So here we are at the end of the college hockey regular season. To be honest, so much of what we've seen this year has been somewhat expected. The University of North Dakota Fighting Hawks are now actually the Fighting Hawks, and to no one's surprise, some fans were just kind of ridiculous about it. The Golden Gophers of the University of Minnesota have missed some of their best leaders. And the University of Wisconsin Badgers found new ways to define failure, as they leak fans and have allowed their game to degrade more and more.
None of this is to say that the 2015-2016 year in NCAA hockey wasn't a good one.
