2006-10).
• Tied for second in points among UAA skaters this season were senior F Jordan
Kwas and sophomore F Blake Tatchell with 32 points. Kwas was named the Kendall
Hockey Classic’s MOP and he and junior F Scott Allen tied with a team-high five
power-play goals. Kwas finished with 89 career points – No. 28 on the all-time UAA
list. Tatchell led UAA with a team-high 25 assists. Allen, who missed five games with
an injury, finished with 31 points – bypassing his junior season of 19 points. Allen’s
17 goals this season was also a career high and second on the team.
• Picking up a goal in the Final Five game was junior F Brett Cameron, good for
a career-high 23 points. Cameron’s 10 goals bypass his freshman and sophomore
seasons combined (9). Additionally, the Seawolves received goals at the Final Five
from freshmen Hudson Friesen and Zack Rassell, while junior D Austin Coldwell
produced a goal and an assist. Coldwell led UAA blueliners with 6-13=19 this season.
Dressing between the pipes in the Final Five game were senior G Rob Gunderson
(10-7-2) and senior G Chris Kamal (6-7-1). Kamal’s Dec. 14 shutout vs LSSU gives
him the second most all-time for a Seawolf (5), trailing Doug Teskey’s seven from
1996-99.
WCHA M • Season in Review • 052014
Nanooks
University of Alaska
• Alaska’s 2013-14 season came to an end last Saturday after it fell two games to
one in a WCHA quarterfinals series against Alaska Anchorage. The Nanooks finished
with an 18-15-4 overall record and were third in the WCHA standings at 14-12-2.
• Senior assistant captain Cody Kunyk was named WCHA Player of the Year after

for having a 3.5 cumulative GPA or 3.5 averages in the previous two semesters.
• In the playoff series with rival UAA, the Nanooks jumped out to a 1-0 lead after
claiming game one with a 3-2 overtime win. The Seawolves led 1-0 and 2-1 but
the Nanooks tied it both times with Basara’s power-play goal with 6:06 left forcing
overtime. In the extra period, Basara fed a pass to Beck in the left circle and the
captain sent the puck top shelf over the shoulder of Rob Gunderson for the game
winner 3:40 in to OT.
• In game two, UAA rallied from a 1-0 deficit, scoring twice in :88 seconds in the
second period to lead to a 2-1 win to force a third and deciding game. Parayko put
Alaska up 1-0 with :28.1 seconds left in the first but Matt Bailey tied it 2:59 into the
second. Brad Duwe scored the winner after he collected the puck off a broken-stick
shot, spinning for the score.
• Game three was by far the wildest as the two teams combined for five of the
game’s nine goals in the final period. UAA scored late in the second to go up 3-1
but the Nanooks had a rally forthcoming. Alec Hajdukovich scored 5:04 into the
third and Parayko knotted it up with arguably the team’s best goal of the year, with
a no-look backhand shot that lit the lamp with 9:41 to go. UAA regained the lead
on an Austin Coldwell goal with 6:37 left, but :84 seconds later, Hajdukovich scored
again to make it 4-4. The Seawolves scored the series winner when Duwe received
a pass from Tatchell and he sent it just out of the reach of Cahill’s glove with 2:45
left.

Lake Superior State
University
• Lake Superior State (16-19-1, 12-16-0 WCHA) concluded their season with a pair
of close losses at the hands of MacNaughton Cup-winner Ferris State on March 7-8.
The Lakers capped their first season as members of the Western Collegiate Hockey
Association tied with Bemidji State for eighth in the standings; however the Beavers
received the playoff spot because of a better head-to-head record.
• The Lakers were only able to muster two goals against Ferris State during the
final weekend series while senior goaltender Kevin Kapalka (9-9-1) kept the Lakers
close in the pair of 2-1 losses.
• Senior Colin Campbell (14-15=29) scored the Lakers’ only two goals over the March
7-8 weekend, both coming in the second period. Friday night’s goal was assisted
by another senior, Dan Radke (6-20=26), who also finished up a terrific career for
the Lakers at FSU. Campbell also scored in the second game of the series, this one
also coming in the second period, but this time it was a shorthanded strike that
beat C.J. Motte.
• The Lakers must now say goodbye to eight senior players who have served as
leaders on the ice and on campus. Among them they lose three goaltenders Kapalka,
Kevin Murdock (7-10-0), and Niels Erik-Ravn (0-0-0). They also lose half of their
defensive core with captain Matt Bruneteau (1-3=4, 76 blocked shots), assistant
captain Andrew Perrault (1-7=8, 44 blocked shots), and Zach Sternberg (5-11=16) all
departing. Radke and Campbell make up the two forwards that will also be moving
on.

the Lakers in Free Agent signings. Most notably was Kevin Czuczman (10-11=21)
who gave up his senior season to sign with the New York Islanders and has reported

East Coast Hockey League contracts this past week as well. Bruneteau, the Lakers’
captain this past season signed with the Fort Wayne Komets. Kapalka, who tied for
the highest save percentage in the conference (.927%) signed with the Steelheads
of Idaho.
• With so much roster turnover, the Lakers will also be able to look forward to the
development of a freshman class that produced quality effort this season. The freshmen were headlined by the sensational Alex Globke (12-19=31). Garret Clemment
(3-12=15), Matt Johnson (4-5=9), Ian Miller (5-3=8), Mitchell Nardi (3-3=6), and Gus
Correale (2-2=4) all provided the Lakers with some extra spark and brought energy
to the team.

national leader in blocked shots. He was credited with 101 blocks in 40 games for
an average of more than 2.5 per game.

half of the season to the second. The Huskies were 11-for-110 before the New Year
and 16-for-72 after Jan. 1. It’s 22.2 power-play percentage in the second half of the
season was good for a tie for 14th nationally.

(Oakdale, Minn.), Daniel Holmberg (Nykoping, Sweden), Jacob Johnstone (Grand
Ledge, Mich.), Dennis Rix (Grande Prairie, Alb.), Daniel Sova (Cottage Grove, Minn.)
