Blugold men's hockey keeping broom handy for possible second sweep in a row

Allan Brown Sports, The Leader-Telegram, Eau Claire, Wis.

Jan. 24—With a clear eye on the conference championship, the Blugolds' men's hockey team, fresh off a weekend sweep of Superior, now looks to keep those brooms handy when Northland comes to town this weekend.

Despite the Ashland college's 1-18 overall record, UWEC will not look past the Northland squad as the Blugolds continue their all-Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Association (WIAC) schedule, which will end with the War on 94 on ice against Stout the second weekend in February before the conference tournament eventually commences.
