The final installment of “How the West Was Won” between Michigan Tech and Bemidji State aired on FloHockey last Friday, and it was spellbinding.

The Michigan Tech Huskies are going dancing. After a tense 2-1 win over Bemidji State on the road in the Mason Cup Final, the Huskies won the CCHA postseason championship and claimed an automatic bid to the NCAA men’s hockey tournament.

Assessing the Mason Cup Championship game comes down to one question: Can anyone slow the roll of Bemidji State?

The semifinals of this year’s CCHA Mason Cup Playoffs feature a stark contrast in games in terms of anticipated drama.

It’s time for some March madness in the CCHA, and prognostication of this league, this year in particular, often is an exercise in futility.

Bemidji State last won the MacNaughton Cup in 2017, in a defunct men’s league (WCHA) against a defunct team (Alabama-Huntsville) in a game played south of the Mason Dixon Line.

Trophy season in the CCHA arrives this weekend, and the MacInnes Cup will be awarded in Houghton, Michigan, to the winner of the Michigan Tech-Minnesota State series.

Road teams ruled this weekend in the CCHA, picking up 13 of a possible 18 points in the intra-league clashes.

The sad song of CCHA nonconference frustration played on for St. Thomas, Lake State, Bemidji State and Ferris State over the holidays, but old reliable Michigan Tech stunned Michigan State to claim the historic Great Lakes Invitational.

The U.S. National Junior Team roster has been set. USA Hockey announced Saturday the 25 players that will comprise its team at the 2024 IIHF World Junior Championship, which begins Dec. 26 in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Much of the college hockey world has slipped into holiday mode – taking care of exams and nursing bruised bodies for a couple of weeks – but a handful of schools are getting in a final weekend of action.

This week in CCHA RinkRap, we catch up with the nation's leading scorer, touch on the reemergence of Australian standout Tyrone Bronte from Michigan Tech and check in with Bowling Green as it moves past a recent hazing scandal.

For the first time this season, all eight CCHA teams will be competing within the conference this weekend – four series that will establish the league’s balance of power.

Each year in men's college hockey, the freshman class is often chock full of high-end future NHL talent. This year will be no different with multiple high-end NHL Draft eligible players, several players who have already been selected in the first round and many more that have been drafted by NHL teams.

PLYMOUTH, Mich. -- The 2023 World Junior Summer Showcase was just that, a tremendous showcase of high-end talent with many of the best players under the age of 20 in the United States on hand. The U.S. split its roster in two, White and Blue, while trying to evaluate candidates for the 2024 IIHF World Junior Championship.
