Bowling Green hockey preps for 'gold standard' Minnesota State

BOWLING GREEN — The first goal on Bowling Green’s list this season was to win the Western Collegiate Hockey Association.

And for any program hoping to win the league, that goal starts with one objective: Beating Minnesota State.

The two programs met in the WCHA championship game last year — a stunning Minnesota State comeback — and split the first two meetings earlier this season. Now comes a two-game series Friday and Saturday at Slater Family Ice Arena, six possible points that will play a key role in determining seeding in the WCHA playoffs.

No. 15-ranked Bowling Green believes it can challenge for the top of the conference, but there is no doubting that No.
