HOUGHTON — With a 6-3 loss on Friday followed by a 5-3 win Saturday, the Michigan Tech Huskies hockey team made a statement last weekend against the then-No. 8 Minnesota Golden Gophers, a new era of Huskies hockey is here.

“I thought Friday, give Minnesota credit,” said Huskies coach Bill Muckalt. “They’re a skilled team, a lot of skill, high end talent. We just made too many mistakes. We fell apart in the third period. We got away from our structure, identity, and made some mistakes. They capitalized.

“But, it was, overall, a really exciting weekend. (I) loved the response in our group on Saturday. Great environment, it was good to see our fans there and travel, but (I’m) really proud of our group. Not just the result, but it’s how we played on Saturday, how we responded.”
