I wonder who was behind this schedule change - NMU or UAH????
Coulda been the Huntsville Havoc. The change is probably good for everyone but me. Team was way overloaded with road games in the first half and not much on the road after the Anchorage series.

does this help break up UAH's crazy home/away stretches that UAH had?

I expect that it had to do with us flipping the home-and-home with ASU.

Former Marquette/NMU Hockey player Justin Florek signs with the Iserlohn Roosters of the German Hockey League (DEL)????
May 25th, 2017
MILWAUKEE — Former Northern Michigan hockey star Justin Florek (6'4" 210lbs) has signed a one–year contract with the German club Iserlohn Roosters of the DEL (German Hockey League). This past season, the Marquette–native spent time with the AHL’s Milwaukee Admirals, scoring 30 points off 12 goals and 18 assists in 75 games. He was drafted in the fifth round back in 2010 by the Boston Bruins, playing in six career playoffs and even scoring a goal against the Detroit Red Wings. The Roosters are coming off a season where they went (17–27) and missed out on the playoffs.
Florek joined the Admirals initial Training Camp and quickly won himself a contract. His run prior to the Admirals featured a very great résumé. He was drafted in the fifth round of the 2010 NHL Draft by the Boston Bruins where he would go on to play 4 career games in the NHL as well as 6 career games in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. He scored a goal during both of those runs in the NHL with the Bruins but his career would shift to the AHL with the Providence Bruins and then for the 2015-16 season he joined the New York Islanders organization where he played for the Bridgeport Sound Tigers.
Once Florek joined the Admirals for the 2016-17 season he seemed to be a perfect fit. And the man who enjoyed his 27th birthday yesterday managed to erase what was a rough season for him with the Sound Tigers. Florek produced 30 points (12 goals, 18 assists) in 75 games for the Admirals this past season. That’s the most goals he scored since the 2013-14 season with the Bruins in the AHL – the same season that earned him those chances in the NHL.

It's fun seeing "where are they now" from NMU alumni on Facebook, and it seems that many of them went pro in something other than sports.

From the viewpoint of the NMU/Tech rivalry, who do the Northern fans hope does not find their way to Houghton.
The rivalry has been one sided most recently with NMU handing it to us on a regular occasion before the last couple years of Tech dominance. The Tech faithful acknowledged the "impressed" feeling with the hire of Grant Potulny and expect heated games very soon once again in the WCHA and standings. Do you have impressions of who you would absolutely not want to see take the helm of your rival in order to gain the advantage of new coaches?
I was actually hoping for the same thing with the Blackhawks
Perhaps the Wings on one side and the Hawks on the other. Make it a four game road trip. More time for the wife to gamble. I was planning to catch a Knights game, if scheduled adjacent to the NMU games, regardless.

There is no particular coach NMU fans should not want. I'm sure whomever Tech hires will be capable of running a good program.
