The University of North Dakota Men’s Hockey Team faces its first taste of single-elimination hockey this weekend in the NCHC Frozen Faceoff.
The Fighting Hawks contend against the Denver University Pioneers. UND has not won against Denver in four attempts this season. This team is full of skilled players up and down the lineup. Troy Terry, a winger, plays a speedy brand of hockey and has a knack for finding the net. Whenever he plays UND he seems to find his way into the action. The Anaheim Ducks prospect also is a skilled stick handler as shown by his strong moves in the 2017 World Junior Championships. Terry has a strong cast along side him, including Henrik Bjorgstrom, Will Butcher, and others.
For UND to win it needs to play like it did Friday against St. Cloud. This means three things.
- Play a strong, physical 60 minute game.
- Get consistent goaltending from Cam Johnson in all three periods.
- Fire the puck at the net a lot. Denver is good at blocking shots and UND needs to out chance Denver in order to win.
