He was joined on the all-tournament team by Wayne Weller, defensemen Pete Leiman and Dennis Huculak and Hockey Hall of Fame goalie Tony Esposito. Coached by John MacInnes, the squad posted a 24-5-2 overall record and claimed the WCHA championship en route to the Huskies' second national championship in school history. Weller led the team during the season in scoring with 45 points on 26 goals and 19 assists.
