WCHA WEEKEND PREVIEW: OCT. 16-17, 2015 News and Notes for the Upcoming Weekend of WCHA Hockey WCHA WEEKEND PREVIEW: OCT. 16-17, 2015 News and notes for the upcoming weekend of WCHA hockey Opening Face-Off • A Look at the Polls: No. 10 Bowling Green, No. 14 Minnesota State and No. 16 Michigan Tech give the WCHA three ranked teams in the USCHO.com poll, with Bemidji State (second-highest total in the category, just outside the top 20), Northern Michigan and Ferris State all in the "receiving votes" column. The Mavericks are No. 15 in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine poll, with MTU and NMU receiving votes. • Welcome Back, Justin: This past weekend marked the return to the ice of Alaska Nanooks forward Justin Woods, who missed all of last season while undergoing successful treatment for a rare form of bone cancer. Woods totaled a WCHA-high six blocks in two games over the weekend. • Bemidji State Notches Another Upset: Following a power outage-induced postponement Friday in Duluth, Bemidji State opened its campaign with a thrilling 3-2 victory over No. 2/3 UMD on Saturday night. In their last 17 games dating back to last season (Jan. 23), the Beavers have posted five victories over top-10 opponents (No. 7 UMD, No. 1 Minnesota State, No. 6 Bowling Green and No. 2 MSU last season). BSU, which is 10-5-2 overall during that stretch, will get its next opportunity to slay a giant this weekend with a home-and-home against top-ranked North Dakota (whom the Beavers defeated on opening night last season in Grand Forks, when UND was ranked No. 2). • Charging Ahead: Showing the program's continued progress, Alabama Huntsville posted an opening weekend win for the first time since 2010-11, defeating Connecticut 5-2 on Saturday to earn a split. Last season, the Chargers did not post their first victory until their ninth game (0-7- 1); in 2013-14, the winless streak was 15 contests (0-15-0) out of the gate. • 1,600 for the Huskies: Michigan Tech will play its 1,600th all-time WCHA game in the league opener Friday night. A founding member of the league and part of the WCHA for 60 seasons (except 1980-81 through 1983-84), the Huskies are 664-826-109 all-time in league play. The Week Ahead • Cup Quest Begins: The chase for the MacNaughton Cup, which has been decided by just a single point each of the last two years, begins this weekend when No. 16 Michigan Tech opens its season at Ferris State. • More Nonconference Ahead: The WCHA will look to improve on its 5-9-3 opening weekend record with 11 more games against the NCHC (5), Atlantic Hockey (4) and ECAC Hockey (2). • Brice Alaska Goal Rush: Tournament play will return to the Last Frontier for the second straight weekend, with Alaska hosting the Brice Alaska Goal Rush in Fairbanks. The Nanooks will welcome American International, RPI and Alaska Anchorage to Fairbanks. • Wait, You Look Familiar: Upper Peninsula rivals and WCHA member schools Lake Superior State and Northern Michigan will face off in a nonconference home-and-home series this weekend. WCHA.tv • A total of nine WCHA games this weekend can be viewed live via WCHA.tv. All rankings listed by USCHO.com poll first, followed by USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine poll WCHA No. 16 Michigan Tech (0-0-0, 0 pts. WCHA/ 0-0-0) at Ferris State (0-0-0, 0 pts.

FSU, however, is 6-5-0 on its home ice. • No. 16 MTU officially opens its 95th hockey season with this series against its in-state rival, after winning a pair of exhibition games last weekend. FSU opened its 41st season with a pair of exciting, one-goal games against Western Michigan (0-1-1). • FSU junior G Charles Williams made his return to the net last weekend after missing all of last year due to injury, posting a .939 save percentage (62-of-66) and 1.93 GAA. • MTU senior F Alex Petan (fourth among active D-I players with 102 career points) was named to the College Hockey News Preseason All-America Second Team, while senior G Jamie Phillips (and Winnipeg Jets draftee) was tabbed a “Top 10 Goalie to Watch” by USCHO.com.

The Fairbanks native played in both games for the Nanooks, marking the first time he was on the ice since the 2013-14 season. Woods tied for the WCHA lead with six blocks last weekend.

Meanwhile, Ege produced two points on the weekend, including his first collegiate goal on Oct. 9. • UAA heads north for the eighth annual Brice Alaska Goal Rush. The Seawolves are 8-5-1 all-time at the BAGR, and has won twice since the inaugural event in 2008. • The Seawolves – who have 20 underclassmen, including 12 freshmen – and the Engineers will meet for just the fourth time ever. UAA is 2-1 vs RPI, with the teams’ last meeting coming at the Brice tournament in 2009 (a 3-0 Seawolves victory).

Beginning Jan. 23 of last season, the Beaves are 10-5-2 in their last 17 games, a stretch that includes five victories over top-10 opponents. • For the second straight season, the Beavers opened their campaign by downing the No. 2 team in the country when they defeated No. 2/3 Minnesota Duluth, 3-2, last Saturday. • BSU’s Charlie O’Connor scored with 22.7 seconds remaining in regulation to lift the Beavers to victory at the Sanford Center. The dramatic goal was just the second game-winner of the junior’s career. • Michael Bitzer stopped 28-of-30 shots to earn the win against UMD. In 29 career appearances, the 2014-15 WCHA Rookie of the Year is 15-11-3 with a .930 save percentage and 1.81 GAA. • BSU is 3-36-3 all-time vs. North Dakota, but two of its wins and two of its ties in the series dating back to 1970 have come since the 2011-12 season. BSU has outscored North Dakota 9-4 in the Beavers’ last three appearances at Ralph Englestad Arena, going 1-1-1 (including a 5-1 victory over then-No. 2 UND in the 2014 season opener).

  • UNIVERSITY of ALASKA President’S Report
    UNIVERSITY of ALASKA President’s Report 2006-2007 “The Next Thousand Days” Letter from UA President Mark Hamilton The University of Alaska stands at the brink of tremendous opportunity. The next thousand days takes us roughly to our 50th anniversary of Alaska’s statehood, achieved in 1959. As we head toward this celebration, I ask this question: Have we done all that we can to make the 49th star on the American flag the best that it can be? We’ve made great progress, but we must do more. We’re a state blessed with an abundance of natural resources, from oil and gas to fish and minerals. Have we made the most of these resources, providing a maximum benefit to the Alaskans who live here? Are we preparing our young people to take the legacy jobs that will exist long after a new gas pipeline has been constructed? The next thousand days present an awesome opportunity to reflect on the past and ensure a bright future. At UA this past year we awarded a record 3,223 degrees and certificates – the most ever in a single year. Public confidence in our state university system has never been stronger. More high school graduates than ever are choosing to attend college, and they are choosing UA. The UA Scholars program has been wildly successful, beyond anything I had hoped for when it was first introduced in 1999. In short, we’re on a roll. We have many goals over the next thousand days. They roughly fall into one of these three categories: • Workforce Development – Strengthening programs aimed at producing an educated and trained workforce for Alaska,

HANSON PresidenT’s Message Welcome to BSU’s biannual magazine – outstanding as ever, and now with a new name, Bemidji State University. The former name, Horizons, had been in place for many years, but it was time this important publication had a clearer connection to the institution. Once you’re done reading about the people and progress that make us all so proud, I hope you will give your copy an honored place on your coffee table at home or at work. As our 2013 Commencement ceremony approaches, how fitting that the cover story for this spring/summer edition features Moses Tsang. We are thrilled he will be in Bemidji to receive an honorary doctorate in recognition of his accomplishments through both career and service. I am also pleased to announce that another outstand- ing alum, Marine Corps Lieutenant General Thomas D. Waldhauser, will be honored as our Distinguished Minnesotan and deliver the keynote address. These pages are filled with evidence of the enormous difference Bemidji State makes every day, especially through our wonderful students and graduates, who achieve, lead and serve in so many ways. You will read about the rapid expansion of our international studies programs under the leadership of Provost Dr. Martin Tadlock, meet several more of our “Students to Watch,” catch up on university news and learn more about the lives of such impressive alums as Bill Colter, Rita Albrecht and Peggy and Sam Johnson.
