Minnesota Hockey: Gophers Head to Penn State as Big Ten Champions!

The Minnesota Gophers men’s hockey team couldn’t quite win the Big Ten Regular Season title on their own last weekend in Madison after their loss to the Badgers on Saturday. The Gopher headed to Happy Valley this weekend knowing that just two points against the Nittany Lions would earn them the title. Now, they don’t even need that. Thanks to Ohio State’s shootout win over Michigan in Columbus on Thursday night, the Gophers officially own sole possession of the 2022-23 Big Ten regular Season Championship with four games yet to play. The Gophers have clinched the #1 overall seed in the conference tournament and earned a first round bye.
