Another season of Buckeye hockey is in the books. 2015-16 was Ohio State’s third Big Ten campaign and its third under the management of head coach Steve Rohlik. It seems like a good time to kind of take the pulse of the program. Read ahead for ruminations on the past season and the current State of the Puck.
I feel like this is the year in which we finally saw a total shift to Steve Rohlik hockey. The high tempo transition game is more akin to what you see from top teams like Michigan and Minnesota than the slow grind we commonly saw in the CCHA.
