The Falcons hockey team will play in their first conference championship since 1990 in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association Championship game on the road against the Michigan Tech Huskies on Saturday night.
“We’re excited,” Falcons head coach Chris Bergeron said. “It seems it’s like just another week. Obviously it’s not that, but I know our guys are really excited for this opportunity. I think they’ve gone through a lot this year to earn this opportunity-good and bad. They deserve this opportunity.”
The team was also swept by Michigan Tech in a home series earlier in the season, but the team feels it gave them a better idea of the adjustments that need to be made going into the championship game.
