Heart felt thank you to the Misfits and the MTU Band for being the best in college hockey. You truly make every road game feel like we’re playing at the Mac. THANK YOU.
We would like to thank all of the Misfits that cheered with us all this year,
@mtuhky
for giving us an amazing series of hockey to watch, and to everybody that supported the Misfits. It was a heartbreaker, but a season to remember. We'll be back next year better than ever.
Looking to spice up the U.P. rivalry? Lake Superior State coach Damon Whitten's new contract offers a $2,000 bonus for sweeping the season series against Michigan Tech.
Back home and greeted by a friend.
Thanks to the pep band, misfits and thousands of others that carried us through this season. Means much more than I can express. Thanks to Coaches, Support Staff, Administrators, and Players. Once a Husky, always a Husky.
One year ago, this weekend, I received a great call from Dr. Sanregret and Pres. Mroz. Thanks to Husky Nation and especially our players and extended hockey family for a great year. No better place to be.

Although it wasn’t the day you may have expected or hoped for, today was your day. Congrats to all
@mtuhky
players, support staff, Misfits, Pep Band members and all who would have walked the stage at the Mac today earning MTU degrees.
Join the team, Pep Band, Misfits and friends on Sunday at the Mac to view the selection show on the Jumbotron to find out where we go.

locked in as 12th seed. Doors open at 5:30. Share the word, Pack the Mac! I hope to see you there.
So incredibly proud of
@mtuhky
players, staff, and administrators for all the work and effort that went into this trip. Get some well deserved rest. Also, thanks to
@FerrisHockey
and
@uahhockey
for all your help with accommodations.

coach Mike Hastings looks at Notre Dame and says they remind him of
@mtuhky
in how they play and games vs the Huskies helped prep then for this game. Big compliment to MTU.
On behalf of
@mtuhky
congrats to
@MinnStMHockey
on winning the McNaughton Cup. From the Coaches Challenge to the late power play goal they executed when needed, as did we.
To our fans, let’s learn from the Super Bowl. It was a great hockey game despite the controversies.

Staff is going to watch two others play their first AHL games this weekend against each other in Grand Rapids as Texas “Karow” plays the Griffons “Bliss”.
As a kicker, alumni Tanner Kero and Joel LesPerance should be playing as well.
Always bitter sweet to watch kids leave home.
Character is what you do when no one is watching. Day 2 of lockdown. Laura woke up again at her normal time. Showered, did hair, makeup, dressed up and went downstairs to her temp office to work :15 early. Yesterday she stayed down there :20 minutes late. That’s character.
On this day, thankful for my wonderful family and friends. A job I love and wonderful people to share it with every day. Most of all the faith in God to know it is all a gift that I can never repay.
I shared the same thoughts with Coach Hastings this afternoon. Was looking forward to a great series this weekend. Also, wanted to see this team compete in the national tournament. (Preferably as an at-large)

@MavHockey
team I've seen in my 20 years covering the team. Just a machine at times with several veterans who came back to try to get to a Frozen Four and win a national title. Sad to not see them get that opportunity now.
Families gathering at the park in Chassell on New Year’s Day. On the ice, playing pond hockey. Adults, ice fishing in the bay and fishing out of boats on open water. Kids on the playground. Golfers at the course playing a few holes just to say they did. Great day to be a Yooper.
It’s a family affair!
New Pen Logan Pietila takes warm-ups tonight with his twin brother, Blake, who signed an ATO with

Congratulations to them both!
After a really good week with
@mtuhky
, enjoying what will probably be the last time on the portage for this year. Bitter sweet but excited for hockey season.
Congrats to a great group of young men. The future is bright. Congrats also to Jake Jackson who completed his degree and Mitch Reinke who earned his degree this spring from Concordia university while playing professional hockey. MTU is proud and grateful to all of you.
Thanks
@Buccigross
. Having the chance to spend some time with you at Bridgeport a few years ago was a personal highlight.
Thanks for all you do for college hockey.

My daughter was diagnosed Type I at 11 years old. Pumps, pricks, needles. Incredible discipline to manage this condition growing up. Much stronger than I. Drove her to earning her doctorate degree. Proud of this young man. Great example of perseverance to other diabetics.
Brendan Budy plays hockey with an insulin pump attached to his hip. He has a tattoo on his forearm, in case he's ever found passed out, to tell paramedics of his condition: He's Type 1 diabetic and sharing his story to raise money and inspire.
I absolutely love you guys. Not just that you participated and promoted our group but that you are all smiling. Thanks for being part of this great event.
Last night, we paid tribute to one of our beloved super fans, Stix. A lifetime ticket holder, he never missed a game. His spirit and energy towards NMU athletics, the community and life was contagious. We will always remember his overwhelming support.
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.
If I’m the someone I’ll tell you I have no bias. I tend to know the NCHC better but as a pro I have no rooting interest. Don’t mistake having more info on one team than another as bias, it’s more familiarity.

Birks’ deal will begin with the 2018.19 campaign. He will report to the

Full details:
No Plot. I talk with Austen often. My intent is to publicly support a friend and let the haters know he was loved, respected and welcome at MTU. He offered to play injured if needed. Helped us win a Championship. Puts others first which is what he’s doing now. Has my support.
Congrats to Luker, Bits, Rae and the entire

See you at coffee in the morning Duke. Will be a fun morning.

Congratulations
@jrshawha
on officially completing your first year as the Head Coach of Michigan Tech Hockey, today! I know the coming years will be as fun as this first year! 💛🖤
People ask me “How can you like Marchand?”. My answer is “How can you not?”. Justin Misiak is our Marchand and his next game will break the MTU Hockey all time games played record. He represents all that is good in the game and each day working with him has been a privilege.

MTU lost 2 family members recently.
Blueline Club board member Karen Hall passed late last. A saint of a lady Karen will be deeply missed on campus and in the community.
John “Ivy” Ivanitz was a member of the 62 NCAA title team and an All League player. Prayers to their families
I think there are some that might disagree but as you know, we aren’t competing in a popularity contest.
You all know how I feel about the MTU family. Love you all.
Have to say Thankyou to
@jrshawha
and his wife for opening up their beautiful home, snacks and drinks to the

Saturday after midnight. Can’t imagine there is a cooler D1 hockey coach in the country.
To be fair I welcome constructive critiquing as well. Any mention of

nationally, such as on NCAA Tourney selection shows etc. is a great thing for us!
