well less than 24 hours from now A ccha Champion will be crowned at the Sanford Center neither Michigan Tech or buiji state will Hoist the Mason cup and punch their ticket to the NCAA tournament the two teams split their first series in Momiji back in November then in January the huskys won the first game of the series in hotton and BSU has not lost a contest in the ccha since including the tie that wrapped up the series with Michigan Tech the beavers have gone unbeaten in their last 12 Conferen
ce games three of which were in the playoffs at the press conference today the beaves explained what has helped fuel this run I mean I feel like we've been playing playoffs for a while here now going back all the way to even Northern Michigan it felt like right when I came back from injury that game we were talking even after the first game that night that it felt like a playoff game and we were battling for the MCN cup so it just it feels like feels like any other day now um obviously there's a
trophy on the line on Friday but uh yeah I mean the preparation's the same going back two months from now I feel like every every game's been meaningful to us so kind of handle it all the same but obviously now it's a little bigger bigger stage and you gotta handle the nerves week by week but I think we've done a good job of that so yeah I think we're ready to go now this year's hot streak has drawn parallels to a buiji State team from the past the 2009 Squad that made the Frozen Four in Washin
gton DC and as it happens that was also the last BSU men's hockey team to win a regular season and Conference tournament Championship that 09 run we had when we went to the Frozen Four was a and again I don't necessarily know exactly what our record was the last 12 games 13 games or anything like that I just know that we were hotter in a pistol but I did look back the one characteristic that's the same in all those teams and I'll say it is leadership and it's not necessarily just the guys wearin
g the letters too I mean it's a collective group and you just can't win with great leadership you need a great core and you need a great group and you need a group that's unselfish a group that obviously again their mindset is that they'll sacrifice offense they'll block a shot they'll do whatever they need to do to win and when that becomes more important than the personal goals you know you're in pretty good shape well for all the talk about the Beavers streak the huskys are on one of their ow
n they're six they've won six their last seven there's a look at tomorrow's game Michigan Tech receiving votes number 20 beiji state for all the marbles and a chance to go to the NCAA tournament that game starts at 7 and it is completely sold out well that is very impressive and good luck to Bidi State thank you Charlie Lakeland news is member supported content please consider supporting Lakeland news today
