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 con't 2013-14 WCHA Men’s Standings • Final 1 2 3 5 6 7 8 10 Pts Ferris State 42 Minnesota State 41 Alaska 30 Bowling Green 30 Michigan Tech 29 Alaska Anchorage 28 Northern Michigan 27 Bemidji State 24 Lake Superior State 24 Alabama Huntsville 5 Conference Only W L T Win% 20- 6- 2 .750 20- 7- 1 .732 14-12- 2 .536 13-11- 4 .536 12-11- 5 .518 12-12- 4 .500 13-14- 1 .482 10-14- 4 .429 12-16- 0 .429 2-25- 1 .089 GP 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 GF- GA 92- 62 95- 58 97- 77 89- 73 78- 78 74- 77 77- 75 72- 76 70- 84 30-114 GP 43 41 37 39 40 38 38 38 36 38 Overall W L T Win% 29-11- 3 .709 26-14- 1 .646 18-15- 4 .541 18-15- 6 .538 14-19- 7 .438 18-16- 4 .526 15-21- 2 .421 10-21- 7 .355 16-19- 1 .458 2-35- 1 .066 GF- GA 138- 94 130- 95 126-103 119-104 99-108 105-107 102-108 92-118 94-114 41-166 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.

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.

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. WCHA M • Season in Review • 052014 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.

Bruce McLeod and Bill Robertson Robertson meets the media WCHA M • Season in Review • 052014 December 20, 2013/For Release at 2:00 pm CT 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.” con’t on next page 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.” WCHA M • Season in Review • 052014 WCHA Memer Team Home and Away Records • Final Alabama Huntsville: Home Overall 0-15-1.

April 26, 2014 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). 2013-14 WCHA Team-by-Team Against the Rest By Team Alabama Huntsville Alaska Anchorage Alaska Bemidji State Bowling Green Ferris State Lake Superior State Michigan Tech Minnesota State Northern Michigan TOTALS: vs AHA vs B10 vs ECACH vs HEA vs NCHC 0-0-00-2-00-0-0 0-5-00-3-0 1-0-01-1-01-0-0 0-0-01-1-0 2-0-10-0-00-1-0 0-0-01-0-1 0-0-00-2-00-0-0 0-0-00-3-3 1-0-01-1-01-1-2 0-1-00-0-0 1-0-01-0-14-3-0 0-0-00-1-0 2-0-0 0-1-1 2-0-0 0-2-0 0-0-0 0-0-02-2-10-0-0 0-2-00-2-1 2-0-00-2-00-0-0 0-3-00-2-0 0-0-00-2-00-0-0 0-0-02-3-1 9-0-1 5-13-3 8-5-2 0-13-04-15-6 (.950)(.310)(.600) (.000)(.280) Total 0-10-0 4-2-0 3-1-2 0-5-3 3-3-2 6-4-1 4-3-1 2-6-2 2-7-0 2-5-1 26-46-12 (.381) By Site Home Away Neutral TOTALS: vs AHA vs B10 vs ECACH vs HEA vs NCHC 6-0-13-2-03-1-1 0-0-02-4-3 1-0-02-11-23-2-1 0-12-01-5-3 2-0-00-0-12-2-0 0-1-01-6-0 9-0-1 5-13-3 8-5-2 0-13-04-15-6 (.950)(.310)(.600) (.000)(.280) Total 14-7-5 7-30-6 5-9-1 26-46-12 (.381) WCHA M • Season in Review • 052014 Whitten, a native of Brighton, Mich., totaled 35-40=75 in 166 games as a left wing at MSU.

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.

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.

March 13, 201 Alaska’s Cody Kunyk Chosen Player of the Year, Alabama Huntsville’s Chad Brears is Outstanding Student-Athlete of the Year to Highlight WCHA Men’s Award Winners for 2013-14 Nanooks’ Blueliner Colton Parayko Tabbed by Coaches as WCHA Defensive Player of the Year; Lake Superior State’s Alex Globke is WCHA Rookie of the Year; Kunyk is League Scoring Champion, Minnesota State’s Cole Huggins Tops Goaltenders; Bob Daniels of WCH & MacNaughton Champion Ferris State Chosen WCHA Coach of the Year; UAF’s Kunyk and Parayko, UAA’s Matt Bailey, MSU’s Matt Leitner and Zach Palmquist, FSU’s C.J. Motte Chosen to All-WCHA First Team; 145 Student-Athletes Earn WCHA All-Academic Team Honors 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 16-game unbeaten streak, which lasted from late October until early January. Ferris State did not drop a conference game until the middle of January and the Bulldogs finished the regular-season with a first-place 20-6-2 league slate. Under Daniels’ leadership, Ferris State has compiled a nation-leading 25 wins (25-9-3), the fourth most in school history, and the Bulldogs own one of the country’s top marks on home ice with a 14-1-1 record inside the Ewigleben Ice Arena. FSU, ranked as high as second and among the nation’s top 10 teams each of the last 15 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 sixth in the national PairWise and RPI rankings with the Bulldogs eyeing their third overall NCAA Tournament bid, including the second in three seasons following the memorable 2011-12 run to the national championship game at the NCAA Frozen Four.

March 8, 2014 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.

October 3, 2013 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.” WCHA M • Season in Review • 052014 2013-14 WCHA Men’s Pre-Season Polls Septemer 25, 2013 Minnesota State Tabbed as Preseason Favorite in Mankato Free Press WCHA Men's Hockey Preseason Coaches Poll Poll Has Ferris State Second, Michigan Tech Third, Bowling Green Fourth; MSU’s Matt Leitner is WCHA Preseason Player of the Year; Mavericks' Zach Stepan is Preseason Rookie of the Year by Shane Frederick, Mankato Free Press MANKATO, MN – Minnesota State has been tabbed as the favorite to win the MacNaughton Cup, garnering nine of 10 first-place votes in the Mankato Free Press WCHA Men’s Hockey Preseason Coaches Poll.

The 2013-14 Mankato Free Press WCHA Men’s Hockey Preseason Coaches Poll poll was conducted by Shane Frederick, staff writer, The Free Press Media (www. mankatofresspress.com; www.mankatofreepresshockey.blogspot.com; Twitter/ puckato). September 24, 2013 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.

WCHA M • Season in Review • 052014 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.

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.

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. * first round playoff winners; • second round playoff winners; + East and West Regional playoff winners WCHA M • Season in Review • 052014 WCHA Playoff Championship Results • 1959-2014 1959-60 WCHA Playoffs (two games, total goals): Colorado College 2 @ Denver 9; Colorado College 1 @ Denver 3 (DU wins series, 12-3).

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.

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.
