Bemidji State Beavers: Defending the MacNaughton 2017-18

[beaverhockeyfan]

Re: Bemidji State Beavers: Defending the MacNaughton 2017-18

Another season of Beaver Hockey has come and gone. The Beavers did win the MacNaughton for claiming the WCHA Regular Season Title, but did come up short in the WCHA Playoffs and earning a NCAA Bid. The Beavers did finally have a winning home record at the Sanford Center, going 13-8-1 (11-2-1 WCHA), and did have a winning road record at 9-6-2 (9-4-1 WCHA). They did drop their two neutral site games in the final North Star Cup. So, time to take a look at what the Beavers lose and what they have coming back.

I think Jubenvill, Armour and Sillinger may be eligible for Junior Hockey for one more year. We will see come September.

NON CONFERENCE SCHEDULE

This is unofficial, but what I have been able to gather is that the Beavers will be playing:
-Air Force in Bemidji (to open the season?)
-Home and Home with Duluth (in October)
-Home and Home with North Dakota
-Two at Princeton

That is about all for now, discuss!

Time for the new season thread. First post! I will work on my after the season review hopefully this week.
