Michigan and rest of Big 10 didn't see Wisconsin (19-4) coming. Big 10 tough conference this season. Wolverines are #15 in pairwise at 9-7-3, could still make 16-team playoff pool with a Big 10 tournament showing.
Good skating team. After Great Lakes Invitational, the independent club spent week practicing in Grand Forks. Actually pulled goalie to score their fourth goal Friday night.
Minot (N.D.) State University, ACHC-champion played up over the weekend, losing exhibition contests in Colorado to NCAA Division 1 and NCHC members CC (7-1) and Denver (9-3). ACHC is basically club hockey, but Minot has a number of junior-level players on its roster.
And Jasper Wallstedt injured?
Zane McIntryre, 31, Thief River Falls/Fargo Force/UND, has limited NHL experience with Boston. He's 6-2, 200. Great individual, volunteer coach in Moorhead while with Fargo in USHL.
