Different sources have listed the win total at different numbers, but the Huskies are unanimously on top of all of them as it stands.
We're saddened to hear about yesterday's passing of long time

Thank you to the Misfits for taking their opportunity provided by alumni and being loud the entire game and out cheering a Penn State home crowd! You showed up after a long bus ride and you had a longer than expect trek home. Thank you all for doing what you do and carrying on!
What an insane last couple of days. Thanks to our alumni and MTU, we were able to send 96 students to Allentown, PA for free. A community unlike any other has helped us prove once again why we’re the best student section in all of college hockey 💛🖤💛🖤
Congrats to Mitch Reinke on signing a pro contract with the St Louis Blues. You’ll be missed in Houghton but it’s hard to argue with you being ready for pro hockey. We’ll be watching. Good luck

sits down with former Huskies’ star David Johnstone to discuss his hockey career and why he ultimately did not play professional hockey.
We are saddened by the news of the sudden death of Franc Petan. The father of former Husky, Alex Petan. Our condolences to the entire Petan family. Franc was always up for talking hockey when we had a chance to interact. He will be missed.
Today, we honor the man who scored the GWG in the 2018 WCHA Title Game, clinching the league's first ever Jeff Sauer Trophy while on our rivals' home ice.

The first task of the new CCHA commissioner will be hiring a new web designer that can also setup an email service so we can stop depending on Yahoo like it's 2007.

If you’re doing the NCAA final 4, please make it a preparation goal going in to know the other teams better than those in the league you work for. The balance will make your enthusiasm shine like a star.....man.

Today, we honor a man of the people, (previous) owner of a god-tier flow, and former captain Jake Lucchini.
A fan favorite in the Copper Country, Jake was routinely the most passionate and electric skater on the ice, and is currently playing in the Penguins' organization.
Jake Lucchini sets up the scoring play with a BEAUTIFUL between-the-legs deke and Gavin Gould pockets the rebound.
Michigan Tech ties it up with Notre Dame, 2-2.
