The Michigan Wolverines’ hockey team ended the Great Lakes Invitational by playing one less game than originally thought, and it ended with their first scoreless tie in 67 years.
Due to having five players absent at the World Juniors Championships (which was also canceled), the Thursday contest was canceled against Western Michigan.
But Wednesday’s game against Michigan Tech marked a scoreless tie for the first time since 1954 for the Wolverines. Erik Portillo stopped a penalty shot in overtime to keep U-M in it, but the offense was missing four of it’s top five scorers.
