Some stats to to chew on

With Troy Jutting set to get a new contract with Minnesota State, I thought I'd compare a few numbers over his last two-year contract with other teams in the WCHA.

REGULAR-SEASON WINNING PERCENTAGE
1. North Dakota .671
2. Colorado College .660
3. Denver .634
4. St. Cloud State .542
5. Minnesota State .528
5. Minnesota .528
7. Wisconsin .521
8. Minnesota Duluth .514
9. Alaska-Anchorage .404
10. Michigan Tech .347

REGULAR-SEASON WINS
1. North Dakota 45
2. Colorado College 42
2. Denver 42
4. St. Cloud State 35
5. Minnesota State 33
6. Wisconsin 32
7. Minnesota 30
8. Minnesota Duluth 29
9. Alaska Anchorage 21
10. Michigan Tech 19
(most teams, including MSU played 72 games over the last two seasons)

WCHA POINTS
1. North Dakota 77
2. Colorado College 74
3. Denver 69
4. Wisconsin 58
5. St. Cloud State 56
6. Minnesota State 54 (23 league wins)
6. Minnesota 54 (21 league wins)
8. Minnesota Duluth 50
9. Alaska-Anchorage 35
10. Michigan Tech 33

The Mavericks just missed out on the Final Five and NCAA tournament in 2008 and fell short of those goals in 2009. Here are the WCHA teams that made it to those tournaments the last two years:

Final Five: North Dakota (2), Denver (2), Minnesota (2), Colorado College, St. Cloud State, Wisconsin, Minnesota Duluth.

NCAA: North Dakota (2), Denver (2), Colorado College, St. Cloud State, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Minnesota Duluth.

This is just some food for thought. I'm not making any statements right now. This was just something I was interested in looking into and had a little time Friday morning.
