& Desert Hockey Classic (Prescott Valley, Ariz., Prescott Valley Event Center)

Thursday’s NoTes/Friday seT-up• Two NCHC teams were in action Thursday night, both in tourna-ments, and both came away victorious. Colorado College captured its first in-season tournament title since the 2005 Great Lakes Invitational by topping Cornell, 2-1, in overtime to win the Florida College Hockey Classic. The Tigers are the second NCHC team to win an in-season tour-nament this season, joining Omaha, which took home the Brice Alaska Goal Rush title back on Oct. 14-15. No. 16 Western Michigan could make it three teams on Friday night after downing former CCHA rival Michigan State, 4-1, in the Great Lakes Invitational semifinals at Joe Louis Arena to advance to the championship game against Michigan Tech. Friday marks the third time WMU and MTU have met in the GLI final with the Huskies winning in 2012 and the Broncos winning the GLI outdoors in 2013.• With the two wins Thursday, the NCHC now boasts a combined .632 non-conference winning percentage (37-19-12) this season, which is the best non-conference win percentage among the six NCAA Division I men’s conferences. Two NCHC teams face Hockey East foes Friday while two others play WCHA teams. NCHC teams are 10-9-4 combined against Hockey East foes and 14-3-3 against the WCHA so far this season.• Colorado College won the Florida College Hockey Classic for the first time in two tries at the tournament (2009). All five of CC’s wins this season have now come away from home (5-5-1), while four of the wins have come in non-conference play (4-6-0), though the Tigers have no more non-conference games remaining.• After pitching his first collegiate shutout in Wednesday’s win over Merrimack, Tigers freshman goaltender Alex Leclerc stopped 23 of 24 shots in the title game against Cornell en route to earning tournament MVP honors. He finished the tournament with a .980 save percentage (49 saves on 50 shots faced). He was joined on the All-Tournament Team by junior defenseman Teemu Kivihalme.• CC freshman forward Nick Halloran scored the game-winning goal in overtime, his second game-winner this season. The overtime victory was the Tigers’ first in 10 tries (1-4-5) with their previous overtime win coming back on March 15, 2014 at North Dakota in the NCHC Playoffs.• Western Michigan scored all four of its goals in the win over MSU on the power play, going 4-for-7 on the man advantage. It’s the second time this season the Broncos have notched at least four power play markers, going 6-for-10 in a win over Bowling Green Oct. 15. WMU is now tied for the NCAA lead with 26 power play goals this season (with Omaha) and ranks third nationally in power play percentage at 24.1 percent (26/108).• WMU sophomore forward Matheson Iacopelli scored the Broncos’ final goal of the game, giving him an NCHC-best 14 goals this season, which ties the Blackhawks prospect for second nationally. He had one goal his entire freshman season. He also added an assist Thursday.

Conference games still tied after a five-minute 5-on-5 overtime advance to a five-minute 3-on-3 overtime (and sudden victory shootout if still tied) with the team that wins the second overtime/shootout receiving an extra point in the standings (3/SW in the standings). A 3-on-3 overtime or shootout win then is worth two points in the standings while the team that loses the 3-on-3 overtime/shootout receives just one point for the tie. The 3-on-3 overtime and shootouts only affect conference standings while the game is officially a tie for NCAA purposes.

Thursday round-up/InTer-ConferenCe reCords/World JunIors

Holiday tournament success continued for the National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC) Thursday night as both NCHC teams

in action earned victories. Colorado College won the Florida College Hockey Classic championship with a 2-1 overtime win against host Cornell, while No. 16 Western Michigan downed in-state rival Mich-igan State, 4-1, at the Great Lakes Invitational at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit to advance to Friday’s championship game.

For the first time since 2005, Colorado College won an in-season tournament, capturing the Florida College Hockey Classic title by topping Cornell, 2-1, in overtime Thursday night in the championship game at Germain Arena in Estero, Fla. In a defensive battle, fresh-man forward Nick Halloran scored the game-winning goal 1:02 into overtime to lift the Tigers (5-12-1) to the championship. Senior for-ward Luc Gerdes opened the scoring early in the second stanza with an unassisted short-handed tally, while host Cornell (8-4-1) pulled even on a power play goal in the third period. Shots were 24-23 in favor of the Big Red but CC freshman goalie Alex Leclerc totaled 23 saves en route to tournament MVP honors. The Tigers return to NCHC play next weekend at No. 1/1 Minnesota Duluth Jan. 6-7.

Also taking part in a holiday tournament is No. 16 Western Mich-igan, which will have a chance to capture hardware of its own on Friday night after defeating in-state and former CCHA rival Michi-gan State, 4-1, Thursday night at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit in the second semifinal of the Great Lakes Invitational. The Broncos (9-5-1) scored all four goals on the power play, going 4-for-7 a man up. WMU jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period and made it 3-0 midway through the second stanza before the Spartans (4-10-1) got on the board with a power play marker of their own. Sopho-more forward Matheson Iacopelli then capped the scoring with his NCHC-leading 14th goal of the season late in the middle period to finish with a two-point night. WMU slightly outshot MSU, 31-30, with freshman goalie Ben Blacker making 29 saves to get the win in net for the Broncos. Western Michigan faces WCHA foe Michi-gan Tech in Friday’s championship game at 7 p.m. ET. The game is televised nationally on FOX College Sports Atlantic and regionally on FOX Sports Detroit PLUS.

Three other NCHC teams return to action after the break on Friday as well. No. 2/2 Denver opens a two-game series at Providence, while No. 20 Omaha hosts Lake Superior State for the first of two games with the Mavericks the only NCHC team at home this week-end. Also opening tournament action at the Desert Hockey Classic is No. 18 St. Cloud State, which tangles with UConn at 4 p.m. MT in

Prescott Valley, Ariz. No. 8/8 North Dakota and Miami return to the ice on Saturday. Both Omaha games this weekend are available on NCHC.tv.
