The University of Michigan Wolverines’ hockey team lost to North Dakota in its first game of the NCAA tournament, 8-5. UND will face Minnesota in the West Regional final.
Twice the Wolverines had a lead of two goals, but they were unable to hang on as time winded down at the Pepsi Center in Denver.
Not only will the Wolverines lose seven seniors due to graduation, but I’ve heard from a close friend of his that Jack Johnson will be heading to LA now and could be there by March 27th.
Other NCAA tournament updates: Michigan State beat No. 1 ranked Notre Dame, 2-1, to advance to the Frozen Four. MSU is the first CCHA team since 2003 to make it to the Frozen Four. Wings’ prospect Justin Abdelkader notched an assist for MSU in the third period against the Fighting Irish.
