Jutting gets WCHA honor

One year ago, Minnesota State coach Troy Jutting was given a two-year contract extension -- not the strongest endorsement the university could give him. But today, he got a huge nod from the WCHA, as the conference named him coach of the year.

"A lot of the credit goes to the kids," Jutting said. "I think, and I've always believed this, that coaches get too much credit when their teams are successful and too much blame when they're not. The kids worked extremely hard this year."

Also, Joel Hanson was named WCHA student-athlete of the year. Other league award winners can be found here. More later.
