2014-15 NCHC Media Guide 5 @TheNCHC | #NCHCHockey Conference Bio

he National Collegiate Hockey Conference was founded in the summer of 2011 when six institutions bonded togeth- er to form a collection of some of the most notable college hockey programs in the nation. Just a few months later, Tthe conference grew to eight teams and established the foundation for this prestigious group of institutions. Built on the principles of excellence both on and off the ice, the NCHC is committed to fostering an environment of integrity, sports- manship and competition.

The motivation for forming this new conference came as the landscape of college hockey began to change in the spring of 2011. When Penn State University announced it was starting a college hockey program in the spring of 2011, the Big 10 hockey conference was created. The seismic shift sent ripples throughout the college hockey world and left many institu- tions searching for stability. On July 13, 2011, the leaders from six schools, Colorado College, the University of Denver, Miami University, the University of Minnesota Duluth, the University of Nebraska Omaha and the University of North Dakota announced the decision to start their own conference beginning in the 2013-14 academic year. On Sept. 22, 2011, St. Cloud State University and Western Michigan University accepted invitations and the NCHC grew to its current mem- bership of eight teams.

The infrastructure of the conference began to materialize in August 2011, as Colorado Springs, the birthplace of the NCAA Hockey Championships, was selected as the home of the league’s headquarters. Jim Scherr, the former CEO of the U.S. Olympic Committee, was named the conference’s first commissioner in January of 2012.

The inaugural commissioner quickly began working to build his inaugural staff, finding a home for the NCHC Tournament and securing a national television contract. In January 2012, the NCHC and CBS Sports Network inked a multi-year agreement to nationally-televise several conference games per season, including the NCHC Tournament semifinals and championship games. In June 2012, the NCHC announced that Target Center in Minneapolis, Minn. would be the home of the conference championship.

In July 2013, Scherr left the NCHC but the conference didn’t miss a beat, as Josh Fenton, former senior associate athlet- ic director at Miami University, was named the conference’s second commissioner. Fenton played an integral role in the formation of the new conference, making a seamless transition to his new role.

Under Fenton’s guidance, the NCHC successfully launched its official website, NCHCHockey.com, in August 2013, and a mobile app, becoming the first collegiate hockey conference to do so.The conference also held its first Media Day at Target Center on Sept. 19, 2013. The NCHC officially dropped the puck on Oct. 18, 2013 as Miami hosted North Dakota and Colorado College hosted Minnesota Duluth in the first ever conference games, both of which were nationally televised on CBS Sports Network.

In November of 2013, with the help of fan suggestions and a fan vote, the NCHC’s championship was renamed the NCHC Frozen Faceoff. The conference’s first season saw intense competition on the ice and great passion and enthusiasm in the stands, as the regular-season title came down to the final weekend. St. Cloud State became the inaugural NCHC regular-season champions on the final night, capturing the Julie and Spencer Penrose Memorial Cup – the NCHC’s regular-season trophy. Denver would then go on to claim the inaugural NCHC Frozen Faceoff title, defeating Miami in the championship game on March 22, 2014. The NCHC saw three members make the 2014 NCAA Tournament in its first season, led by North Dakota, which reached the Frozen Four.

The members of the NCHC are certainly no stranger to the NCAAs, however. This collection of hockey programs has combined to win four NCAA Championships and made 18 Frozen Four appearances since 2000, including North Dakota in 2014. In the history of college hockey, NCHC schools have combined to win 17 NCAA hockey titles. Only three schools have won more than six NCAA hockey titles and two of them (Denver and North Dakota each with seven) reside in the NCHC. Minnesota Duluth is the conference’s most recent NCAA champion, winning the title in 2011. In 2013, St. Cloud State advanced to its first Frozen Four in school history while Husky forward Drew LeBlanc won the 2013 Hobey Baker Memorial Award. Fellow Husky Nic Dowd was a Hobey Hat Trick Finalist in 2014, while five NCHC student-athletes gar- nered AHCA All-American honors, including Dowd, in the conference’s first season.

The geographic diversity of the NCHC features some of the most beautiful terrain in the United States and spans three times zones (Eastern, Central and Mountain). The majestic Rocky Mountains of Colorado provide the backdrop to North Dakota’s Red River Valley and America’s heartland from Nebraska to Ohio. From the countless lakes of Minnesota to the shores of Lake Michigan, the NCHC is home to some of the most breath-taking scenery in the country.

With a strong foundation of institutions rich in tradition and excellence, the National Collegiate Hockey Conference is poised to solidify itself as the premier college hockey conference for years to come.

Mark Rudolph Officiating Achievement Award

n August 26, 2014, the NCHC announced the creation of the Mark Rudolph Officiating Achieve- Oment Award. The award will be handed out annually and presented to a member of the NCHC offi- ciating staff, be it a referee, linesman or supervisor, who through his actions, commitment, dedication, leadership and professionalism, has achieved a distinguished accomplishment that has significantly enhanced the NCHC and its officiating program both on and off the ice.

The NCHC’s Officiating Achievement Award has been named in honor of Mark Rudolph, a long-time official and distinguished administrator who resides in Colorado Springs, Colo. In 1982, Rudolph Mark Rudolph relocated from Buffalo, N.Y. to Colorado Springs for an employment opportunity that would change the complexion of American officiating forever. He pioneered the development of USA Hockey’s National Officiating Program – a program that served over 13,000 amateur officials during his 12 years of service.

Rudolph established the elite USA Hockey summer officiating camps, which accelerated the officiating careers of many, while developing and overseeing the program’s relationships with both the National Hockey League (NHL) and the In- ternational Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF). He also created and implemented USA Hockey’s District Officiating Seminars, which placed the elite summer camp experience into backyards across the country so more officials could benefit from that “camp experience.”

In addition, Rudolph authored the original USA Hockey officiating manuals, which provided thousands of American offi- cials with the basic fundamentals of officiating. The USA Hockey Officiating Program continues to benefit from the founda- tion that Rudolph built so many years ago.

Rudolph, who officiated NCAA Division I collegiate hockey for over 10 seasons, also displayed his on-ice officiating talents in the International Hockey League (IHL), the (AHL) and the Atlantic Coast Hockey League (currently ECHL). Rudolph served as a Supervisor of Officials for the NHL from 1991-1997 and for the IIHF from 1988-97, as well.

Award Criteria: 1) The award recipient must be any individual on the officiating program staff with the NCHC for the previous season; and 2) The award recipient shall be an individual who, through dedicated effort and service, on and off the ice, has achieved a distinguished accomplishment during the previous NCHC season, and who by his actions has significantly enhanced the NCHC and its officiating program.

2014-15 Pioneer Storylines

The Pioneers look to continue their streak of seven consecutive NCAA Ice Hockey Tournament appearances. The last time DU missed the tournament was 2007.

Denver looks to replace goalie Sam Brittain, who was named NCHC Goalie of the Year last season. Brittain was the backbone of a Pioneer team that captured the NCHC Frozen Faceoff Championship in the first year of the tournament. The championship was the school’s 16th conference tournament title in program history.

Denver comes into the season with 13 straight years with at least 20 wins. The Crimson and Gold look to extend their NCAA best streak of consecutive 20-win seasons to 14 in 2014-15.

2014-15 RedHawk Storylines

A strong showing in the NCHC Tournament masked a forgettable 2013-14 season that saw Miami miss the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2005. The Red and White, NCHC preseason favorites a year ago, return all but two letter winners to start a new postseason streak this year.

Adding in the newcomers gives the RedHawks seven players who were drafted by an NHL team (five forwards, two defensemen). The two defensemen (Louie Belpedio-MIN and Colin Sullivan-MTL) are expected to play heavy minutes and improve a defense that fell from second nationally (1.74 goals against average) in 2012-13 to 41st (3.03) a year ago.

While the Red and White attack ranked 26th nationally in scoring last year (2.92 goals per game), their offense is expected to be a big strength. Miami’s returners account for 107 of the team’s 111 goals and 285 of its 289 points. All-NCHC picks Austin Czarnik (First-Team; 47 points) and Riley Barber (Second-Team; 44 points) headline the group, which brought its top eight scorers back from the 2013-14 campaign.

UMD returns 20 lettermen from a year ago, including five of its top six scorers.Topping that group is senior alternate team captain Justin Crandall and sophomore right winger Kyle Osterberg, who shared second place on the 2013-14 UMD scoring charts with 27 points each. That was a career best for Crandall.

The Bulldogs sported the nation’s 10th highest scoring freshmen group last winter. The seven UMD rookies combined for 89 points (the most of any first-year class in the NCHC) on 35 goals and 54 assists. Heading the list was Osterberg (who was selected the NCHC Rookie of the Week a league-high four times last season) and left winger , who generated 11 goals and 11 assists in 36 outings en route to landing a spot on the NCHC All-Rookie Team.

This year marks the fourth full season that UMD will call AMSOIL Arena home. The 6,756-seat, $80-million downtown facility opened for business on Dec. 30, 2010 meaning that for the first time in a half a century, no current member of the Bulldogs has ever played a game at the old Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center.

2014-15 North Dakota Storylines North Dakota enters the season having qualified for each of the past 12 NCAA Tournaments, the longest active streak in the nation. UND has advanced to six NCAA Frozen Fours and eight regional championship games in the first 10 years of head coach ’s tenure. Hakstol (260-133-40, 11th year) enters the season needing three wins to surpass his predecessor, , as the second-winningest coach in UND hockey history. John “Gino” Gasparini won a school-record 392 games from 1978 to 1994, going 392-248-24. Hakstol played under Gasparini at UND and succeeded Blais as head coach. Junior goaltender Zane McIntyre, a unanimous selection to the NCHC Preseason All-Conference Team, is UND’s all- time leader with a .924 career save percentage. Last season, McIntyre made 33 appearances and led the NCHC in goals against average (1.99) and tied for the league lead in wins (20). He allowed two goals or fewer in 10 of his last 11 games and was named NCHC Player of the Month for March/April. UND returns seven defensemen from last year’s group of blueliners that was the most productive in the nation, both in terms of total points (115) and points per game (2.74). The group includes a trio of 20-point scorers in All-NCHC Second Teamer Jordan Schmaltz (6-18—24), senior Nick Mattson (4-19—23) and NCHC All-Rookie Team selection Paul LaDue (6-15—21).

2014-15 Maverick Storylines

The Mavericks welcome 11 freshmen to their roster this season, the largest class of newcomers since the first year of the program in 1997-98.

Omaha has seven players drafted by National Hockey League teams on its roster, one shy of the program high, including incoming freshmen Luc Snuggerud and Tyler Vesel.

Senior Dominic Zombo and sophomore Jake Guentzel return as the Mavericks’ leading scorers from last year after each player notched 34 points in 2013-14. Zombo had a career high 17 goals while Guentzel fell just one point shy of tying the school record for points by a freshman in a campaign that earned him NCHC All-Rookie Team honors.

The Mavericks will be playing their final season at the CenturyLink Center in downtown Omaha in 2014-15 before moving to their new on-campus arena in the fall of 2015.

2014-15 Bronco Storylines

The underclassmen will outnumber the upperclassmen on the 2014-15 roster. The Broncos have 15 freshmen and sophomores (seven freshmen, eight sophomores) and 13 upperclassmen (eight juniors, five seniors).

In addition to the annual NCHC playoffs the Broncos will be taking part in two in-season tournaments, starting with the Shillelagh Tournament at Notre Dame on Nov. 28 and 29. The Broncos will open up the tournament against former conference foe Ohio State and then play the winner or loser of Notre Dame and Union. WMU then heads to Pittsburgh, Pa., for the Three Rivers Classic. Western Michigan opens up against Colgate on Dec. 29 and then plays the winner or loser of Penn State and Robert Morris on Dec. 30. Last season WMU made it to the finals of the BriceAlaska Rush and claimed the Great Lakes Invitational Championship.

WMU will play in the program’s third outdoor game in history when it plays Miami in the Hockey City Classic at Soldier Field in Chicago, Ill. on Feb. 7. The Broncos are 2-0-0 all-time in outdoor games after claiming the Great Lakes Invitational Championship in 2013 at Comerica Park in Detroit, Mich.
