What: National semifinal.
Faceoff: 5 p.m. Thursday

Game notes: The Wolverines are looking for their first NCAA hockey title since winning it all — in BAWH-STUN — in 1998. That team had several players go on to lengthy NHL careers; this one probably will, too, with an NCAA-record seven first-round draft picks, and 14 NHL picks overall.
