To be perfectly honest....this was to be a 100 days until Gopher Hockey is back post. But...that didn’t happen. Whoops. So now its a 98 days until Gopher Hockey is back post. Or, 14 weeks from tonight the 2017-18 Gopher Hockey season will begin with a game against the Ice Breaker Classic host Minnesota-Duluth.
Minnesota will be looking to build off of last season’s team that lost in the NCAA Tournament to new Big Ten foe Notre Dame. They lose quite a bit of offensive firepower, but should still be strong on the blueline and in net with Eric Schierhorn.
