The men's college hockey season officially began on Saturday, and Minnesota State was on the ice — twice — for practice. Today, the Mavericks will play an exhibition game against Regina at 5:07 p.m. at the Verizon Center.
Check out Sunday's edition of The Free Press for my season preview story as well as a feature on C.J. Suess' decision to change his name from C.J. Franklin.
Earlier in the week, I opined about Minnesota State's many preseason accolades and how quickly those predictions will be forgotten once the Mavericks begin their tough schedule.
Meanwhile, the Minnesota State women's team opened their season this weekend and went 1-0-1 in a nonconference series at Lindenwood. Read about the Mavericks' prospects here, along with a feature on captain Anna Keys here.
Back to the men, Regina played St. Cloud State on Saturday and lost 8-0. It might be worth comparing that result to what happens tonight, as the Mavericks will host the ninth-ranked Huskies next Saturday to kick off the regular season. MSU's following opponent, No. 2 Boston University, played a real game on the first day of the season, defeating Union 4-1.
In other real-game action this weekend, Colgate defeated Niagara 5-1, and Michigan Tech will play at Wisconsin today.
