Michigan Tech Offseason Thread

[huskyfan]

Sitting at my campsite, looking over a lake, but thinking of hockey. Weak wireless signal lets me catch up on the offseason thread. Hullooo to all my homies here on the boards. Drop the puck already, eh?
PS what's the drive time Anchorage to Fairbanks? Could be worth the journey to see both in a week...

Oh yeah!!

According to Google Maps: 359 mi, 6 hours 27 mins. Through the edge of the Denali Wilderness Park.

Would be a fantastic drive if the weather cooperated.

If it not... it'd be like a drive through the UP to see two more games. Either way, it's a win. I'll definitely be looking at making the trip.

Plus mountains and more moose.

Yeah, if the weather is good. If not.. it's just like driving in the UP in the winter. You can't see ****, how do you know if there are mountains?

Today at the gym I ran into a guy who played for the Amo Bessone coached, MSU team in 1966, that won the NCAA title. Very interesting conversation. He plays in an over 60 league now in Dearborn that has 10 teams and a waiting list.!

IS a fantastic drive. The canyons at the north end of Denali Park do a great job of making you feel small.

Michigan Tech news today:

Josh Robinson signs with AHL's Texas Stars http://www.michigantechhuskies.com/V...CLID=205436762

Stephen Anderson tweeted that he spoke with Mel today and to watch the DMG for updates, he also tweeted a pic of all the tubing that's installed

We have a new recruit, Evan Anderson of Colorado, a forward, he's playing for the Penticton Vees of the BCHL next year

Edit to add Penticton Vees blog post:

PRESS RELEASE:

“Penticton, BC- The Penticton Vees Junior Hockey Club is pleased to announce recruit Evan Anderson has committed to the Michigan Tech Huskies.

Anderson, 18, hails from Littleton, Colorado where he just completed his final season with the Colorado Thunderbirds Major Midget U18 team in the Tier 1 Elite Hockey League. Anderson led the team in scoring with 15 goals and 31 points in 39 games, helping guide the T-birds to the Rocky Mountain District Championship, and a National Championship appearance in Williamsville, New York.

Vees Head Coach & GM Fred Harbinson says Anderson is a great pickup for the Huskies, “Evan is coming off a great season in Colorado where he was a leader and a go-to player for his team. Mel Pearson is doing great things with Michigan Tech and that program is already turning a lot of heads in the WCHA.”

This past season, under first-year Head Coach Mel Pearson, the Huskies assembled a 16-19-4 record and advanced to the WCHA Tournament quarter-final. A remarkable year, after the Huskies finished with only four wins the previous season. For his efforts, Pearson was named the WCHA Coach of the Year in March. The Huskies have and been a member of the WCHA since 1959 and they play out of the John J. MacInnes Student Ice Arena in Houghton, Michigan.

The Vees have a connection with Michigan Tech, as two alumni suited up for the Huskies recently in Deron Cousens (2007-2011) and Alex MacLeod (2008-2012).”

Who knows anything about when they're going to release the next jersey? The last day of the month again?

Re: Michigan Tech Offseason Thread

Is there a fog in the Mac? Yesterday there seemed to be a great deal of detailed inspection going on. Was there a problem that was being checked on? A "minor" error in installation or just the usual looking for stray bits and pieces?
