The Mavericks are idle this weekend, but they're making news. Here's The Free Press' account of the Trevor Bruess suspension.
The WCHA men's and women's leagues also announced their 2008-09 scholar athletes, which included the following Mavericks: Ashley Bliskowski, Trevor Breuss, Kala Buganski; Nick Canzanello, Ida Clark, Kristi Ellis, Rylan Galiardi, Jenna Hewitt, Austin Lee, Kathleen Rosso, Andrew Sackrison, Holly Snyder, Nina Tikkinen, Dan Tormey, Amy Udvig and Ashley Young.
Going around the WCHA ...
Minnesota plays at Colorado College. The Gophers' Jay Barriball is back to his point-per-game pace, while senior Justin Bostrom says Minnesota needs to play with some urgency. The Colorado Springs Gazette, meanwhile, looks at a couple of ties between the two programs: the eight Minnesotans on the Tigers' roster and the health of Gophers coach Don Lucia who was CC's coach for six seasons.
Wisconsin hosts Denver, and DU standout freshman Patrick Wiercioch is going to the Kohl Center for the first time since decommitting to the Badgers to joing the Pioneers. Here's The Wisconsin State Journal's preview. The Badgers, like a lot of teams right now are preaching about doing the little things it takes to win, and coach Mike Eaves keeps track of those details.
Minnesota Duluth is at Michigan Tech. Here's the Duluth News Tribune preview. Tech has locked up 10th place in the WCHA standings.
North Dakota can do MSU a favor by keeping Alaska-Anchorage in ninth place. It might not be easy for the Sioux, though, as they have won just one of their last five games in Anchorage. The Seawolves, though, have not had great crowds at Sullivan Arena. In fact, they're on pace for a 20-year low in average attendance.
Here are conference previews by INCH and USCHO.
