The bad season meant the end of the line for Head Coach Rick Colmely, as Comley stepped down after his ninth season at the helm for the Spartans. Tomorrow's game will be the first for new Head Coach and former CCHA Commissioner Tom Anastos.

Why is Patrick Wey on the third D parings tonight?
ReplyDeletematt this a good question i simply do not know why. He clearly struggled tonight with a -2 plus minus. He is one of veteran dman, and is playing with Issac Macleod who is just a sophomore. The coaches clearly want to spread around Dumoulin, Cross, and Wey because they are better and more experienced then Shea,Alber,and Macleod. I do not believe it has a lot to do with the skill of Pat Wey, more to spread around the experience and talent.
