KALAMAZOO, Mich. – The Western Michigan hockey team heads into its final week of the regular season ranked No. 8 in both the US College Hockey Online and USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine polls.
The Broncos (19-8-5, 12-8-2-1 NCHC) have wrapped up home ice for the National Collegiate Hockey Conference Quarterfinals ahead of its regular-season finale series against No. 2/3 Minnesota Duluth this weekend. WMU took four points with a win and a tie against Colorado College last weekend to bring the NCHC Playoffs to Lawson Ice Arena for the first time in program history.
This is the sixth-straight week that Western Michigan has appeared in the Top 10 of either poll and the team has now been ranked in the last 15 polls.
