Historic MacNaughton Cup Awarded to WCHA Men’s Regular Season ChampionDating back 100 years to its original purchase in 1913, handcrafted of pure silver, standing three-feet high, and weighing more than 40 pounds, the MacNaughton Cup is the shining symbol of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association and of its long-time standing as one of college hockey’s premier conferences since 1951. It is college hockey’s oldest and most valuable trophy. The MacNaughton Cup is awarded annually to the winner of the regular season championship, and as a traveling trophy, is on display throughout the course of each season at the home of the previous year’s winner. Beginning in 2005-06, the WCHA also began awarding a smaller silver replica MacNaughton Cup to the regular season champion(s) each season. The MacNaughton Cup has traveled a long and winding road since its initial purchase in 1913 by the Calumet (Michigan) and Hecla Mining Company, but officially settled into a home with the original WCHA (MCHL/WIHL) in 1951. In 1913, James MacNaughton, then president of Calumet and Hecla, Inc.,

and an avid supporter of amateur ice hockey, authorized the president of the American Amateur Hockey Association to purchase a cup (he said the price didn’t matter) and present it to the Association’s championship team at the end of the season. The first winner was a team from the Cleveland (Ohio) Athletic Club. The MacNaughton Cup remained with the AAHA until it ceased operations in 1920. From 1921 to 1950, the Cup was fought for by semi-pro and intermediate hockey aggregations in Michigan’s Copper Country. In 1951, the cup was donated by Calumet and Hecla, Inc., through the generosity of Mr. & Mrs. Endicott R. Lovell, to the newly-founded Midwest Collegiate Hockey League, forerunner of the WCHA. Lovell, president of the company at that time and the son-in-law of James MacNaughton, was also a ardent supporter of amateur hockey. The MCHL chose – in the original spirit – to award the trophy to its regular season champion. The MacNaughton Cup remained a part of the MCHL/WIHL until the league disbanded in March of 1958 for one year. In 1959-60, the seven original teams resumed formal competition under the name Western Collegiate Hockey Association. The MacNaughton Cup has gone to the league’s regular season winner on all but seven occasions since 1951. From 1962-65, the MacNaughton Cup was presented to the league playoff winner. In 1981-82, 1982-83 and 1983-84, the trophy left the league with Cup custodian Michigan Tech and was presented to the champion of the CCHA.

Broadmoor Trophy Awarded to WCHA Playoff/Final Five ChampionThe second of the WCHA’s two major championship trophies for men’s competition is the Broadmoor Trophy, which has been awarded annually since 1985 to the winner of the conference’s post-season championship tournament. The history of the Broadmoor Trophy dates to 1981, when it was first presented to the conference by the world-renowned Broadmoor Hotel and Resort Complex of Colorado Springs, Colo. For the first three seasons of its partnership with the WCHA (1981-1984) – and due to the departure of league member and MacNaughton Cup (regular season championship trophy) custodian Michigan Tech to the CCHA – the Broadmoor Trophy was presented to the Association’s regular season champion. But when the Huskies returned to the WCHA in 1984 – with the MacNaughton Cup in hand – the Broadmoor Trophy became, and has remained since, the symbol of the league’s post-season tournament championship. In March of 2010, in conjunction with the annual WCHA Final Five, the Association unveiled a striking new Broadmoor Trophy. The new bronze cast trophy, created by Blue Ribbon Trophies & Awards of Colorado Springs, Colo., is a recreation of the famous Broadmoor Hotel. Long an ardent supporter of college hockey, the Broadmoor Hotel included the former Broadmoor World Arena, which hosted the NCAA Ice Hockey Championship a total of 11 times between 1948 and 1969. There are a total of three Broadmoor trophies. The largest has been on display in recent years at Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul in conjunction

WCHA’s Jeff Sauer Leading U.S. Sled Hockey Team at 2014 Paralympic Winter Games in Sochi, RussiaTeam USA Looking to Defend 2010 Paralympic Gold Medal; Advances to Medal Round

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The 2014 U.S. Paralympic Sled Hockey Team, coached by Jeff Sauer, was featured in a one-hour documentary entitled “Ice Warriors: USA Sled Hockey,” on Feb. 24 on PBS. The program followed Team USA across North America as it was preparing to defend its 2010 Paralympic gold medal at the 2014 Paralympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. The show is also available online in its entirety beginning Feb. 25. The 2014 Paralympic Winter Games are taking place March 7-16 in Sochi, Russia. All U.S. games are being streamed live at TeamUSA.org. NBC and NBC Sports Network will also have Paralympics coverage. As of Monday (March 10), Team USA was 2-0 in the preliminary round, defeating Italy 5-1 on March 8 and then Korea 3-0 on March 9. USA Knocks Off Korea, 3-0, in Paralympic Prelims By USAHockey.comSOCHI, Russia – Adam Page (Lancaster, NY) scored twice, Dan McCoy (Cheswick, PA) tallied a pair of assists and goaltender Steve Cash (Overland, MM) turned away nine shots to help the U.S. Paralympic Sled Hockey Team defeat South Korea, 3-0, in its second preliminary-round game of the 2014 Paralympic Winter Games at Shayba Arena. The victory guarantees Team USA a spot in the medal round. The U.S. can clinch the top seed in Group B against Russia on Tuesday (March 11). The United States jumped out to a 2-0 first-period lead on goals by Taylor Chace (Hampton Falls, NH) and Page. Just :57 seconds into the contest, Chace intercepted a Korea clearing attempt inside the offensive blue line and fired a low shot through traffic from the top of the left circle and under the sled of goaltender Man-Gyun Yu. Then, at 11:51, Page batted a rebound between Yu and the nearside post to double the U.S. lead. After Team USA dumped the puck into the right corner, Greg Shaw (Merritt Island, FL) knocked a Korean off the puck, allowing Page to swoop in and send a centering pass to McCoy at the edge of the crease. McCoy’s shot was stopped, but Page was there to convert on the rebound try. Page and McCoy hooked up again late in the middle frame to boost the U.S. lead to three goals. Following a Korean shot that was directed into the corner by Cash, McCoy sent a long pass to Page streaking through the neutral zone. Page wheeled around a Korean defenseman, deked left and slipped the puck under Yu’s sled. Cash recorded the secondary assist on the play. Neither team found the back of the net in the third period despite good scoring chance both ways. The U.S. Paralympic Sled Hockey Team will conclude its preliminary-round schedule against Russia Tuesday (March 11) at 8:30 am ET. The game will be streamed live on TeamUSA.org with a rebroadcast available on NBC Sports Network at 3 pm ET.

For Playoff Seeding OnlyIn regular-season competition, each Western Collegiate Hockey Association team shall accumulate points from each WCHA contest (i.e., a contest between teams representing two WCHA member institutions played as part of the conference schedule), receiving two points for each game won in regulation time or overtime, and one point for each game tied at the conclusion of overtime. The team accumulating the greatest number of points in regular-season WCHA contests shall be the WCHA Champion. If two or more teams are tied for the Championship, they shall be considered co-champions.

Seeding for the WCHA TournamentIf two or more teams have accumulated the same number of points shall be determined according to the following procedure: A) If two or more teams are tied, and all teams tied have played four contests against one another, then the team with the most accumulated points from these head to head contests will be granted the higher seed. B) If two or more teams are still tied (or all teams tied have not played four contests against one another) the highest seed will go to the team with the greater number of conference wins. C) If not determined by A) or B) above, the recipient of the highest seed shall be determined by comparison of the winning percentages of the teams tied, against the remaining highest ranked WCHA team successively, until the determination is accomplished, or all WCHA contests have been considered. In the event of multiple ties within the standings that become dependent on one another for determination, the procedure shall be applied to the highest tie first, using combined winning percentage against all teams involved in the lower tie(s) and continuing through the order if needed. If this fails to break the highest tie, the procedure shall be applied to the next highest tie (and so on if needed), using combined winning percentage against all tied teams as needed when proceeding through the standings. D) If not determined by A), or B), or C), the recipient of the higher seed will be determined by “winning margin” during conference contests. “Winning margin” = WCHA conference goals for minus WCHA conference goals against. In the event of multiple ties within the standings that reach this step, the procedure shall be applied first to the highest tie in the standings. If this fails to break the highest tie, the procedure shall be applied to the next highest tie (and so on if needed) until any tie is broken and all procedures are re-started. E) If not determined by A), or B), or C), or D), the recipient of the higher seed shall be determined by the flip of a coin. In the event of multiple ties within the standings that reach this step, the procedure shall be applied first to the highest tie in the standings after which all procedures are re-started. In the case of ties among three or more schools, the criteria will be used in order until a team, or teams, is separated from the top of the pack. At that point, the process will begin anew to break the “new” tie. In other words, when a three-way tie becomes a two-way tie, the two-way tie is treated as a “new” tie and the process begins with the first criterion.

WCHA Team Notebooks

• Alabama Huntsville wrapped up the 2013-14 season this past weekend with a 2-35-1 record (2-24-1 WCHA), dropping a pair of games to then playoff-hopeful Northern Michigan. UAH lost 4-1 last Friday night before losing 5-2 on Saturday evening. NMU moved up to the No. 7 seed thanks to those victories.• The Charger hockey program said goodbye to four seniors, who displayed extreme dedication, commitment and resiliency over their four-year careers in the blue and white. Graduating will be Alex Allan, Mat Hagen, CJ Groh and Brice Geoffrion.• UAH was outscored this season 166-41, or 4.4 to 1.1 per game. They scored 30 of their 41 goals in WCHA play. The team went 0-15-1 at home, winning their only two games on the road finishing with a 2-19-0 record away from home.• The 1.08 goals per game ranked last in the WCHA and the 4.37 goals allowed also was 10th. UAH was also 10th in both power-play percentage (8.8%) and penalty-kill percentage (70.5%).• Jack Prince would finish with the team lead in points, after he scored two goals last Saturday against Northern Michigan. Prince’s final line was 8-5=13 after appearing in 33 game this season. Prince finished with nine points in the final 10 games of the year, by far the most of any other Charger.• In terms of games played, the top seven will all return next season. Cody Marooney served as the team’s ironman as the only player to see ice time in all 38 games. Fellow-freshmen Regan Soquila and Brent Fletcher each appeared in 37 games.• The team will return 94% of its point production from this season, with Alex Allan’s seven points the only missing link. The top four point scorers, and only four in double digits, are all underclassmen. Prince, Salhany, Koshey and Brears make up for three sophomores and one freshman.• UAH will return a pair of talented freshman goaltenders in Matt Larose and Carmine Guerriero. The pair saw invaluable action this season, combin-ing to appear in 41 games and over 2000:00 minutes played. Despite only two wins between the two, they both improved as the season went on, upping both their save percentage and dropping their GAA.• The program will bring in nine or 10 freshmen again next season, as it attempts to rebuild in a loaded conference. Head Coach Mike Corbett will return for his second season as head coach of the Chargers.

• Alaska Anchorage will return to Fairbanks, for the WCHA First Round, as the Seawolves and Nanooks square off for the fifth, sixth and possibly seventh time this season. The in-state rivals meet in the postseason following a weekend split, where UAF won 7-2 on March 7 and UAA won 3-1 on March 8. The weekend also doubled as the finale of the Alaska Airlines Governor’s Cup, which UAF won in a shootout (2-1) after the teams tied, 2-2. UAF now leads the Cup record, 13-8 and has won a record-tying five straight. Overall, the Seawolves lead the all-time series record, 84-56-11 and at UAF, 35-34-6.• UAA will make the trek back to Fairbanks in less than 71 hours after departing on March 9. This weekend will mark the second time the teams have met in the postseason – the teams met March 7, 1992, with UAA winning, 4-3 in overtime at the NCAA D1 Independents postseason tournament in Fairbanks.• UAA is 6-39 overall in the WCHA First Round and has never played a postseason game in Alaska since 1992.• In Fairbanks, UAA picked up its 16th win of the season – easily surpassing the win total from the last two years combined (13). With the win on March 8, UAA tied the 2010-11 team that set a program-best 16 wins as WCHA member. UAA’s 12 WCHA wins tied the 2010-11 season, the second most ever for a Seawolf team – the Seawolves posted a program-best 14 WCHA wins in 1993-94.• At home, the Seawolves finished 11-3-2 (.75) – the UAA’s best home record since joining the WCHA and the best since 1991-92 when UAA went 17-5-1 (.76).• UAA is 12-4-2 when scoring first, 10-0-0 when leading after the first and 10-0-1 when leading after the 2nd.• Over the March 7-8 weekend, the Seawolves were led by their top line of senior F Matt Bailey, and juniors F Scott Allen and F Brett Cameron. The trio combined for the Seawolves’ 8-of-13 points over the weekend. Bailey produced a three point weekend with a goal and two assists, while Allen posted a goal and two assists and Cameron contributed with two goals. Bailey leads UAA with 18 goals and 35 points – breaking 30 points for the first time of his career. Bailey – who was named to the Brice Alaska Goal Rush All-Tournament Team – leads all current UAA skaters with 45 career goals, good for a tie at No. 19 on the UAA all-time list. The last Seawolf to produce 45 points was Tommy Grant (2007-11). Bailey’s 91 career points rank No. 25 on the all-time UAA list as he strives to be the 23rd Seawolf to reach 100 career points. The Winnipeg, Manitoba, native has registered 25 points in the last 22 games. With the game-winning goal on Feb. 15, Bailey is tied for No. 2 in the nation with 6 GWGs.• Allen, who missed five games with an injury this season, has 28 points this season – easily bypassing his junior season (19 pts) and tied with senior F Jordan Kwas for second among team. Allen’s 16 goals this season is also a career high and second on the team, while he has nine points in the last six games (4-5=9). • Following the weekend, Cameron has 20 points on the season, also a career high, having just furnished 13 during the 2011-12 season … Cameron’s nine goals match his freshman and sophomore seasons combined … Cameron enters the weekend with a career-high three-game goal streak … scoreless over the weekend was Kwas – who was named the Kendall Hockey Classic’s Most Outstanding Player –… Kwas is tied with Allen with a team high five power-play goals … Kwas has 86 career points, good for a tie at No. 30 on the all-time UAA list … additionally, the Seawolves received a goal on March 7 from freshman F Brad Duwe – his fourth of the season … picking up an assist on March 8 was junior D Austin Coldwell … Coldwell leads the UAA blueliners with 4-12–16 totals … also collecting a helper was sophomore F Blake Tatchell … UAA’s leading scorer a year ago, Tatchell leads the Seawolves this season with a career-high 19 assists … splitting time in the crease against the Nanooks were senior goaltenders Chris Kamal and Rob Gunderson … Gunderson is 8-6-2 on the season, while Kamal is 6-6-1 … Kamal’s shutout on Dec. 14 vs. LSSU gives him the second most all-time for a Seawolf (5), trailing Doug Teskey’s seven from 1996-99.

WCHA M Release • Week 23 • 031014

• Alaska (17-13-4, 14-12-2 WCHA) wrapped up a home playoff series and the league’s No. 3 seed for the WCHA postseason after splitting the final two games of the regular season against rival Alaska Anchorage.• This week’s best-of-three series at the Carlson Center will be against the same team it just played in UAA as the Seawolves secured the No. 6 seed by splitting in Fairbanks over the weekend. The series will take place March 13-15.• Alaska won last Friday’s outing convincingly by a 7-2 score while UAA came back to win Saturday’s game 3-1.• The two teams split the season series, 2-2, and to determine the 2014 champion of the Alaska Airlines Governor’s Cup, a shootout decided who would take the Cup. Colton Beck and Colton Parayko both scored while Sean Cahill stopped two of three UAA shots to keep the cup in Fairbanks for the fifth straight year and for the 13th time in the event's 21-year history.• In last Friday’s win, which clinched the league’s No. 3 slot, Cody Kunyk went off for a career-high four goals, becoming the fourth collegian this season to accomplish such a feat in Alaska’s 7-2 win over the Seawolves. Tyler Morley also scored twice while Trevor Campbell scored once and added a pair of assists in the win. Three others recorded two assists each.• Last Saturday night, Rob Gunderson made 30 saves in nets and UAA used a pair of first-period goals to pace the Seawolves in the 3-1 win. Garrick Perry scored the lone goal for Alaska and it saw its seven-game win streak come to an end with the loss.• At the conclusion of the regular season, Cody Kunyk finished with the league lead in both goals (22) and points (42) for all games as he moved into 13th all-time on the program’s career scoring list with 132 points (60-72=132). Kunyk is the first Nanook to record reach the 20-goal mark in a season since Kyle Greentree had 21 in 2006-07 and was the first Alaska player to reach 22 or more since Jeff Trembecky had 24 in 1996-97. Kunyk is also the first 40-point scorer in a season since Dion Knelsen (43) and Andy Taranto (42) in the 2009-10 season – which is also the same year the Nanooks made their only NCAA Division 1 tournament appearance.• Other WCHA scoring leaders (all games) include Colton Beck and Tyler Morley who both rank in the top six. Beck is fourth with 36 points on 13 goals and a second-best 23 assists while Morley is tied for sixth with 34 points on 17 goals and 17 assists.• Colton Parayko leads all WCHA defenders with 23 points in 34 games on four goals and a tie for a defenseman league-high 19 helpers and Michael Quinn is tied for sixth among defenseman with 21 points on two goals and a matching 19 helpers.• Marcus Basara is the second-leading rookie in the league with 24 points on 11 goals and 13 assists as well.• Sean Cahill finished as the team’s top goaltender during the regular season with a 9-4-1 record. He is second with a 2.28 goals-against average to go with his .906 save percentage.• The Nanooks led the league with 3.47 goals per game after lighting the lamp 118 times in their 34 games.• They have the third-best power-play, with an 18.7% success rate and are fifth on the penalty-kill at 84.5%.• Due to a conflict with the Arctic Winter Games at the Carlson Center, the first round WCHA playoff series was pushed up a day and will be the lone league series to start on Thursday. The puck drops at 7:07 pm AT for each first round contest.

The senior class provided the early spark and accounted for all of FSU’s scoring in helping the Bulldogs to the win. Thompson struck early in the opening stanza for the Bulldogs with his 15th goal of the year only 1:03 into the game off a feed from fellow senior captain Czarnowczan. That helped set the tone for the night as the Bulldogs took the early 1-0 lead. Czarnowczan then found the back of the net himself for the Bulldogs’ second goal less than a minute later at 1:54 of the opening frame off an assist from forward DeMar-tino. The two goals accounted for all the Bulldog scoring would need as junior goaltender CJ Motte shut made 24 saves in moving to 24-7-3 on the season.• With the victory, the Bulldogs moved to 25-9-3 overall this season and finished with a 20-6-2 league record. The 25 total wins to date represent the fourth-most in a single season in school history.• On a night in which the Bulldogs honored and recognized its five-member senior class, FSU recorded its 85th win over the last four years.

He needs only one more win to catch Pat Nagle for second place on the all-time chart. Motte’s 24 total wins in net this season rank as the second-best seasonal figure in school history behind the 30 wins posted by Mike Brown in the memorable 2002-03 campaign.• The Bulldogs’ 20 league wins this campaign trailed only the 22 victories recorded by the 2002-03 CCHA Championship team for the most conference wins in a single campaign in school history.• The Bulldogs, who captured the MacNaughton Cup as the WCHA’s regular season champions, will be the tournament’s top seed and host a best-of-three first round series Friday thru Sunday, March 14-15 and 16 (if necessary), at the Ewigleben Ice Arena in Big Rapids against eighth-seeded Bemidji State.

The Lakers capped their first season as members of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association tied with Bemidji State for eighth in the standings; however the Beavers received the playoff spot because of a better head-to-head record.• The Lakers were only able to muster two goals against Ferris State last weekend while senior goaltender Kevin Kapalka (9-9-1) kept the Lakers close in the pair of 2-1 losses.• Senior Colin Campbell (14-15=29) scored the Lakers’ only two goals over the March 7-8 weekend, both coming in the second period. Last Friday night’s goal was assisted by another senior, Dan Radke (6-20=26), who also finished up a terrific career for the Lakers last weekend. Campbell also scored in the second game of the series, this one also coming in the second period, but this time it was a shorthanded strike.• The Lakers must now say goodbye to eight senior players who have served as leaders on the ice and on campus. Among them they lose three goaltenders Kapalka, Kevin Murdock (7-10-0), and Niels Erik-Ravn (0-0-0).

The Huskies are 6-6-2 on the season against the league and 3-1-1 in their last five road games.• Last Saturday’s (March 8) Michigan Tech-Minnesota State game ended in a 1-1 tie, marking the Huskies’ seventh tie of the season. That matches the highest number of deadlocks played by a Tech team in the program’s 93 years. Eleven of Michigan Tech’s 38 games went to overtime. The Huskies were 2-2-7 in those contests.• Michigan Tech is 3-2 in its last five WCHA First Round Playoff games dating back to the end of the 2011-12 season.
