The No. 4 ranked Michigan Wolverines (5-1) regained their momentum after a weekend sweep over the Lake Superior State Lakers. This week, Michigan football isn’t the only team welcoming a rival. The Wolverines welcome the No. 16/17 ranked Western Michigan Broncos (5-2) on the ice for a home-and-home weekend series.
Western Michigan will be a tough matchup for the Wolverines because of its stout defensive play led by last week’s NCHC’s players of the week: defenseman Cedric Fielder and goalie Cameron Rowe.
Fielder has taken a massive leap for a Broncos team that lost their top four point scorers from a team that reached the regional final of the NCAA Tournament last year.
