Michigan Tech Hockey Team Ranked #1 In Country

HOUGHTON--- The Michigan Tech Huskies are off to a 10-0 start for the first time in school history. And now the rest of the country is taking notice.

Tech is ranked #1 in the nation in the latest poll by US College Hockey On-Line, and the Huskies are #1 in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine Poll.

The following story is from Michigan Tech University Communications.

 This week's No. 1 team in college hockey is the undefeated Michigan Tech Huskies. After being unranked in the preseason and first three polls, Tech climbed from 17 to nine to five to one. The Huskies were last ranked No. 1 in 1976.
 

"I'm happy for our players are who are starting to gain recognition for their hard work," coach Mel Pearson said. "Like I've told them, if you're not number one you are always working towards that. Now we need to prove why we are deserving of this ranking."


The Huskies (10-0, 8-0 WCHA) are the only remaining undefeated Division I college hockey team and are off to the program's best start in the 94th season. They host No. 9-ranked Minnesota State at the John MacInnes Student Ice Arena this weekend. The puck drops at 7:07 p.m. both nights.


"It's still early in the year and we have a lot of hockey to play," added Pearson. "We have to continue to get better every day, but I think it's proof that we are doing the right things."
 

Tickets can also be purchased through the Central Ticket Office. Stop in, call 906-487-2073, or visit BuyHuskiesTickets.com to get yours now.


The 10-0 start is the best in college hockey since 2008-09 season when Air Force won its first 13 games. Michigan Tech also won 10 in a row in 1977-78 (11 wins), 1975-76 (11), 1970-71 (16), and 1961-62 (20).
