The No. 15 Michigan Wolverines (8-7-3) officially return to the ice tonight. Following a gold medal at the World Juniors tournament for Rutger McGroarty, Frank Nazar, Gavin Brindley, and Seamus Casey, and a 5-1 exhibition victory over the U.S. NTDP last weekend, the Wolverines will resume play on their collegiate season this weekend against Stonehill.
The last time we saw the Wolverines, the team struggled with health, chemistry and frequent defensive lapses. Over Michigan’s final five games, the Wolverines went 2-2-1 in what was a microcosm of their entire season. However, some help is on the way.
