HOUGHTON, Mich. – The Michigan Tech hockey team is ranked No. 18 in this week's DCU/USCHO.com Top 20 poll. The Huskies are 12-8-1 overall this season and 9-5 in the CCHA, positioning themselves third in the conference standings.

The No. 18-ranked Huskies host Bemidji State for a CCHA series at the MacInnes Student Ice Arena this weekend. The Huskies and Beavers will meet at 7:07 p.m. Friday and 6:07 p.m. Saturday. Friday is Faculty and Staff Appreciation Night and Saturday is Junior Hockey Night where youth can get into the game for free with their jersey and a paid adult ticket.
Earlier this season on November 19-20, the Huskies split at Bemidji State. Tech won 4-3 Friday and the Beavers won 4-3 Saturday. Tristan Ashbrook scored twice Friday with Ryland Mosley, Tommy Parrottino, Arvid Caderoth, Brett Thorne, and Michael Karow also finding the back of the net in the series.
