Believe it or not, hockey season officially starts for the Minnesota Golden Gophers this week. Minnesota opens the season Thursday night at 7:30 when they host the Penn State Nittany Lions at 3M Arena at Mariucci. It’s going to be a weird season with little to no crowds in the arenas, weeknight games, and the inevitable postponements due to COVID-19. But at least for a little bit we can be excited and look towards what will hopefully be another banner winning season in the 100th year of Gopher Hockey.
This is the first of three season preview articles on the Gophers personnel.
