Saturday Morning Skate

The Mavericks are back in action after a brief holiday break, playing today in the Mariucci Classic in Minneapolis. For the first time, Minnesota's holiday tournament is an all-Minnesota affair, featuring St. Cloud State and Bemidji State, too.

Minnesota State plays St. Cloud State at 4 p.m. today, with Minnesota and Bemidji State squaring off at 7 p.m.  The two winners and two losers will play each other on Sunday, with the Gophers getting the late game either way. For more on each team, see the College Hockey Gameday in The Free Press.

The games will be the final ones, not only of the year, but of the decade for the Mavericks, and what a decade it's been for them and for college hockey.

As for other WCHA teams, Lake Superior State is in Vermont's Catamount Cup this weekend, playing Providence today and Vermont on Sunday.

On Monday and Tuesday, the Great Lakes Invitational takes place in Detroit, with Michigan Tech playing Michigan State and Ferris State playing Michigan to start the tournament.

Also Monday, Bowling Green and Miami play each other again, as the Falcons take on former coach Chris Bergeron again, this time at Miami. They played on Oct. 6 at Bowling Green with the Falcons winning the season-opener 7-4.
