The Minnesota Gophers men’s hockey team knew it had a chance at a Big Ten regular season title as it entered the weekend. Down just two points to the Michigan Wolverines in the standings, they knew they couldn’t do it themselves but would need some help. Well, the Gophers got the best of both worlds, a sweep of the Wolverines by Notre Dame and an absolute demolishing of Wisconsin by the Gophers of levels that had not happened since the 1930s. It all came together and Saturday night the Gophers were handed the Big Ten regular Season Championship Trophy for the fifth time in nine years.
