The dust has barely settled on the college hockey season, so what better time for a team that has once again fallen short to look ahead? Following a surprise third consecutive march to the Frozen Four, the Michigan Wolverines were stomped, 4-0, by eventual national runner-up Boston College, and are now left to reevaluate how to take the next step.
As painful as it was at the end, Michigan was playing with house money in this year’s postseason. To go from a team hovering around .500 for the majority of the season to the Frozen Four is incredible, and looking to next season, it is impossible not to be excited.
