MEEECHIGAN

Haven't mentioned much about Michigan hockey yet this season. Perhaps it's because they are clearly playing below the level that they did last year. They are also in a rare spot, 4th in the CCHA with a 5-5 conference record after being swept this weekend by Miami, who look like they are going to run away with the regular season this year. Another surprise this year is Sparty's hockey team, which is in 10th place. They've also scored an abysmal 20 goals in 10 games. Unless things turn around quickly, it looks like our state's college hockey teams will take the back seat to powerhouses like Alaska and Nebraska-Omaha.
