Hockey Teams Prepare for Home Openers

Hello, puckheads! Welcome to another edition of hockey previews. Nearly a month into the season we finally have home openers. Neither the men’s nor the women’s opponent this week is performing quite as well as expected. That may bode well for the Buckeyes.

Men

Last time out the Buckeyes leaned heavily on goaltender Matt Tomkins as they overcame penalty trouble to secure a tie and shootout win over Miami. This week Ohio State puts its undefeated record (1-0-2) on the line in a home-and-home series against another in-state rival, Bowling Green.
