Well, thank you very much and welcome, Husky Hockey fans, from the John McGillus Student Dice Arena.

Dirk Hembrock with you on MIX 93 WKMJ on a Sunday afternoon edition of Michigan Tech Hockey.

This is not what we were dreaming up on our way into this weekend against the Minnesota Golden Gophers, but with the postpone game on Friday night, here we are, ready for a 307 drop of the puck for game two between the Gophers, Andrew Michigan Tech Huskies.

Huskies got a big three to two victory last night here at the Mac where Matthew Van Blericom

was the start of the game.

Two goals and an assist, factoring in on each Michigan Tech tally, including the game winner that he scored 11 minutes and 41 seconds into period number three.

The Huskies never trailed in the game, led 1-0, then led 2-1, and ended up with a 3-2 victory.

Shots were very close.

The Gophers ended up with 31.

The Huskies with 28.

Both teams were 0 for 1 on the power play as the officials were letting the guys play.

Gophers ended up pulling their goaltender, DePasqua, who played very well all game long.

at the end of the game to try to get the equalizer.

The Huskies were able to hold on for the victory.

We'll hear some of the highlights coming up in just a little bit, and we hope to see you here at the game.

3-2 victory last night for Michigan Tech here over the 14th ranked Minnesota Golden Gophers.

Huskies never trailed in the game and were able to hang on at the end.

Shots were really even as we mentioned in the last segment.

31-28 in favor of the Gophers in front of a loud crowd of about 3700 people.

This is what it sounded like.

Yeah,

I didn't see the replay.

That's how that pot got in the high slot where he made no mistake.

Andreessen moving it up the left wing of the wall.

Husky to get it to Roulette.

Roulette across the line but just couldn't hang on cleanly.

Husky got caught on a line change.

Bridgette coming in.

He's on a breakaway shoot!

Stores!

Nice play by Bridgette coming in.

And Bridgette gets the goal.

1-1 score with 18-45 left to go in the second.

The clear back out to center right.

Tide 1-1, 13-43 remaining in the second period.

brought you by Comfort and 3-4 and jumped all the way down.

Mer will pick it up now and send it behind the net.

He was defensive.

He hit down there, loose pucked in the slot.

Picked up by the Huskies.

Here's Johnson with a good score.

He's near the end of the goal.

They both got it, center ice, but he's uncaring about it.

Huskies regain the lead to the 1.

But the center ice tipped all the way down.

It's not that she can tech in.

Miller was slapping around.

The Huskies are out of position right there.

Stolen away by Cohen, sends it towards the goal.

And that one sent wide of the net.

Huskies start the season with a 1-0 record.

We'll have a chance here for the sweep this afternoon against the Gophers.

Gophers will have a lot to say about that.

Huskies will be without one of their captains again today.

And that will be Isaac Gordon, knowing going into the week and he was not going to play.

And of course, the Gophers with one of the best players out as well in Mooney.

Head coach Bill McAlton, his pre-game comments come in your way just a little bit.

You are tuned to Big 93 WKMJ and our Kirkish Furniture Countdown in the Face-off.

The Huskies and the Gophers, the rematch here on a Sunday afternoon.

Back with more after this.

With the cooling nights fast approaching, my thoughts go to the sauna and all of the great sauna supplies we just got in at Swift Hardware.

I also think about the weather stripping and those furnace filters.

Swift has a great selection of both.

Thinking about putting my gardens to bed and putting that winterizer on the lawn too.

And I still have to fill those cracks in the driveway before I get the driveway sealer on.

Swift Hardware has all the fun to get all these fall projects finished.

Here are the other scores from last night.

Michigan completed the sweep over Bowling Green with a 4-3 victory at Slater Family Ice Arena in Ohio.

Falcons had a 2-0 lead going into the second period after McKinley and Minville both scored first period goals.

It was all Michigan in the second field scoring 3 and going into the third with a 3-2 lead.

Tied it up though was Conor Livis on the power play at the 11-16 mark making it a 3-3 score but then

Just less than a minute later at the 12-10 mark, Jaden Perron got the game-winning goal from Michigan, and goal in green is swept by the Wolverines.

Bemidji had an exciting game-winning goal in overtime as they took St.

Cloud State University to an extra period.

Hudson Thornton gets the power play goal in OT at 3-14 mark, and Bemidji State wins it over St.

Cloud by a score of 3-2.

Rappel J up top to Thornton.

And for men, you stay one

St.

Cloud is the next opponent for Michigan Tech next weekend down in Minnesota.

Well, after the Northern Michigan Wildcats shut out Miami on Friday night, Miami turned the tables on Saturday night at the Berry event center, beating the Wildcats by a score of four to one.

Maristin Arne was the only goal scorer for the Wildcats.

That was in the third period on the power play.

Northern Michigan starts their season at one in one.

Lake Superior State defeated Windsor by a score of five to two.

That was an exhibition play.

North Dakota over Augustana in exhibition play.

that was at Ralph Engelsted Arena.

And after Arizona State beat up on Lindenwood Friday night, Lindenwood comes back with a nine goal performance.

They needed almost all of those though because Arizona State ended up with six goals.

Nine to six win for Lindenwood over Arizona State last night to split on that weekend.

Ferris State Bulldogs got an overtime tie with Canisius.

5-5 was the final in that game.

The Bulldogs scored five goals in the second period.

All five of their goals in the second period.

Husky hockey fans it's time for our conversation with head coach Bill McCulloch brought to by Remax Douglas Real Estate as we get set for the finale between the Huskies and the Gophers congratulations again coach that was a nice win last night as we talked after the game two really good teams battling it out and one thing I noticed and I don't know who brought this up last night

Not many turnovers by us, and I know that was a point of emphasis last year to kind of clean that up Is that something that we did pretty well last night and not turn in the puck over?

Yeah, I think that's a real key obviously there's some breakouts we could clean up their first goal we had a tough change and didn't get it 200 feet and Had a couple missed assignments obviously a good individual effort, but that's gonna happen, but we're we're

You know, always focus in the first game of the year is a time and a place and a start to build on.

But puck management is key.

Like when we can get the pucks in and establish our forward check and get into our offensive zone play, that's a good recipe for us.

And

you

told me throughout the preseason camp how Giovanni Morneau

how much ability he has, and obviously you recruited him to Lindenwood and to have him on our team, but to actually see him in the game situation live, I really got a chance to appreciate it.

He finds great spaces to get open, doesn't he coach?

For sure.

And I think he's going to continue to get better and better as he gets more comfortable.

Really, him and Tayden Trambacki created some good offensive chances.

And I know they'll

you know there's more to come from them for sure.

So coach what do you

feel is going to be different tonight as far as this game or do you feel there will be any big differences from Minnesota from us and and what will be the key is again to trying to get a sweep against this team?

Well I think you got two teams trying to play fast and play hard and you know a lot of similarities and play play quick and make plays and and you know I think

We just have to execute our system.

We're going to play connected, play fast, play hard, play disciplined.

The little things matter.

You know, face off, line of scrimmage changes.

execution.

I thought both goaltenders played well.

Just a few things that we can do better, but give credit to both teams.

I mean, they're a really good hockey team.

And so, you know, obviously it's a huge task today, but, you know, the bigger the task, the greater the opportunity and be a huge statement for us.

You know, two new Huskies.

And when Jack Anderson left, we thought, boy, that's a big

hole to fill, Joe Proudy being gone too, but Lucas Breton and Luke Shipley, I thought they really slid in there nicely and played mid-season type of defense.

Yeah, I thought Lucas Brenton was a man last night.

You saw him, you know, just kill plays, a couple of big, big checks, but defensively was so rock solid.

And then, you know, the pinch on our second goal with L.A.

Seanson, Luke Shipley made an unbelievable read, jumped the play, created a turnover.

And obviously, Ellie buried that.

I thought he had an excellent game last night.

Do you make

any significant changes tonight, coach?

I think it's

It's hard to make any changes.

Like I said, I really love the depth.

I want to get everybody in at some point, but I really liked our game.

from top to bottom last night.

So we'll keep the same lineup here as long as everybody stays, feels good, knock on wood.

All right, Coach, thanks a lot.

Appreciate it.

Good luck, and we'll talk to you after the game.

Yeah, my pleasure.

Thanks, Dirk.

693 WKMJ at the Bobbilsen Media Center, and the John McGinnis student, Adriana Dirk-Hemberoff along with former Husky and former Annie Jeller.

Brett Peterson with us here this afternoon for Michigan Tech Hockey on a Sunday.

And let's get to our starters.

They are brought to you by Upward Orthodontics.

First of all, for the Minnesota Golden Gophers, Tanner Ludkey gets the start at center.

The draft pick of the New Jersey Devils.

He'll be centering Austin Bernovic, who was on the left side last night, and Mason Moe.

Back on the blue line for Coach Larson, Axel Lovgren wears number 26, a tremendous hockey player.

And Evan Mer, we know how good he is as well, former Minnesota State Maverick wearing number 10.

He'll be teamed up with Lovgren.

And that is your starting, those are your starting skaters for the Gophers.

For the Michigan Tech Huskies, the Max Costa-Bertie line will start tonight.

Centering Michael Cicek and Connor Roulette.

Connor Roulette played his first game as a Husky last night and played very well.

Back on the blue line for the Huskies, it'll be Tyler Miller starting with Luke Shipley.

We're talking about Luke Shipley and Lucas Brenton, two new Huskies not labeled as freshmen, of course.

One is a sophomore, the other junior, but boy they played very well last night for Michigan Tech Brenton.

And I think the Huskies did fill those holes that they needed to fill when you're talking about a Jack Anerton and Joe Proudy no longer being on your team.

Yeah, those are two enormous vacancies to try to fill.

But Lucas Redd and your coach, McCall, talk about his size and how physical and heavy he plays.

And he filled that role well last night.

And then I thought Luke Shipley also played well.

Pretty big statured man himself.

But he skates well also.

So those are two big question marks that I think we can say maybe got answered last night and I think for the Decor that's a good

sign.

Other line combinations for the Huskies.

Giovanni Morneau will send her Noah Reinhardt, Tate and Trembachy.

Morneau looked comfortable last night.

Brent coming in as a junior and recruited at one point by head coach Bill McCullough.

Yeah, I think you can see there's something in there.

You know, Minnesota's a tough big

fast team.

So as he kind of gets caught up to the speed here, you're going to see some exciting things from the

center.

Delisle, that's Tristan Delisle will center Owen Baker and Elias Jonson.

Jonson had a great goal last night, moved it from the tip of the backhand to his forehand and ripped an NHL style shot past the goaltender.

Yeah, and that

all

started from the pinch from Shipley and on the boards.

And I like how he just

that puck back in the forward and shot.

It wasn't that hard, but right off the post, kind of cut the goalie by surprise.

But when you shoot it that quick, sometimes that's more effective than how hard you can get it

off.

And then, of course, Tom Leppa, Matthew Bamberacom, and Carson Burdy, who, once again, maybe you could say was the best line on the ice last night.

Yeah,

they're listed on the depth chart as a fourth line.

This is not a fourth line.

Their improvement from the second half of last season, they've made another step this year

They were outstanding.

I love how they play together.

They read off each other.

They just play fast.

And now that they have the confidence with that, put it to Ed Blaricom, had a couple goals last night, left book, sister two.

So it's fun to watch their progress here

early in their young career.

Also back on the blue line tonight, Lucas Bredson and Caleb Parker, Reed Andreessen and Luca Fasciano.

The extra forward tonight will be Carson Latimer.

for the Huskies.

Again, our starters, Max Koskopyrty, Michael Cicak and Connor Roulette up front, Luke Shipley and Tyler Miller back on the blue line.

The Gophers, Tanner Ludkey, Austin Bernovic and Mason Moe up front back on the blue line, Evan Merer and Axel Lothgren.

Starting lineups are brought to you by Upward Orthodontics in Houghton.

We'll take a quick 30 second break.

We'll be back with our goaltenders.

No changes in the goaltending.

Why would you change?

Both were very good last night.

Look at the pass quo.

Made some unbelievable.

Right at the doorstep saves when the Huskies were redirecting them.

Ended up getting the loss last night, but certainly was not because of him.

He drops his safe percentage down to 91.3 on the career, but he was really exceptional at times last night his goals against career-wise 2.81 For the Huskies, it'll be Owen Barnaskevich who really played well last night had that one

Got a squib between his legs on that wraparound attempt that he probably won one back But other than that he was outstanding and really stood tall at the end of that game when the Gophers had pulled their goaltender his career numbers are 91.4 on the same percentage of 2.61 goals against average and those were two good goalies last night

Yeah, they sure were you get a sense watching the goaltenders

Veteran players just in complete control back there.

I think for both teams you can sort of bank on good quality goal-tending that helps you in your own defensive zone, obviously, but both were outstanding.

I expect them to be good again tonight.

Let's meet the goalies brought to my Poclos party store in Calumet.

We're about seven and a half minutes away from the drop of the puck here on a Sunday afternoon.

It's been difficult all day here.

Acclimate that this is a Sunday and not a Saturday night.

A

rare Sunday afternoon game.

Maybe playoffs is where last time we would have a Sunday

afternoon game here.

I think you're probably right.

It's been a while.

And we'll be back with much more.

Both teams getting set to come on to the ice.

Glad to have you with us here today.

The Huskies taking on the Gophers.

Michigan Tech with a win last night.

Along with Brent Peterson, Brady Glano down at ice level here.

Brady, a Sunday afternoon hockey.

How are you feeling down there next to the Michigan Tech bench tonight?

Feeling really good, Dirk.

You touched on how the players have routines.

And I'm curious to see if a Sunday afternoon game messes with that for both sides.

Let's see how it's going to

go.

Yeah, routines are big at the college hockey level for sure.

Look, we were talking about the Gophers and just how big they are, watching their starting light-ups.

You know, Evan Rur, I don't know if you're talking about Friday Night Bredger, but it was filled last night, but you know, he's six foot, and he looks tiny out there compared to some of these guys.

Yeah, he is their shortest blue liner, the tallest being Rombok at 6'6", so they've got size and they've got

speed.

Out of town, scoreboard.

Roger by Peterland Distributing not a whole lot of games going on today as you can imagine.

A couple of exhibitions we'll try to keep you updated on as best we can.

Sacred Heart and North Dakota are in exhibition play not against each other but against Canada teams.

But the Huskies tonight trying to get a sweep against Minnesota here as the Michigan kids can players are being announced.

A couple of brothers from Calumet and Blue Cross Blue Shield.

sponsoring the Michigan kids can a big hit here at the John McGinnis students ice arena.

And Mitch's Misfits back here for the Sunday game and a good crowd.

Of course, it was nearly sold out on Friday over 4,000 in the building.

They all had to go home disappointed because the game didn't get played.

And the majority of them are back here tonight from what I understand.

As we mentioned Owen Barnaskevich,

Getting a start against his old team.

Played at Minnesota early in his career, then went to Lindenwood and then here at Michigan Tech.

And the Huskies will be on the road next week and Friday and Saturday night at St.

Claude State University.

Last night's game was such an entertaining, fast-paced and skilled game.

I expect that's going to even bump up a notch here the second night of a two-game series, especially here in Minnesota.

Throw everything they have at tech.

Tech's going to have to be up for the task.

A little bit of a delay here as they will wait.

Everybody got done a little bit early, it looks like, and 20 seconds still left in the pregame clock.

They will not.

Huskies couldn't make it.

That was Roulette.

Huskies will intercept and brought across now by Lepa, but he turned it right back over, and the Gophers now, Zeemar, able to work it up across the line.

Sends it to the other side, right to the front of the net, trying to get it to Wyatt Cullen, who would have had a great opportunity, scoring chats, and...

That one was foiled and back up to center ice comes Leppa.

Tom Leppa crossed the line for the Huskies, puts on the brakes, sends it over.

That one did not get there.

Cleanly a shot there taken by Matthew Van Blericombe who had three points last night, two goals and an assist.

Here's a shot, save made there.

High to pass, well picked up by Whipple, the defenseman.

Whipple, high tails and now over to center ice and the Huskies will stop it at their own blue line, they'll bring it back across, tipped down and a rolling puck will go down inside of the...

Gopher and Michigan Tech making a change on the flies.

The Gophers will do the same thing after dumping it in, wrapped all the way around now.

It's going to be picked up by Trembachy.

Trembachy lost it, able to get it to a teammate that was more known.

He loses it, and the Gophers now bring it back across the line with Nevers.

Jackson Nevers was not in the lineup last night, put in tonight, and back to the point.

Inside of the Michigan Tech zone, controlled by the Gophers, but tipped back out to center ice.

Got

Here come the golfers back across the line down inside the Michigan Tech Zone.

Miller's the last guy back, and they want to be careful.

Nice move by Tyler.

Parker slides it over.

Renton, Renton, towards the net, and a nice cover up there by Goltender.

Good patience.

Try to bring that to the net, but was pinched off.

Reverse course, sent it to the D, and they went D to D for a shot on goal.

Here's that play where Bartoszkevic got caught up behind the net.

He almost bumped into his own defenseman and was using his foot to try to keep it alive.

It squirted right in front of him in the blue paint.

Fortunately for Tech, they had a body there.

No score, 16-09 left to go in the period.

Face-on deep inside of the Gopher's zone.

They'll flip it back out to center-ice after winning the draw.

We've got two face-offs, both won.

Here's a chance now by the Gopher's.

Moe is going to track it down, sends it back, or tried to get it back to Ludkey.

Husky's got a piece of it.

Now a battle down in the corner.

Ludkey has it up top, slides it over for Whipple.

Quick shot through, drop it!

Watch out, it went high into the air, and nobody knew where it was.

And it was tough to tell if that was behind the goaltender or not.

Back across Cheechick, waited too long, but he's able to get up to Mordo.

Mordo walks in, makes a move, Mordo to his backhand, got into the front of the goal, and a good defensive play made there by the Gophers.

Miller now off the center ice.

Tipped all the way down by Michigan Tech.

Between these two teams.

Michigan Tech back behind the net, no score, 13-21 left to go in the first period.

Huskies across the line, here comes Bernie, Bernie with a shot and a save by the pass goal, covers it up with a rebound.

That was a nice break out there by Tech, they took their time, got in their formation and was able to find Bernie coming through the middle here with speed.

Just before that, we're looking at Whipple on the replay, just a quick wrist shot in, deflected off the text defender.

Artis Kevich didn't see it until it hit him right in the shoulder, just inches from finding that top corner.

Face-off down inside of the Minnesota zone, the Huskies will put Van Blericaan to take the draw after a sentiment was relieved of his duties.

Mech out the center ice, it's clear, and let's go down to ice level with Brady Glennle.

Brady.

Yeah, Luca Fasciano, we've talked about his size.

He had a one-on-one battle with another big boy, Javon Moore.

His size and his stick length is so awesome because it allows him to get in the way and disrupt defenses, and he want to go to one-on-one battle there, and he's been doing that his whole career.

Tom Leppa now to take the face-off for Michigan Tech in the offensive zone.

And I'll be Wyatt Cullen, who's on the wing here tonight, but he's taking this draw.

And they're going to take Tom Leppa out of the draw.

So Van Blericombe will have to step in again.

That's twice now.

Lepa's been tossed.

No score here in the first period.

Just about seven minutes gone.

It's been a quick seven minutes.

Very few stoppages.

No, no ice sheet here.

Gophers try to set it in.

Huskies take it away and back up the center ice.

There's Tom Lepa being chased down by Zeamer.

Lepa trying to ward him off.

Centers it.

And the Gophers are going to try to get it clear.

They can't.

Second opportunity though will be skated up to center-ice.

Humphrey's with it.

Just too far for him.

Picked up now by Cullen.

Wyatt Cullen is dangerous.

His shot and a save made there by Goltender Bartoskevic.

Rebound picked up again by Cullen.

He'll get it back to the point.

Rambach sends it over to the corner right to the front of the net.

That was dangerous.

One of the Huskies went down hard.

That was Kalen Parker.

And right now the Gophers are buzzing.

Huskies are out of position.

Controlled.

There's a shot and scooped up there by Goltender Bartoskevic

for a whistle.

With that top line of the gophers, Cullen, Humphries, and Zemer doing what they do.

Watch Wyatt Cullen skate.

Just looks a little different, doesn't he?

Coming down on that left side, got a good shot through, but he's got a little hop almost to his stride.

He never stopped moving.

Bayes off down.

It's not the Michigan Tech Show.

To the left, the Barton Scavige.

That line really had it going on there against the Huskies.

This is Kutank who put out the Max Costa-Gerty line with Mulev and Cicek.

Cicek, a player for the Huskies.

It ended out of the lineup last year.

I think the coaching staff still feels like there's something there that can be an everyday player and he's played well this weekend so far.

Back to the point as the Gophers do win the draw.

No score here in the first career, eight minutes in.

Lock it down, Ludkey.

Ludkey got it to the front and covered up there by Vardiskevic.

And we're starting to see the skill really come out with this Minnesota Golden Goal for team with the 15 NHL draft picks.

Yeah, it's really only a matter of time, right?

They have that much talent on the ice.

They're a team coming together here for the first time with their new coach.

They're going to find their game as

the season progresses.

Face-off in front of Bartoskiewicz again.

No score here in the first period.

12-08 remaining.

Huskies will try to win this one, then up to center-ice.

They do, but it's shot right back in on a delayed offside.

I'll give Tyler Miller a little bit of time behind his net in the trapezoid.

And now he'll wait to set this up.

Five shots from Michigan Tech 3 for the golfers here in the first half of the first period.

And it's going to be offside called against Roulette, I believe.

And go down to Brady Gallato, who's at ice level by the Michigan Tech Vents.

Brady.

Yeah, Dirk, very calm energy from Michigan Tech on the bench here.

Obviously, they know Minnesota is going to come out flying this whole game to respond from last night's loss.

Michigan Tech is calm, cool, and collected right now.

Face-off will be in the neutral zone.

LeBron Moore, playing that left wing, just a fantastic player.

Does things that a guy that size really shouldn't be able to do right, Brent.

Six foot two, lanky.

Lofgren now will skate it up, crossed the line down inside the Michigan Tech zone.

No score here in the first period.

This is Trent Becky, moves it along, Giovanni comes in to pick it up, he'll take a hit, delivers it back off the center ice, Evan Moore's gotta find it.

He does and sends it back up to the wing.

Taken now by Moore, crossed for Lofgren back inside of the Michigan Tech corner.

Battle for the puck down to the left wing corner.

The Michigan Tech zone.

No score here at the John McGatis student.

Nice, Rita.

Bouncing puck gets back to the blue line.

Nicely kicked back in by Nevers.

And back behind it, that big hit there on Andreessen.

Huskies will get the clear up to center ice.

And Trembekki trying to get some separation.

Trembekki coming down, protects the puck.

Hames on to it.

Tried to get it over to the late guy coming in.

And just a tip of the stick there by the defense.

Houses the opportunity here for the Gophers and clubbed down there by Bartoskevic.

What a sequence there by...

Haven Moore come back on Trebecky, break that play up, and Trebecky had one of his teammates lined up for a one-timer.

Moore broke that play up and then started the rush the other way.

Puck eventually found him, but good back check here.

Good stick work.

Then traded offense.

Off

that dangerous defensive play.

Base off will be down in front of Bartoskevich.

Still no score, 10-53 left in the first period.

He'll be brought to you by the Wickley Agency.

Shots five for Michigan Tech four.

For the Gophers.

Boznik will step in to take the draw in the offensive zone for Minnesota.

Born against Dalil, Dalil will win it back and onto Shipley.

Shipley sends it over to his defensive partner right in front of the Michigan Tech goal.

That is Tyler Miller.

Villal across the line.

Villal looking to the far side almost was able to hit Latimer was just out of reach.

He was pretty well defended as well and back out the center.

It is taken by the Gophers, but the Huskies shoot it right back in.

Knocked down there by Goldbender to pass.

Well, off of the board, back out to center ice.

Huskies tipped that out of play.

Will have a stoppage with 10.30 left to go in the period.

If I think you're Carson Latimer though, that's exactly how you want to play.

Went hard to that far post using that great speed.

Just a little in front of him.

But great idea.

Face-off now in the neutral zone here with the John McGinnis student at Icerita.

Dirk Hembromp along with Brent Peterson, Brady Gallardo down at ice level.

Hendricks able to get it across the line.

Quickly taken though by Tyler Miller.

Cooked on the brakes with a little bit of trouble.

Miller with a nice sauce pass off the backhand.

Able to get it up to Shipley.

Shipley's going to get the red light and shoot it in.

That is a heavy play right there by Tyler.

Miller back all the way down.

This will be an icing call against the Gophers.

And Brent, you saw that play.

He was feeling some pressure having to slam on the brakes and the trappers went right behind the

net.

just to have the poise to not just, you know, throw it up past his minger into trouble.

He just had the patience for a nice little touch on it.

That was his deep partner he set up.

Shiply, that allowed him to exit the zone.

That's not easy to do when you got two guys having you lined up for a

big

collision.

Under the 10-minute mark now, but no media time out due to the ice team call against the Gophers.

Max Koskibergi will take the face off.

Interesting formation they brought.

Roulette back to the blue line.

They got three tectas,

three across the blue line.

They did that.

We saw that quite a bit last night, too.

Good win here, though, by the Gophers to get it clear.

And the Huskies will have to manage it out at center ice.

A little bit of a delay, then sent in by Brenton, sent around.

And the Huskies will hold it in.

Picked up though by the goal first set back to the near side wall hustling down as Brenton getting their first though number seven counterpart Hendrick said those two went at it a little bit last night couple of penalties late in the game back out the center eyes and dumped inside the Michigan Tech zone no icing here and so getting down there the gopers will try to get possession and working it down to that corner there is Humphrey's who played well last night here's a chance right to the front of the goal attempted there by Zebra goes back to the point now this line has been causing trouble for the Huskies

Bouncing cock picked up down by Roulette, goes hard off of the boards, does get it clear.

Backhanded down wisely there by Tosca Fiercey to get a line change.

Now Michigan Tech with some new skaters out there.

Begley will bring it up for the Govers across the line.

Seymour with a shot and he just meant to it wide.

Almost hop right back out in front.

He was going for that left side and didn't miss it by much.

Heck up top again.

Begley able to send it over.

Up this with a shot towards the goal, looking for a redirect.

Huskies right now, back up against the ropes.

Here's a chance at the side of the goal, stolen away there by Andresa.

They'll clear it off the glass and will come back out the center ice and it won't go all the way down, so the Huskies won't have to worry about an icing, but the Gophers trying to come right back across.

Van Blericom gets a piece of it, he'll send it down, and the Gophers start from inside of their own zone again.

Lucky, up the center ice.

Takes a hit, loses control of the puck, and picked up now by the defense of Shipley.

A couple of players going down.

The fans hollering a little bit.

And Michigan Tech now will take it from behind their own net.

8-16 left to go in the first period.

There is no score here at the John McGinnis student ice cream.

Huskies across the line, can't handle it cleanly.

That is Morneau working against Mer.

Locker is there.

Morneau comes up at the puck, trying to get it back to

Shippley couldn't do it, but the Huskies somehow able to hold it in, waiting down there as Shrembäki.

He centers it right to the front, and nobody was there for the Huskies in time.

Moreno was in the area.

Here's Shrembäki trying to drag it to the front, shot for the point, plumbed up by Goltender to pass goal, and that brings us to our media timeout.

And there'll be a penalty here.

And we'll wait for the call.

Let's see the replay here.

Trebecky tried to bring that

himself.

That was Trebecky and Lofgren getting it, and Lofgren just gave him one extra shot here at the end.

That's what's going to get called.

I believe that will be it.

We'll see, listen in to the call.

226, two minutes for Ruffin.

No score here at the John McGillus student ice rate.

A power play for the Huskies coming up.
