Minnesota Hockey: Year Two of the Motzko Era is Upon Us

The Minnesota Golden Gophers hockey team will officially kick of the 2019-20 season Friday night in Colorado against the Colorado College Tigers. But the behind the scenes work has been in full effect over the summer and since official practice time could begin. Year two of the Bob Motzko era is here, and there is no greater way to show that this is most definately his team now that the level of turnover in the roster from a year ago today. Minnesota brings in eleven freshmen and a transfer including three new goalies. It may take a bit of time for these players to come together and gel, but you can’t say that this team does not both return a lot of quality talent as well as will be introducing some very soon.
