Minneapolis, Minn. — Freshman Logan Cooley stole the spotlight in the Gopher hockey team’s 4-0 season opening win against the Lindenwood Lions.
The third overall pick by the Arizona Coyotes in the 2022 NHL Draft, Cooley got the best of the Lions in their first Division I hockey appearance with a two-goal, three-point night in his collegiate debut with the Gophers.
“It felt awesome, I mean, practicing on it for the past few weeks before the game also helped,” Cooley said about practicing on the home rink after playing some international hockey.
