Minnesota Duluth vs Michigan Tech Preview
Minnesota Duluth (21-15-4) looks to get back for the Frozen Four but has Michigan Tech (21-12-3) to contend with first.
UMD fell to Massachusetts in the national championship last season. The Bulldogs come into this year’s tournament just three years removed from back-to-back national titles in 2018 and 2019. The Bulldogs secured a tournament spot by winning the NCHC tournament title 3-0 over Western Michigan on March 19.
It’s our time and there’s no slowing down. #BulldogCountry
Michigan Tech made the field as an at-large bid after falling 5-2 to Bemidji State in the CCH semifinals on March 12. The Huskies will face UMD for the first time ever in the NCAA tournament, but the history between the two teams goes back for the old WCHA. UMD and the Huskies have faced off 233 times according to the Duluth News Tribune.
“The first college game of my career was against them,” Michigan Tech’s Brian Bliss said according to The Daily Mining Gazette’s Daver Karnosky. “Same for a lot of our seniors. Since then, we haven’t seen them.”
The WCHA dissolved in 2021, but the league underwent major changes, starting with Minnesota and Wisconsin leaving for the new Big Ten hockey conference in 2011. Minnesota Duluth left the WCHA for the NCHC in 2013, and Michigan Tech joined the CCH after the dissolution of the WCHA.
The question is, where will you be watching the game? #mtuhky #FollowTheHuskies
“We know they’re a big, physical team with a lot of skill,” Bliss said per Karnosky. “They play in one of the best conferences and in college hockey. We know they’re going to be battle-tested. They have the tournament experience, so we’re going to have to bring our ‘A’ game.”
