The Falcons are playing with a chance to take home the Western Collegiate Hockey Association regular season championship, which they can achieve with a sweep of Alabama Huntsville and a sweep of the Minnesota State Mavericks by the Bemidji State Beavers. That series is also taking place on Friday and Saturday.
“This time of year, we want to be playing our best hockey,” Falcons’ head coach Chris Bergeron said. “We’ve got something to play for this weekend and that’s the focus. We’ve wrapped up home ice (for the playoffs), which we wanted to do, so now that’s not the focus.
