  • Northern Michigan University Wildcat 2021-2022 Hockey Thread

    I kept waiting for somebody to get this going, so I guess I will. I have heard nothing down here, any updates on the Cats? How we looking this year?

    Don't know much myself as I live 8 hours away. Just looking forward to seeing NMU at the February series down in BG - provided schools don't start severely limiting the number of fans in the rink (see RPI).

      I guess I will make one last attempt to get the Cat fans back on board. We have those guys to the west this weekend. We are coming off a couple good games with Boston U, but it didn't really help us much, so this weekend is pivotal. GO CATS!!!

        Question. Has BU ever played a series in the UP before last week?
        MTU: Three time NCAA champions.

          Yes. Back in the 80s the WCHA and Hockey East had a joint schedule agreement. I believe the last time BU was in Marquette was around 1988.

            Dec 28-29, 1984; NMU won 4-2 & 6-5 in OT and Jan 8 1988; NMU won 7-3.

            NMU is 3-2-1 in Boston and the teams are 1-1-1 on neutral ice.

              I am not saying I remember it, but I was at that game in 84. I had season tickets and never missed. Probably don't remember because of the Donor Room.

                It used to be that BU made regular appearances at the GLi and that's really the only place i've seen them. They had a few fans too.

                  My daughter, a grad student at NMU, went to the game last night and relayed this exchange:

                  We sat next to this tech fan probably in his 30-40s and when they score their first goal he leaned over to us and asked if we were okay. So when we scored our 2nd I said back are you okay. And at the OT game winner he just looked at Haley and I and said this is what is whiskey for

                    We normally split this series. A sweep would be huge. GO CATS!!!

                      Friday's game was the best I've seen NMU play in some time. They will be tough going forward for everyone except mankato.

                        Should have had 6 points this weekend. A little bad luck with some less than stellar defense cost is a point. All due respect to Ferris. They are better than their record shows.

                          Ultimately, I prefer the overlooked roll, but I'm really hoping Northern can jump on Duluth & make some noise & surprise this weekend.

                          Northern went 6-1-1 in November, is 5th nationally in Goals Per Game, 9th nationally in Power Play Percentage, and has 2 of the top 10 national goal scoring leaders (Vanderbeck with 12 & Colella with 11). Half of their losses are to top 8 teams (2 to #2 Minnesota State & 1 to #8 Notre Dame). The other 3 are to teams just outside the top 20 - BSU (which were close) and Tech.

                          Duluth is not a strong offensive team, averaging just 2.79 GPG to Northern's 4.07. Defense, which is the biggest concern (Duluth allows just 1.57 gpg to Northern's 3.73) has to step up this weekend.

                            I appreciate the information. I was just jumping on to see how Duluth was doing this year, and you certainly summed it up. I know what I am doing Friday night. Hoping for a great series.
