The Gophers’ 5-1 win in the opener of the WCHA Final Faceoff puts them into Sunday’s title game, and puts the Bulldogs into “wait and see” mode pending the announcement of the NCAA tournament field on Sunday night.
After 70 years of play, the men’s WCHA announced Friday that it had dissolved effective Thursday, July 1, after a vote taken by the league’s two remaining members.
The Bulldogs men's and women's hockey programs won't take the ice until Nov. 20, at the earliest, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.
UMD's goal in 2019-20 was to not only play in the NCAA tournament but make a run at a national championship during the final go-around of its star-studded senior class. The Bulldogs fell short of those goals, but they weren't the only school that missed out on those dreams.
Gabbie Hughes and Ashton Bell ride point streaks into this weekend's series at Minnesota. All the points they're putting up start on the back end, according to coach Maura Crowell.
