FYI - I was informed this morning that former Michigan Tech Husky (1992-94)and LSSU Laker (1995-97) Mitch Lane passed away after a prolonged battle with cancer.

Still no GLI on the team schedule with less than 3 weeks until the season begins. Also not listed on the LCA schedule of events, and no tickets available on Ticketmaster yet. Been two months since the details were supposed to be made public.

Maybe they're still hammering out the new ticket pricing scheme?

Just got this email about our new captains.

HOUGHTON, Mich. – Michigan Tech head hockey coach Joe Shawhan has named Brent Baltus the captain of the 2017-18 Huskies. Joel L'Esperance, Dylan Steman, Jake Lucchini, and Mitch Reinke will serve as alternate captains.
 
Re: Michigan Tech 17-18 Preseason - MacNaughton, Broadmoor... What's this year bringi

Joe talked on the JSH about captain selection. Said that while he has the final decision, the players do get a voice and are usually in agreement.

It was encouraging to hear that Steman looks very good in the early practices. Him and Baltus staying healthy and getting on the stat sheet early, will go a long way towards setting the tone.

Joe also mentioned that they've worked on tightening up the D. He feels they relied too heavily on all the back-end talent the past couple of seasons, and have played a little too loose as a result. Similarly, with all the winning they've done in the last 3 years, a bit too much complacency has crept in with some guys, and he wants to see the fire and compete level from that 10-0 start during his first year as an assistant.

Recruiting was discussed, and it's clear that he wants to honor our commitments going forward, however the type of player that we recruit won't change. At this point, if you look at our roster we really only have room to recruit "maybe 3 more defensemen" for the next 3-4 incoming classes. Mentioned that the proposed new transfer rules are likely a byproduct of all the early commitments and stockpiling that is going on.

They briefly talked about scheduling. No mention of the GLI at all.

On BG's website it shows 1/1 - 1/4. It doesn't say it's tentative but...

Looks like Packy Munson will be our transferring goalie, per THG. He has at least two years of eligibility left, and can play immediately.

Packy's got the makings to be an outstanding goalie! Nice pickup for you guys. Wish he were still at UVM!

Well the tourney is certain not to last four days and none of those are good for attendance. They need to get it back in December. I guess it is a small positive that they haven't announced the dates as being in Jan. Hopefully they are still battling to get the tourney played in Dec as usual.

Re: Michigan Tech 17-18 Preseason - New Jersey Talk

Since coach let the Husky out of the kennel during his last radio show that there will be a new jersey design this season (Scout's honor I did NOT send in that question) I figured I would follow up on what coach discussed. I was really hoping that Tech would get their new Husky logo on this ice this season, but that doesn't seem to be the plan. I think Tech has some nice new logos to work with and over the summer I threw together a concept jersey just for fun. Maybe next season we'll see something like this...<center><img width=800 src="http://www.johnsonsjerseys.net/temp/mtu-concept-2017.jpg"></center>
What appears to actually be in the works for this season is a throwback jersey design based on the 1932-33 season. The jersey below on the left is displayed in the JMSIA, on the upper level behind the suites. If you've never had the chance to walk up there, I highly recommend it. There are some very rare Huskies jerseys on display. Anyway from what I have heard and seen, the new jersey for this season will be a very close match to that 1932-33 design. The most noticeable changes being that the white stripes will be more of a cream color and the neckline will be a modern V-cut. (If they were going to change up the neckline, I thought a lace-up style might have been a better fit.) The jerseys should be supplied by Reebok as they have been since 2012 however they may now be branded as CCM to better align with the rest of the player gear which already displays CCM branding.

Until we actually see them for the first time you can regard this all as hearsay, but hopefully the US Hockey Hall of Fame game vs Wisconsin would the logical place to pull them out for the first time. (The last time Tech had the honor of opening the season with the USHOF game vs MN, they designed and wore the throwback jersey on the right.

Tick-tock, tick-tock... just days away now.

Nice work on the concept jersey. I think a silver & black jersey would be awesome.

I was hoping that this season's new jersey would be a throw back to the Michigan College of Mines jersey. Guess I have to keep pushing that..
 
Re: Michigan Tech 17-18 Preseason - MacNaughton, Broadmoor... What's this year bringi

word is the line of Lucchini, L'Esperance, and Jackson is looking really good in practice.

I just thought the neutral silver color really makes the new logo stand out nicely. I don't recall that Tech has ever had a silver jersey either.

Historical Trivia - When Tech opened the 1993-94 season wearing the white arched "Michigan Tech" throwbacks, it was the first time the Huskies wore something other than the traditional script "Huskies" on the front of their jerseys since...? I don't know the answer, but it had been decades, maybe dating all the way back to when the team was first named the Huskies? I would love to know the answer to this question.

Adidas Group is currently divesting CCM. It would be likely that newer jerseys may sport the Adidas name like the NHL rather than Reebok as they've moved out of the hockey business.
