It was a good hockey regular season for Western Michigan University last year, what with being nationally ranked for much of it, having a 20-13-1 record and earning a first-round home site for the National Collegiate Hockey Conference quarterfinals.
Then that good feeling came crashing down in a matter of three days when the Broncos were upset by Colorado College in three games in that first round, which meant seniors-to-be Dawson DiPietro, Wade Allison and Hugh McGing all had a huge decision to make.
Go pro or stay for one more season?
