UMD’s Jack Connolly Named WCHA Player of the Year, UND’s Brad Eidsness is WCHA Outstanding Student-Athlete of the Year to Highlight 2011-12 Men’s Individual Award WinnersUW’s Justin Schultz Tabbed as WCHA Defensive Player of the Year for Second Straight Season by Head Coaches; Denver Defenseman Joey LaLeggia is WCHA Rookie of the Year; Michigan Tech’s Mel Pearson Honored as WCHA Coach of the Year; Connolly is Conference Scoring Champion; UM’s Kent Patterson is WCHA Goaltending Champion; Minnesota, Minnesota Duluth Both Place Two on All-WCHA First Team; 149 Student-Athletes Earn All-WCHA Academic Team Honors

MADISON, Wis. – A pair of seniors have earned two of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association’s most prestigious individual awards as announced today (March 8), with forward Jack Connolly of the University of Minnesota Duluth being named WCHA Player of the Year for 2011-12 and Brad Eidsness, a goaltender at the University of North Dakota, selected as WCHA Outstanding Student-Athlete of the Year. The league’s five other major individual awards went to University of Wisconsin defenseman Justin Schultz as WCHA Defensive Player of the Year for the second straight season, University of Denver defenseman Joey LaLeggia as WCHA Rookie of the Year, Connolly as WCHA Scoring Champion, University of Minnesota netminder Kent Patterson as WCHA Goaltending Champion, and to first-year head coach Mel Pearson of Michigan Technological University as WCHA Coach of the Year.

Connolly, who received 48 of the 96 votes in player of the year balloting, also captured the league’s scoring title (conference games only) with 43 points (16g, 27a) while playing in all 28 games for the defending national champion Bulldogs – after finishing second a year ago. Named to the All-WCHA First Team for the second straight season and a two-time WCHA Offensive Player of the Week (Nov. 15, Feb. 14), he averaged a league-best 1.54 points per game, was first in assists, first in power-play points (8-16=24) and had three game-winning goals. A native of Duluth, Minn., Connolly was a finalist for the 2010-11 Hobey Baker Memorial Award, was a first team All-American last season, and is a finalist for this season’s Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award. He is currently second nationally in points with 55 and for his career (through March 8) he has 64 goals, 128 assists and 192 points, which ties him for ninth place on UMD’s all-time career scoring list with 1984 Hobey Baker winner Tom Kurvers. Connolly has also been held pointless for more than two games in a row only twice since the start of his sophomore season – six weeks ago when he was blanked in the Michigan Tech series – which ended his school single-season record 22-game point-scoring streak. He has also played in a school-record 161 consecutive games. North Dakota’s Eidsness, a three-time WCHA Scholar-Athlete, was named the men’s WCHA Outstanding Student-Athlete of the Year in a vote of league member team Faculty Athletic Representatives. Over the course of his four years he has not only stayed on track with progress towards a degree but he has completed both a Bachelor of Business Administration degree and by May will have completed the requirements and be awarded a Master of Business Administration degree. In recognition of his academic efforts, he was awarded an NCAA Elite 88 Award for men’s ice hockey at the 2011 NCAA Frozen Four. Eidsness graduated Magna Cum Laude with a 3.779 cumulative GPA in undergraduate work and has a 3.625 cumulative GPA in graduate school. During this past fall semester, he completed 15 credits of graduate coursework with a term GPA of 3.80 while continuing to perform well for the UND hockey team as a regular goaltender. He has seen action in 14 games this season and sports a 7-3-1 record, a noteable 2.09 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage. Over his career at UND, he has a 57-27-10 won-loss record with a 2.41 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage along with five shutouts. In addition to his stellar work in the classroom and on the ice, Eidsness has been active on campus as a team representative to SAAC and with community service. His contributions include annual food drives, fan fests, Sioux Kids Club events and speaking engagements at a number of different community events. 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 criteria is as follows: 1) must be a senior student-athlete, i.e. one who is finishing his competition as an eligible player in the WCHA; 2) consistently displays outstanding sportsmanship on and off the ice; 3) is a good student making satisfactory progress toward a degree; and 4) is a good hockey player who has performed consistently as a regular member of the team. For the second straight season, the league’s 12 head coaches voted University of Wisconsin blueliner Justin Schultz as the WCHA Defensive Player of the Year. This is only the third time in the history of the award that started in 1991 that a player has won it twice. Colorado College defenseman Eric Rud won the award in both 1995-96 and 1996-97 while Minnesota defenseman Jordan Leopold earned the honor in both 2000-01 and 2001-02. From West Kelowna, B.C., and a first team All-American honoree and Hobey Baker Memorial Award Top 10 Finalist as a sophomore, Schultz also earned All-WCHA First Team honors for the second straight season and he is the third straight Wisconsin player to earn the league’s defensive player of the year


award (Brendan Smith in 2009-10). The nation’s, and the WCHA’s, top point-producing defenseman, Schultz is averaging 1.24 points per game through 34 games this season (15-27=42) and if he stays on top of the UW’s current goal-scoring list for 2011-12, he’ll become the first defenseman in school history to lead the team in goal scoring. A draftee of the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks, he logs 30-35 minutes of ice time per game, leads the Badgers with a +11 plus/minus rating, and has produced almost a point per game over his 118-game collegiate career, with 39 goals, 72 assists and 111 points. Schultz was the league’s defensive player of the week on both Nov. 29 and Jan. 24. Honored as the WCHA Rookie of the Year for 2011-12 was University of Denver freshman defenseman Joey LaLeggia, who was named on 55 ballots, and also earned All-WCHA First Team and All-WCHA Rookie Team accolades. From Burnaby, B.C., LaLeggia has stepped in as a rookie and averaged better than a point per game for the Pioneers, ranking just behind Schultz in scoring overall among league defensemen with 37 points (11g, 26a) in 36 games. He was also the top scoring rookie in WCHA play this season with 8-20=28 in 28 conference games, leads all NCAA rookie defensemen in points, goals and assists, and owns an impressive +16 plus/minus rating. He is tied with teammate Jason Zucker for the team lead with 13 multiple-point games, he was named the HCA (Hockey Commissioners’ Association) National Rookie of the Month for January, and was the WCHA Defensive Player of the Week on Jan. 17. Earning the WCHA goaltending crown for 2011-12 was Minnesota veteran Kent Patterson, who was also voted to the All-WCHA First Team. A senior from Plymouth, Minn., Patterson owned a league-best 2.06 goals-against average while playing in all 28 games and a league-leading 1659:41 of action for the WCHA regular season and MacNaughton Cup-champion Golden Gophers. He also owned a WCHA-best 20 victories (20-8-0, .714) and his .918 conference save percentage ranked third. Patterson,w ho earned three WCHA Defensive Player of the Week awards on Oct. 11, Nov. 1 and Feb. 21, has played in 82 games at UM (through March 8) with a 40-27-9 record, a 2.38 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage over 4,559:54 of action. The WCHA Coach of the Year for 2011-12 is Mel Pearson of Michigan Technological University, who led a resurgent Huskies team to an 11-13-4 league record and 26 points, just two points out of a top six finish and a first round home playoff berth. The most improved team in the WCHA this winter, Pearson left a long and successful tenure as the top assistant coach at CCHA-powerhouse Michigan to take over the MTU program and had the Huskies in contention for a top division finish through the final weekend of the regular season. A former Michigan Tech player, Pearson elevated the Huskies from a 4-30-4 overall record a year ago to a 14-18-4 mark so far this season and lifted them from a 2-24-2 league slate in 2010-11 to a 11-13-4 record in his first year behind the bench. Along the way, MTU posted a 7-5-2 home record in WCHA play, earned sweeps over Wisconsin and Alaska Anchorage, took three of four points from visiting Denver in late October and at defending national champion Minnesota Duluth on Jan. 27-28, and had an impressive WCHA road victory at Minnesota on Dec. 9. Four conference-member teams – Minnesota Duluth, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Denver – are represented on the All-WCHA First Team for 2011-12, with the Bulldogs and Gophers each landing two players.

These outstanding young men and women have gone above and beyond to achieve great success both on and off the ice and their accomplishments are a testimony to the amount of dedication and hard work they put in throughout the school year. Together, they represent their teams and their league in a most impressive way and we could not be more proud of each and every one of them. On behalf of the entire WCHA, We wish them all the success in the world.” The WCHA Scholar-Athlete Award was developed through Association member team Faculty Representatives and approved by the conference membership beginning with the 2005-06 season.

Minnesota DuluthThe University of Minnesota Duluth begins its NCAA national title defense this Saturday night when the Bulldogs open play in the NCAA Northeast Regional … UMD (24-19-6), the region’s No. 2 seed, will square off with the third-seeded Black Bears from the University of Maine (23-13-3) at the DCU Center in Worcester, Mass. while the No. 1-seeded Boston College (29-10-1) and No. 4 Air Force (21-10-7) will clash in the other semifinal Saturday afternoon … The NCAA tournament berth is the eighth-ever for the Bulldogs and third in the past four years … UMD qualified for the NCAA postseason in 2010-11 (when it captured the school’s first NCAA championship), in 2008-09 (quarterfinal round) and in 2003-04 (NCAA Frozen Four semifinals) under current head coach Scott Sandelin as well as in 1992-93 (quarterfinal round), 1984-85 (NCAA Frozen Four third place), 1983-84 (NCAA Frozen Four runnerup) and 1982-83 (quarterfinal round) … UMD has compiled a 13-8-0 lifetime record in the NCAA tournament and 7-2-0 since Sandelin’s arrival … UMD has faced Maine just eight times previously – with the last coming on Dec. 27, 2005 in the opening round of the Florida College Hockey Classic (a 4-1 UMD win) – and never in the postseason … The Bulldogs and Black Bears had four common opponents during the 2011-12 season, including Providence College (UMD was 1-0-1; Maine was 2-1-0), the University of Alabama-Huntsville (both teams were 2-0-0) and the University of North Dakota (UMD was 1-1-0; Maine was 0-1-1) … Lifetime against the Northeast Regional field, UMD is a collective 12-13-1 – 5-3-0 vs Maine, 4-10-1 vs Boston College and 3-0-0 vs Air Force … The Bulldogs, at 24-9-10 overall, have the third best winning percentage (.692) and third fewest losses of any team in the country at the moment … UMD is unbeaten in eight of its last 10 games, going 6-2-2 during that stretch … The Bulldogs have played in back-to-back multiple overtime games for the first time in its 68-year hockey history … UMD nipped Minnesota State, Mankato 3-2 in double overtime on March 10 to clinch its first round WCHA playoff series and and fell 4-3 to Denver in the second sudden death session last Friday afternoon in the WCHA Final Five semifinals … Five of UMD’s last nine games have required overtime … UMD will enter the Northeast Regional sporting the top scoring offense in the country (3.64 goals per night) … Jack Connolly, the first Bulldogs to ever be named a Hobey Baker Memorial Award Top 10 Finalist twice and the first to ever earn All-WCHA first team status three times, currently ranks second in scoring (58 points, one shy of his career-high and three back of fronrunner Spencer Abbott of Maine) and assists (39) … The two-time All-American wrapped up the 2011-12 regular season as the WCHA scoring champion (after finishing second in that race one year ago), racking up 43 points (16g, 27a) in league play … That was six more points than his next closest competitor and highest scoring yield by any player in six years … He became the sixth Bulldog to top the WCHA in points, joining the likes of Junior Lessard (2003-04), Chris Marinucci (1993-94), Derek Plante (1992-93), Bill Watson (1984-85 and 1983-84) and Keith “Huffer” Christiansen (1966-67) … A finalist for the 2011-12 Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award, Connolly has now amassed 65 goals and 130 assists for 196 career points, which are a hefty 32 more than the next closest active NCAA skater (Yale University’s Brian O’Neill) … That places him in the No. 9 spot on UMD’s all-time scoring charts and one point behind the No. 8 occupant, the legendary “Huffer” Christiansen (1963-67) … And talk about consistency: Going back to the end of his freshman season, Connolly has been held pointless for more than one game in a row only twice (on Jan. 27-28, 2012 when he was blanked in both ends of the Michigan Tech series, which terminated his school single-season record 22-game scoring streak, and on Jan. 23 and Jan. 29, 2010) … He’s gone without a goal or an assist only five times this winter and in those five outings the Bulldogs are a mere 1-3-1 … Connolly, the nation’s top returning scorer from a year ago (he finished third in the NCAA with a career-high 59 points), has been a member of All-WCHA Academic Team the past three winters and is just the second two-time All-American the Bulldogs have ever had in their lineup (defenseman

Norm Maciver, in 1985-86, was the other) … In addition, he is the first Bulldog to post back-to-back 50-point seasons since Hobey Baker Memorial Award recipient Chris Marinucci turned the trick in 1993-94 (61) and 1992-93 (77). Connolly, who has skated in a UMD-record 164 consecutive games since joining the Bulldog program, is within striking distance of becoming the first NCAA puckster in five years (University of Michigan’s T.J. Hensick) to reach the 200-point career mark … UMD’s second-place finish in the WCHA standings this season is its best since the 2003-04 season (when the Bulldogs also placed second) … Saving his best hockey for last, alternate team captain Travis Oleksuk currently is tied for fifth among all NCAA skaters in both scoring (a career-high 51 points) and plus/minus rating (+24) and is tied for 16th in goals (21, another personal best) … Last month, the Thunder Bay, Ontario product became the 54th member of UMD’s century club and he now has 45 goals and 68 assists for 113 points in 130 lifetime outings … Oleksuk, a member of the 2011-12 All-WCHA Third Team also has six-game winning goals to his senior-year credit (to rank third nationally) and 15 for his career, which equals the UMD record set by current Bulldog assistant coach Derek Plante (1989-93) … The Bulldogs have now reached – or eclipsed – the 22-victory plateau for the fourth consecutive year (the first time that has happened since the mid-1980s) … 2011-12 All-WCHA Second Team goaltender Kenny Reiter owns the fourth best winning percentage in the country to date (.694 off a 22-8-5 record), is fourth nationally in victories (a career-best 22) and has logged the 7th most minutes of any NCAA puckstopper (2199:48) … Reiter, a four-time WCHA Scholar-Athlete Award recipient who earlier this season set a team record for consecutive shutout minutes (166:45 from Nov. 4-12), is now 51-25-11 for his career with the Bulldogs … That translates into a .649 winning percentage, the second best figure in club history behind All-American Rick Kosti’s .753 mark (60-18-2 between 1983-85) … He also holds a share of the team record (with All-American Alex Stalock, 2006-09) for career shutouts with nine and is fifth all-time in victories … Going back to the start of the 2011 NCAA postseason, Reiter has suffered just seven losses in 37 appearances (24-7-6) … His current career 2.36 goals-against average and .913 saves percentage are the best two marks ever compiled by a Bulldog while his 51 wins rank fourth all-time … The 2011 NCAA East Regional Most Outstanding Player, Reiter backstopped the Bulldogs to their first national title last April while turning in the third best single-season goals-against average (2.30) and saves percentage (.914) in team history … UMD bench boss Scott Sandelin, who spent the past Christmas holidays serving as an assistant coach with the USA coaching staff at the IIHF World Junior Championships, is now 216-209-57 as the Bulldogs’ head coach … That includes an 94-49-21 mark (a .637 winning percentage) since the 2008-09 opener … Right winger J.T. Brown, the reigning Frozen Four Most Outstanding Player and a 2011-12 WCHA first teammer, continues to lead the NCAA in plus-minus rating (+29) and is tied for seventh in goals (a career-high 23) … His 46 points, also a personal best, are bettered by 11 other players in the country at the moment … Brown, who tops UMD in shots on goal this winter with 184 – just under five per night, is the first Bulldog to record two hat tricks in the same season (three goals at Nebraska Omaha on Jan. 13 and four goals at Alaska Anchorage three weeks ago) since MacGregor Sharp did it in 2008-09 … The Bulldogs have scored the fewest shorthanded goals (one) of any WCHA club in 2011-12, but have also given up a league-low two of their own (both at home against Michigan Tech on Jan. 27 and the University of Notre Dame on Oct. 8) … Senior Brady Lamb will carry career-high seven-game scoring streak into Saturday’s clash with Maine … Lamb ranks 10th among all NCAA defenseman with 30 points on nine goals and 21 assists) … UMD continues to sport the highest-scoring senior class in the NCAA … The seven Bulldogs in the group, including goaltender Kenny Reiter (5a) and left winger Cody Danberg, who has been out of action with injuries since the 2011-12 opener, have combined to roll up 55 goals and 116 assists for 171 points … Left winger Caleb Herbert has produced the 10th highest scoring yield (32 points, including 13 goals) of any NCAA rookie to date … The Bulldogs are now unbeaten in 36 of their last 41 overtime games (15-5-21, 2-2-6 in 2011-12) stretching back to the start of the 2008-09 season … Chris Casto, one of 12 Bulldogs who

has taken part in each of the 39 games to date, paces all NCAA rookie defensemen – and is fourth among all of the nation’s freshmen – in plus-minus rating (+21) … In last Friday’s 4-3 double-overtime setback to Denver, junior right winger Mike Seidel scored twice and assisted on UMD’s other goal for the first three-point outing of his collegiate career.

North DakotaNorth Dakota is the No. 1 seed in the NCAA West Regional in St. Paul and will face CCHA Tournament champion Western Michigan in the semifinal on Saturday … It will mark the first-ever postseason meeting between the two teams, and the first matchup overall since the 1997-98 season. UND has won all four games played between the two teams … The Fighting Sioux earned an automatic bid into their 10th straight NCAA tournament after winning their third straight Broadmoor Trophy as WCHA Final Five champions. UND defeated St. Cloud State 4-1 in Friday’s quarterfinal, rallied from a 3-0 deficit to defeat No. 4 Minnesota in Friday’s semifinal, then blanked #9 Denver 4-0 in Saturday’s championship game … Junior goalie Aaron Dell was named tournament most valuable player after going 3-0 with a 1.33 goals against average and a .948 save percentage. He stopped all 22 shots he faced in the final and improved to 8-0 all-time in the WCHA playoffs … Dell was joined on the all-tournament team by defensemen Derek Forbort and Andrew MacWilliam, as well as forwards Mario Lamoureux and Brock Nelson. Forbort led the Sioux in scoring (5 points) and plus/minus (+6) during the tournament … Nelson led all players with four goals, upping his WCHA-leading total to 27 this season … Lamoureux scored twice in Friday’s semifinal win after scoring just once in 38 games prior. The Sioux are now 14-0 all-time when Lamoureux scores a goal … UND’s streak of 10 straight NCAA appearances is the second-longest streak in the nation behind only Michigan’s 22. It is the 26th overall postseason appearance for the Sioux, who have won seven national titles (second only to Michigan’s nine) … The Sioux enter the tournament on a 7-game winning streak that is the second-longest in the nation, behind Boston College’s 15 straight wins … UND is 21-5-2 since Thanksgiving weekend and 16-4-2 since the Christmas break … During head coach Dave Hasktol’s eight-year tenure, UND owns a .711 winning percentage following the Christmas break, compared to a .577 mark prior to Christmas … The Sioux have won 15 straight March games and own an .800 winning percentage in March under Hakstol … Dell is 12-0-0 all-time in March … Freshman forward Mark MacMillan is in the midst of a 6-game point streak, matching the longest by a Sioux this season. MacMillan has three goals and six assists and is a team-leading +9 during that stretch … UND is the No. 1 draw in college hockey this season, averaging 9,991 fans per game (home and away). Wisconsin ranks second at 9,814 … UND boasts the third-highest scoring junior class in the country with 137 points … Senior defenseman Ben Blood has appeared in 140 consecutive games, the longest active streak on the team. Blood and defense partner Derek Forbort have combined for 10 points, a +16 and 25 blocked shots in seven games since the calendar flipped to March … Hakstol is 10-2 all-time in NCAA regional play … UND has gone 41-14 in the playoffs (WCHA and NCAA combined) under Hakstol, 16 more wins than any other school in the WCHA during that time.

2012 Red Baron™ WCHA Final Fiveat Xcel Energy Center, Saint Paul, MN

March 15, 2012/Game 1

Zucker’s Overtime Goal Lifts Denver to 3-2 Victory over MTU in Final Five Tournament Opener

by John Gilbert, for WCHA.comSAINT PAUL, Minn. – As a 20-goal scorer, Denver’s Jason Zucker might have been surprised to find himself wide open at 2:18 of overtime, but when Joey LaLeggia got the puck to him Thursday afternoon, Zucker immediately produced his 21st goal, lifting the Pioneers to a 3-2 victory and bringing a sudden ending to Michigan Tech’s inspired playoff in the first game of the Red Baron™ WCHA Final Five. The victory sends Denver (24-12-4) into Friday’s first semifinal at 2:00 pm against season runner-up Minnesota Duluth (24-8-6). “There was a point when I thought Minnesota Duluth was the best team in the country and would run away with the league title,” said Denver coach George Gwozdecky. “They are the team to beat, not only in this tournament, but the next one.” That would be the NCAA tournament, the target of all six teams at the Final Five. Michigan Tech (16-19-4) had to win the tournament to have a chance, via the automatic berth among the 16 selections. And the Huskies gave it their best shot, gaining a 2-1 lead early on the first shift of the third period and trusting the brilliant play of senior Josh Robinson, who continued to play as well as any goaltender in the WCHA throughout the game. Denver outshot Tech 44-29, but Robinson’s outstanding play, and 41 saves, gave the Huskies a chance. But he had no chance on the tying goal, with 4:32 left, or on Zucker’s game-winner. On that play, Nick Shore tried to get a shot through but it was blocked by congestion in the slot. Defenseman Joe LaLeggia, a freshman, gained possession, and moved toward the right circle to find an opening, while Zucker was off to the left of the net, uncovered. Zucker saw LaLeggia move and said, “He made a great play, and I called for the puck. He put it right on my stick.” Robinson said: “I saw their guy move to the top of the circle, and then I saw the puck go across, so I tried to push over as hard as I could. But he put it in.” Michigan Tech was in legitimate running for a top six home-ice position until the final weekend of regular-season play, when the Huskies lost 5-2 and 2-0 at Colorado College and wound up eighth – one point out of seventh and two out of sixth. Undaunted, Tech stayed out in Colorado Springs and opened the playoffs with a complete reversal, beating Colorado College 3-1 and 4-3 in overtime, to reach the Final Five for the first time in five years. Tech then came to Saint Paul, extending their March-on-the road stretch to 15 days. Denver, which was third, one point behind second-place Minnesota Duluth, was upset by Wisconsin 1-0 and needed to come back to win two games, claiming the decisive third game 3-2 in overtime, to reach Xcel Center. So it was obvious that season records mean nothing in the playoffs, and Michigan Tech proved the point again in Thursday’s opening game of the Final Five. “We had some momentum coming in here,” said Brett Olson, Tech’s captain

from Superior, Wis. “We talked about how we wanted to bring pride back to our program, and I think we did that. I’m proud of our guys, but when you get into overtime, anything can happen.” The Pioneers took an early 1-0 lead, when freshman Ty Loney got to the front of the net to one-time a pass from behind the goal by Drew Shore at 3:50. It was the 10th goal of the season for Loney. Midway through the first period, the Huskies tied the game when freshman defenseman pried the puck loose on the boards and fed ahead for fellow-freshman Blake Pietila, who broke between the Denver defensemen and had a breakaway. At full speed, Pietila gave Juho Olkinuora a deke and shot into the left edge at 10:45. Tech outshot Denver 12-10 in the first, and while the Pioneers came back to outshoot Tech 16-6 in the second period, Robinson was outstanding in holding the score at 1-1, and when the puck dropped for the third period, Tech went on the attack. Jordan Baker fought for possession on the left boards and sent the puck ahead to Ryan Furne, who skated toward the net from a wide angle to the left and snapped a shot that glanced off Olkinuora’s arm and into the short side of the net at 0:18. It was the 10th goal of the season for Furne, a sophomore who grew up the Saint Paul suburb of Oakdale, less than 10 miles from Xcel Energy Center. Tech, in fact, was outshot again during the third period, but had a couple of excellent chances for a third goal. But moments after Olkimuora survived a Tech attack, Denver broke back the other way on a 3-on-2. Drew Shore carried deep up the right side and slid a pass back to the slot to Loney, who quickly relayed it to the left circle, where Luke Salazar put it away at 15:28. “It’s a game of inches,” said Tech’s first-year coach Mel Pearson, who left a long-standing role as assistant and then associate head coach at Michigan to return to lead his alma mater. “We had a chance to make it 3-1, then they come right back and score to tie it up.” After a game of broken plays and not much flow, the tying goal was on a play that couldn’t have been diagrammed more smoothly. “Drew made a good play to get the puck to Ty, and I didn’t know if he was going to shoot or pass,” said Salazar. “When he passed, I just tried to shoot as hard as I could. We’ve been down or tied in the third period a lot in these last few games, so we didn’t want to change our game plan. I was just lucky to be in the right place.” Drew Shore, who assisted on the first two Denver goals and made the play to start the tying goal, said: “He called himself lucky, but after all the big goals he’s scored for us this year, I don’t know if I’ve ever played with anyone who can score as many game-winning goals.” Strong words from the older, junior half of Denver’s Shore Brothers, because Drew Shore has 21 goals and is second in the country with seven game-winners.


Fighting Sioux Find Their Game, Top St. Cloud State 4-1

by John Gilbert, for WCHA.comSAINT PAUL, Minn. – For most of two periods, North Dakota and St. Cloud State battled successfully to defuse each other from making many plays. North Dakota was first to find its game, and the Fighting Sioux prevented St. Cloud State from getting untracked while adding a pair of empty-net goals to win 4-1 in their opening Red Baron™ WCHA Final Five test. Brock Nelson came up with a big goal to break a 1-1 tie, and he scored one of the Fighting Sioux empty-net goals, while his linemates, Corban Knight and Danny Kristo, each added a dose of good luck to score the other North Dakota goals. The fact that the top North Dakota line has become so dangerous -- Nelson has 25 goal, Knight 14, and Kristo 18 – has been a major inspiration for a Sioux team that has risen to 23-13-3, and will face top-seeded Minnesota (26-12-1) in Friday’s second semifinal. “Earlier in the season, up in Alaska, those three guys started to step forward,” said North Dakota coach Dave Hakstol. “They had shown what they could do, but they really started leading our team through the last two-thirds of the season. They allowed other players and other lines to step up too. We’re looking forward to playing Minnesota. We were just happy to advance to the Final Five, because this is the greatest venue ever. The whole town of Saint Paul, and the building, are electric, and now to get a chance to play a rival …”. St. Cloud State (17-17-5) reached the Final Five on the strength of a strong finish behind goaltender Mike Lee. The Huskies took three out of four points on the last regular-season weekend to knock UMD out of a chance to win the WCHA title, then swept two games from Nebraska Omaha in the league playoffs. Aaron Dell won a tense goaltending duel with Lee Friday night, before 15,133 at Xcel Energy Center. In reality, it was a 2-1 game until the two empty-net goals at the finish. “It was an extra hard-fought hockey game with not a ton of plays being made,”

2012 WCHA Playoff Championship Review con’t


said Huskies coach Bob Motzko. “We made a mistake on their second goal, and that made a big difference in the game. Nelson is a big-time shooter, and someone I think we’ll be watching in the NHL for a lot of years, but he was coming down his off-side and we didn’t play him to cut to the middle. He cut to the middle and got a shot away.” Nelson, a sophomore from Warroad, Minn., and the grandson of 1960 U.S. Olympic gold medal star Billy Christian, said: “Ben Blood made a great play to get the puck to me, and Danny [Kristo] forced their defense to back up. I’ve got a great line, with Corban and Danny, and it’s fun to be part of that line.” Modesty is part of Nelson’s makeup, and coach Hakstol said: “He’s deceiving. He gets the puck off his tape so quick, and he can do it in traffic, but he’s very much a complete, two-way player. Tonight was an example, because early in the game we were looking for 50-60-fot passes. Finally, we got back to the basics, making short passes to advance the puck. Brock got a short pass and it turned into his first goal.” The Huskies, meanwhile, never found their rhythm, although Lee was sharp again. He was the victim of a bad bounce at 7:40 of the first period, when Knight carried through the right corner and passed to the goal-mouth from behind the net. The puck hit a defenseman’s stick and the ricochet beat Lee for a 1-0 Fighting Sioux lead. Mark MacMillan and Andrew MacWilliams got assists on the goal, even though it went in off a defenseman. Knight got his first of two penalties later in the first period, and that power play gave the Huskies the chance to tie the game. Ben Hanowski, a junior sniper from Little Falls, MN., blasted in a power play set-up from the corner faceoff circle at 16:14 of the first, for the only goal to elude Aaron Dell from among 30 Huskies shots. The teams traded chances in a close-checking second period, until Nelson cut to the slot and fired his deadly wrist shot into the left edge at 15:51. The Huskies turned up the intensity of their attack as the final period progressed, but Dell prevented anything from crossing the line. Lee ended up on the bench for a sixth attacker through most of the last two minutes, and North Dakota alertly cleared pucks from danger and scored twice into the empty St. Cloud State goal. Brock Nelson scored his second of the game, zooming in to score at 19:00, and when the Huskies tried to press, Taylor Johnson got a five-minute major and disqualification penalty for goaltender interference, so with :27 seconds left, Kristo flipped a shot from center ice into the empty net for a power-play goal to create the misleading 4-1 final.


Denver Loses 3-0 Lead, Trips Minnesota Duluth 4-3 in Second Overtime

by John Gilbert, for WCHA.comSAINT PAUL, Minn. – Zac Larraza is a Denver freshman from Scottsdale, Ariz., whose most prominent role in Friday’s first semifinal at the Red Baron™ WCHA Final Five was to serve a major penalty for Denver teammate Larkin Jacobson. Until the second 20-minute overtime, that is. Then, after both teams had played to exhaustion in the longest game in WCHA playoff history, Larraza got on the Xcel Energy Center ice and scored his first collegiate goal to send the Pioneers into the playoff final with a 4-3 victory over Minnesota Duluth. The play started as a rush by Denver’s fourth line, and freshman center Matt

Tabrum fired a shot from the right side that glanced off the right pipe and out toward the blue line. Defenseman John Ryder shot again. “Ryder threw it at the net and it hit me in the chest,” said Larraza, who let the puck drop in front of him, pulled it to his right as goaltender Kenny Reiter went down, and then flicked a backhander into the open goal. He did it with the poise and certainty that a veteran scorer might have shown. Instead, Larraza was dressed as Denver’s 13th forward – a spare after the four regular lines. “That was the biggest goal I’ve scored,” said Larraza. To say nothing of the only one. “I got about 10 shifts in the game, so I was still fresh at the end.” Officially, the goal came at 8:14 of the second 20-minute overtime, which means it was after 38:14 of sudden-death play, making the game’s duration 98 minutes, 14 seconds, breaking the league playoff record, and leaving 12,804 fans nearly as drained as the players. Another record set in the game was the 67 saves by Denver goaltender Sam Brittain, who withstood UMD’s determined comeback from a 3-0 deficit, which featured the Bulldogs outshooting Denver 70-49. The victory sends Denver (25-12-4) into Saturday’s championship game against the winner of Friday night’s Minnesota-North Dakota second semifinal. UMD goes home 24-9-6, but certain to have a high seed in next week’s NCAA tournament field. “We dug ourselves a hole at the start, but we did a lot of good things in the second half of the game, and it became a helluva hockey game,” said UMD coach Scott Sandelin. “Both teams had a lot of chances and both goalies made some tremendous saves.” UMD, which lost a first-round Final Five game to Bemidji State a year ago, before catching a hot streak that went all the way to the NCAA championship on the same Xcel Energy Center ice, had a first-round bye this time as league runner-up, but all that got the Bulldogs was the challenge of playing catch-up against preseason WCHA favorite Denver, the league’s third-place finisher. As often happens in the Final Five, teams resting with first-game byes don’t always have a big advantage in the semifinals, because during the long season of two-game series, many teams play better in the second game. That theory seemed at work, as Denver, which had to beat Michigan Tech 3-2 in overtime on Thursday to reach Friday’s semifinals, gained the early advantage and built on it during the first period and a half. The Pioneers led 1-0 on Shawn Ostrow’s first-period goal, when the junior center rushed up the left side 2-on-1 and sent a perfect shot into the upper right corner at 8:01. Denver boosted the lead to 3-0 in the second period, when Jason Zucker scored at 3:26, and at 6:02, Ostrow swung out from behind the net and passed across the crease, where Dustin Jackson shot past Kenny Reiter to score as he was being taken down at the right edge. The Bulldogs were increasing their tempo by then, however, and when they got a power-play chance midway through the second period, they cracked Sam Brittain’s shutout bid, as Mike Seidel pulled a rebound away from Brittain and deposited it behind him at 10:57. “That power play turned the tide for them,” said Denver coach George Gwozdecky. “I don’t like to use basketball analogies, but in basketball you hear coaches say they knew the other team would make a run, and in our game, even though we had that 3-0 lead, you knew they were going to make a run.” Jacked up by the goal, the Bulldogs started firing shots from every angle, and closed in at 3-2 on another Seidel goal, at 13:45. Connolly was absorbing some heavy contact while continuing to work the left boards in the DU zone, and he finally chipped the puck to Seidel in the left circle. Seidel glided across the slot and



fired a perfect shot past a screening defenseman and into the upper left corner. UMD went on to outshoot Denver 25-10 in the high-tempo second period, which ended with Seidel swiping a rebound and nearly scoring at the left pipe as the horn sounded. “I thought I had a chance to sneak it in, but the goalie made an unbelievable save with his toe,” Seidel said. The Bulldogs couldn’t get the equalizer until 12:38 of the third period. Defenseman Drew Olson got the puck from Seidel, who was having an impressive day, and Olson moved left to right toward the slot before sending the puck over to Jack Connolly, a left-handed shooting center who was cranked and ready to rip a one-timer into the upper right corner to knot the game 3-3. It was Connolly’s 19th goal, to go with 39 assists for the WCHA regular-season scoring champ, who already is a two-time All-America and is a Hobey Baker Memorial Award finalist. Finishing with a flourish, the Bulldogs outshot Denver 17-7 in the third period, making it 42-17 as they came alive for the second and third periods, and 50-24 for all three periods. “To their credit, they threw everything at the net,” said Brittain, who didn’t play in Thursday’s first game, and who might not play in the final, after his heavy lifting against the Bulldogs. Regulation time ended ominously for the Bulldogs, however. After working feverishly to come back from a 3-0 deficit, they allowed Zucker to burst through for a final chance. As he turned the corner and cut to his right, Zucker had his feet taken out from under him by a diving Chris Casto. Zucker slid harmlessly past the goal-mouth, but Casto went to the penalty box with :1.3 seconds remaining, which gave Denver a power-play overlapping into overtime. Reiter was brilliant in the 20-minute first overtime, but Brittain matched him as the teams, obviously tiring, played with wide-open offense, Denver outshooting UMD 16-15 as both teams went all-out trying to end the game on the next shift. When the first overtime ended without a goal, Denver had a slim 16-15 edge in shots and the teams went to their dressing rooms still 3-3, and with UMD holding a 65-40 shot margin. But in the second overtime, Denver had a 10-4 edge in shots. “Our best hockey was in overtime,” Gwozdecky said. “Whatever it takes; it wouldn’t be fun if it wasn’t exciting.”


Surging Sioux Rally to Stun Golden Gophers 6-3 in WCHA Final Five Semifinal

by John Gilbert, for WCHA.com SAINT PAUL, Minn. – The first semifinal set Red Baron™ WCHA Final Five records for length of time, and saves, but the second semifinal provided an even more remarkable turnabout, as North Dakota spotted top-seeded Minnesota a 3-0 lead, then the Fighting Sioux stormed back for six unanswered goals to stun the Golden Gophers 6-3 in front of an Xcel Energy Center crowd of 16,738. The game was amazingly split exactly in half, as the Gophers led 3-0 at the halfway point, and the Fighting Sioux simply took the game over, gaining momentum with every goal. North Dakota (24-12-3) roars into Saturday night’s WCHA playoff final against Denver, which beat Minnesota Duluth 4-3 in double overtime after blowing a 3-0 lead. It means that this year’s champion will have won three games in three days.

“We’ve had a lot of comebacks,” said Mario Lamoureux, the Sioux captain and third line center, who scored two goals in the third-period onslaught. “But I’ve never been art of a game where it was completely dominated one way, then the other.” As if carrying out the exact opposite of the first game, Minnesota (26-13-1) was rested and ready with the bye, and owned all the plays and the momentum, aided by all three power-plays in the first period, when the Golden Gophers outshot North Dakota 12-2. On the second of those power-plays, Gopher freshman Kyle Rau scored his 17th goal of the season as he hurtled over goaltender Aaron Dell while scoring for a 1-0 lead. In the second period, Erik Haula shot from center point and Jake Hansen deflected it in for another power-play goal, at 5:55, to make it 2-0. And at 10:01 – the midpoint of the middle period – Zach Budish deflected in Justin Holl’s pass from wide to the right of the net, and the Gophers were cruising at 3-0. “We played some of the best hockey we’ve played and jumped off to a 3-0 lead,” said Hansen. “They got one goal, and I think we were scared of losing. We were outshooting them something like 23-8, but after they scored, we played horribly. We went away from our system, and we played really sloppy and they took the momentum. “It went from 3-0 to 3-3, but we’ve got to keep fighting. We just didn’t have it in us tonight. I think we were more shell-shocked than anything.” With 5:31 left in the second period, North Dakota coach Dave Hakstol called a time out. It didn’t seem as though any words could make a difference, because Minnesota seemed to be in complete control. “Nothing special was said,” Hakstol said. “We had tired bodies on the ice, and we had iced the puck, so we couldn’t change. We had absolutely no gas in the tank in the first half of the game.” But from then on, it was all North Dakota. Derek Forbort, a sophomore defenseman for North Dakota, flung a deflected shot from the right point that eluded Gopher goaltender Kent Patterson at 14:51, giving the Sioux their first sign of life, but at 3-1, the third period started with no illusions for the Sioux, who were being outshot 23-11 at that point. Incredibly, North Dakota started rolling in the third period and not only pumped five more goals, but outshot the Gophers 17-2. “We knew we had to regroup,” said Lamoureux. “We just got going, rolled with the momentum, and the game became fun.” There was still some catching up to do. At 5:31 of the third, Michael Parks went to the net and had a pass deflect in off his skate to cut it to 3-2. “I went hard to the net, and the puck bounced off me somewhere,” said Parks. Exactly :30 seconds later, Brock Nelson blocked a high bouncing puck and fired it in to tie the game 3-3. The large contingent of Fighting Sioux fans in the crowd went crazy, and the Sioux poured it on. Patterson in goal for the Gophers was like a young man caught at the base of an avalanche coming down upon him. Lamoureux, who had exactly one goal all season but willingly played his leadership role to the hilt, scored at 9:42 to lift the Fighting Sioux to their first lead of the night at 4-3. Minnesota, which hadn’t drawn a single penalty, got one then, at 9:56, and Corban Knight scored at 10:19, on North Dakota’s only power-play chance, to make it 5-3. Minnesota coach Don Lucia was asked if he considered taking a time out and he said: “I don’t know if it would have done any good.” Lamoureux scored again by rushing up the right side, sending a hard backhand pass across the slot to Mark MacMillan, then going to the net and jamming in the rebound at 16:10. He now has three goals for the season. Goaltender Aaron Dell, who looked helpless in the first half of the game, never allowed another goal, and the Fighting Sioux stormed into the championship game. “We had great energy and a very good first period,” said Lucia. “Congratulations to North Dakota, because we couldn’t get it back going. We’ve been very good in the third period all season – we’ve only allowed 18 goals total in the third period. And we gave up five tonight. We punched, they punched back, and we wilted.”



March 17, 2012/Championship Game

North Dakota Blanks Denver 4-0 to Capture 2012 Red Baron WCHA Final Five, Broadmoor Trophy

by John Gilbert, for WCHA.comSAINT PAUL, Minn. – If it was the last time the North Dakota hockey team ever wears the familiar green jerseys with the stylish Native American warrior on the chest, the Fighting Sioux gave the logo and nickname a proper sendoff Saturday night, before 16,838 observers at Xcel Energy Center – whipping Denver 4-0 in the Red Baron™ WCHA Final Five championship game. North Dakota thus claimed the Broadmoor Trophy for an unprecedented third consecutive time, and gave Aaron Dell an easy shutout for his third victory in three days. The Sioux (25-12-3) ride into next week’s NCAA tournament on the wings of a seven-game winning streak, which started, ironically, after a 5-3 loss that resulted in a split at Denver. They could, in fact, return to Xcel Center as the No. 1 seed of the West Regional, when pairings are announced Sunday. However, wherever they go, it will be clad in new North Dakota jerseys, because the NCAA has decreed that if North Dakota insists on wearing its Fighting Sioux-logo jerseys, or uses the Fighting Sioux nickname, they will forfeit any NCAA victories. North Dakota’s old Fighting Sioux jerseys worked just fine to stop Denver (24-13-4). The Pioneers were outshot 29-22 and unable to muster any sustained offense, while the Fighting Sioux got a goal and an assist from both Carter Rowney and Mark MacMillan, and added power-play goals from Brock Nelson – his fourth in three Final Five games – and Michael Parks. It used to be customary that teams that had to win a play-in game to reach the semifinals would never have enough staying power to win three games in three days, but Minnesota Duluth pulled it off in 2009, and North Dakota won three in 2010. This year, however, was the first in which both finalists were playing for the third time in three days. Denver has had a rougher road, playing the sixth game in nine days. First, the Pioneers had to go three games to beat Wisconsin, losing 1-0 and winning 3-1 and then 3-2 in overtime to get to Xcel Energy Center. After three days of rest, the Pioneers had to go overtime again to beat Michigan Tech 3-2 Thursday, then beat UMD 4-3 in two overtimes Friday in the longest game in Final Five history. If six games in nine days wasn’t enough, they included four overtime periods, the equivalent of another full game, making it more like seven games in nine days. North Dakota beat St. Cloud State 4-1 on Thursday, and though the Sioux seemed tired as they fell behind 3-0 through the first half of its semifinal against Minnesota Friday, before rallying to win 6-3. Maybe there was a positive carryover from scoring six unanswered goals against the Golden Gophers. “We wanted to play a complete game tonight,” said North Dakota coach Dave Hakstol. “We didn’t play complete games either Thursday or Friday, and we wanted to exploit the chance they might be a little more tired, because of how much they’ve had to play. Our energy level was pretty good, and we were plus-one 5-on-5, scored two power-play goals, and one shorthanded.” It appeared that the Pioneers may have finally been overtaken by battle-fatigue, and it didn’t help their manpower when they lost defenseman Josiah Didier to an injury, then offensive star Jason Zucker went out in the third period and was taken to a hospital for an MRI on an “upper body” injury. At one point coach George Gwozdecky said he moved two forwards back to play defense. “I noticed how much quicker we were able to go back and get the puck,”

2012 WCHA Playoff Championship Review con’t Gwozdecky said. “That made me realize how tired we were.” Gwozdecky praised North Dakota for its play, however. “North Dakota was sharp and moved the puck well,” he said. “The way they played last night with their great comeback, and the way they played tonight, I would say they would be a very likely Frozen Four team.” Goaltender Aaron Dell was sharp in his third game in three days, which, he said, he hadn’t done since his junior hockey days in the Alberta league. The Pioneers had the first great scoring chance, but Dell came up with the save when Nate Dewhurst blasted a one-timer from the slot after a feed from behind the net. Later, Dell said that was the toughest save he could remember. “The guys made it pretty easy for me,” he said. Denver went back to goaltender Juho Olkinuora, who won against Tech, after Sam Brittain made a Final Five tournament record 67 stops against UMD. A few seconds after Dell’s big save, Mario Lamoureux wound up to shoot at the other end. Denver freshman Matt Tabrum hooked his stick to prevent a shot, and was called for hooking at 16:25, and North Dakota jumped at the power-play chance. Corban Knight pulled a left-corner faceoff back to Dillon Simpson, who shot from the top of the circle. The blocked shot popped up into Brock Nelson’s body, and he let the puck drop, then scored his 27th goal of a sterling sophomore season into the Denver net at 17:43. “Knighter made a big play winning the faceoff, and when Dillon shot the puck bounced up off the goalie and hilt me,” said Nelson. “I was just lucky to be in the right place, and I got a good stick on it.” On the next shift, North Dakota center Carter Rowney skated to the left edge as Mike MacMillan sent him a perfect pass for a goal at 18:29, and the two goals in :46 seconds sent the Fighting Sioux into intermission up 2-0. “They started off better than we did, and they kept it rolling,” said Denver center Drew Shore. “We don’t play three games in a row much, but the first goal in any game is huge. They got it, and I thought that was one of the big turning points.” True, if both teams were weary, the first goal could provide an adrenaline jump-start, and the Fighting Sioux kept feeding it. Early in the second period, they were bolstered by two Denver penalties, and on the second of those, Michael Parks scored a power-play goal with a quick shot from deep on the right side at 9:58. To that point, the Fighting Sioux hadn’t drawn a single penalty, but they got the next three. Rowney’s second penalty in a row opened the third period, but instead of giving hope to the Pioneers it was the Sioux who scored, shorthanded. MacMillan blocked the puck free from a Denver skater at center ice and raced in alone at Olkinuora and drilled a shot into the left edge at 7:11. A goal at 7:11, short-handed at that, for a team wearing green uniforms on St. Patrick’s Day in downtown Saint Paul – how could the Pioneers overcome that? They couldn’t. About the only highlight for Denver in the third period was when Brock Nelson fired the rebound of Danny Kristo’s shot into the net, the officials reviewed it and disallowed the goal before Kristo had skated into the goal crease and bumped relief goalie Adam Murray an instant before the puck crossed the goal line. Gwozdecky said, “We are really looking for a little rest. Whatever region we’re in, great. We just need some rest, and maybe we could even get a couple of our long-term injured players back.”

WCHA Men’s Tie-Breaking Procedures - For Playoff Purposes Only

At the conclusion of the regular season, teams will be ranked by the number of points accumulated. If two teams are tied for first place, they will be declared co-WCHA champions. The first round of the WCHA's post-season tournament will be a best-of-three games format at the home site of the teams ranked higher in the final regular season standings. All 12 teams participate in the first round of the tournament. First round playoff pairings will be: #1 rank vs #12 rank, #2 rank vs #11 rank, #3 vs #10, #4 vs #9, 5# vs #8, and #6 vs #7. Following the six first round series, the six winning teams will be re-seeded #1 thru #6 according to their standings in the final WCHA in-season competition and will advance to the WCHA Final Five. In the event that ties are encountered in the determination of WCHA ranking or designation of home teams for playoff purposes, the following procedures will be used in the order given to break the ties: a) If two or more teams are tied, head-to-head competition during the regular (conference) season will be used to break the tie. b) If two or more teams are still tied after (a), the highest seed will go to the team with the most WCHA (conference) wins during the regular season. c) If two or more teams played a four-game series during the regular season and the teams have the same win-loss records for those series and the same number of WCHA wins, the team having the least number of goals scored against it in the four-game series shall have the higher rank. If two or more teams played a two-game series during the regular season, procede to tie-breaker d). d) If two or more teams are still tied after applying the provisions of (a), (b) and (c), the team having the greatest "winning margin" during the regular season will have the higher rank. Winning margin = WCHA goals for during the regular season minus WCHA goals against. e) Games played against WCHA opponents in holiday tournaments will not be counted in the determinations.
