For the 2005-06 season the ‘Cats were 22-16-2 overall and 14-12-2 in the CCHA,which was good for a fourth-place tie withNebraska-Omaha.

“We lost a very good group of seniors,but also a number of guys who played alot of minutes for us,” said Walt Kyle, whois entering his fifth season at Northern ashe is 87-60-15. “With the changing of theguard, we changed people and theminutes they get, but also the leadershiphas changed.” Kyle also think there are alot of questions and he feels time will tellthe answers.

Pat Bateman is the captain for the 2006-07team and Darin Olver and Zach Tarkirassistant captains. A big loss, accordingto Kyle, is Nathan Oystrick (9-20-29), whowas a two-time all-conference selection.Oystrick tied for 12th in the country lastyear in points per game for a defenseman.Dirk Southern (11-23-34) who was secondon the team in points last year will bemissed on the offensive end. Also gone isAndrew Contois (16-15) who led the ‘Catswith 16 goals, seven power-play goals andwas fourth on the squad with 31 points.Geoff Waugh (0-7-7), who was Oystrick’slinemate, has graduated.

The other departed letterwinners are JamieMilam (7-22-29), Patrick Murphy (4-3-7)and Matt Ciancio (1-3-4) at the forwardspots. Defenseman John Miller (1-2-3)and goalie Derek Janzen, who has decidedto return to the junior ranks. He appearedin nine games was 4-4-0 with a 3.12 goals-against average and a .866 savepercentage.

NMU took care of Nebraska-Omaha in theCCHA playoffs in two straight after the2005-06 regular season. The Maverickshad swept the ‘Cats in Marquette about amonth earlier by scores of 2-1 and 8-3.NMU lost to Miami in the CCHAsemifinals and then dropped the third-place game to Michigan.

Defensively last year’s ‘Cats were 19th inthe country in scoring defense (2.60). InCCHA action, NMU was tied for sixth withAlaska in goals allowed (2.82). Thepenalty kill unit was ranked 16th nationally(.852) and fourth in the CCHA (.849).NMU’s combined special teams wasranked 12th in the country for the season(.522).

Offensively the ‘Cats tied with BowlingGreen for fourth in the CCHA in goals(2.96). Overall NMU scored almost threegoals a game (2.95). On the power playNMU was ninth in CCHA (.156) and just abit better in all games (.167).

NMU enters its eighth year at the BerryEvents Center. Home ice has been veryimportant to the ‘Cats. For the 2005-06season, NMU was 14-6-1 at home, 7-8-1away from Marquette and 1-2-0 on aneutral ice. Kyle credits NMU’s greatMarquette fan base for the team’s successat home.

ForwardsThree of the top five scorers from last yearare back in the fold. Olver, a senior, leadsthe way as he led the team last year with35 (15-20) points. He tied for eighth in thenation in game-winning goals with five.He could become only the second playerin NMU history to lead the ‘Cats in pointsall four years. Gary Emmons led the ‘Catsin points from 1983-87. “Darin is a guywho came here with a lot of expectations,”Kyle said. “He has really grown as aperson and a player. To a large degree wewill lean on him this year in terms of playand leadership.”

Mike Santorelli, a junior, (15-18-33) wasthird on the team last year in points.Santorelli’s assists and points were betterthan his freshman campaign. Kyle thinksSantorelli had a sub-par sophomorecampaign considering his talents andexpects big things from him. Bateman, asenior, tied a career-high with his 29 (10-19) points last year. “I think he is one ofthe most underrated players in theCCHA,” Kyle said. “I think he is anoutstanding power forward.”

Senior forwards Dusty Collins and RobLehtinen could be in a position for break-out seasons in their final trip in a ‘Catuniform. Collins registered 10 points in2005-06 on four goals and six assists. Hisgoals and points were a career-high.Lehtinen had four goals and 12 assists for

16 points. His assists and points werecareer-numbers.

Matt Siddall improved his numbers in hissophomore campaign last year. He talliedsix goals and six assists for 12 points. Hehad eights points his freshman season onfour goals and four assists. Anotherjunior, Andrew Sarauer, saw limited timelast year, but responded with two goalsand three assists for five points. Twoother sophomores who saw ice time lastyear, Nathan Sigmund and Nick Sirota,should be in a position to see even moreice time this season. Sigmund appeared in32 games last year and had three goals,five assists for eight points. Sirota onlyappeared in 20 games during the 2005-06campaign, but registered five goals andtwo assists for seven points. Redshirtsophomore Tim Hartung appeared in justfive games last year because of an injury.“These guys will be given theopportunity. Time will tell how quicklythey can adapt,” Kyle said.

The ‘Cats will have five freshmen on theroster who will play at a forward spot.Headlining the list is Matt Butcher (6-2,205); he was a fifth-round draft pick (138th

overall) of Vancouver in the 2005 NHLEntry Draft. At Chilliwack last year theLangley, B.C. native had 101 points on 38goals and 63 assists. Others include RayKaunisto (6-4, 185), Jacques Lamoureux

(6-1, 182), Mike Maltese (6-3, 200) andBrant Marple (5-10, 175).

Kaunisto, a U.P. native from Sault Ste.Marie, Mich., played for Cedar Rapids lastyear as he had five goals and 14 assists.Lamoureux, from Grand Forks, N.D. skatedfor Bismark and had 70 points on 32 goalsand 38 assists. Maltese, a native ofdownstate Eastpointe, Mich., played forMahoning Valley last year as he registered20 goals, 26 assists for 46 points. Marple,a native of Apple Valley, Minn., suited upfor Santa Fe as he registered 44 points on17 goals and 27 assists.

DefensemenThe blue liners were hit hard bygraduation, but the talent is still there tobe competitive. “We lost some key peoplefrom a year ago,” Kyle said. “Oystrickand Waugh will be difficult to replace.When they were on the ice, they were apair who controlled the game.”

Tarkir is the leading returning scorer in thegroup. The senior tallied three goals and11 assists for a career-high 14 points in2005-06. Seniors Matt Maunu and BobbySelden will join Tarkir to form the blue linenucleus. Maunu appeared in 39 gameslast year and had eight points on one goaland seven assists. Selden had one goaland five assists for six points. BlakeCosgrove, a junior, will be looked to adddepth to the unit.

Two current sophomores saw limitedtime last year on the blue line. DerekMay appeared in 14 games and did notregister a point. Spencer Dillon, whowas hampered by injuries, appeared insix games and had one assist. “Wehave to replace those minutes bycommittee,” Kyle said.

TJ Miller (6-4, 210) highlights thefreshmen. He was a fourth-round draftchoice (107th overall) to New Jersey inthe 2006 NHL Entry Draft. A native ofPlacetia, Calif., he played for Pentictonlast year and had 16 goals and 32assists for 48 points. Others who willbe joining the defensemen are AlanDorich (6-2, 205) and Mick McCrimmon(5-10, 170).

Dorich, an Orland Park, Ill. native,played for Des Moines in 2005-06 andhad one goal and four assists.McCrimmon is from Brandon, Manitobaand laced it up for Vernon last yearhaving one goal and 10 assists.

GoaltendersFor the first time in a couple of years the‘Cats won’t have to worry about who willbe between the pipes. Bill Zanibonireturns to mind the net. Zaniboni was 18-12-2 for the 2005-06 season with a 2.31goals-against average and a .916 savepercentage. “I thought Billy proved to bea starting goaltender in the CCHA,” Kylesaid. “Now he needs to prove that he is agood starting goaltender.”

Josh Hatinger, a senior, also returns to thegoaltending group. Freshman netminderBrian Stewart (6-4, 200) could very wellpush Zaniboni for playing time. Stewart,from Burnaby, B.C., played for Alberni lastyear and was 33-13-2 with a 2.16 goals-against and a .924 save percentage.

The ScheduleThe ‘Cats join Lake Superior State, OhioState and Miami for its four-game CCHAcluster this season. NMU will get an earlyindication on how the team shapes upwhen it hosts Wisconsin for two “homegames” in Green Bay the first weekend ofOctober.

The ‘Cats also face WCHA opponents,Michigan Tech and Minnesota-Duluth.NMU will play in the Mutual of OmahaStampede Tournament the third weekendin October along with Nebraska-Omaha,UMass-Lowell and Niagara.

Former Wildcat Coach Rick Comley willmake an appearance with his MichiganState Spartans in early December (Dec. 8-9) at the Berry Events Center. Other teamsdotting the home schedule include OhioState, Alaska, Lake Superior State, FerrisState, Bowling Green and Miami.

SummaryJohn Olver and John Kyle return to thebench. For Kyle this is his fourth yearwhile Olver is entering his second.

The team might struggle early, but if it islike past Kyle-coached clubs it will getbetter as the season moves along. Thecupboard is far from empty. Kyle thinksButcher and Miller are the two newcomerswho could come in right away andcontribute. He expects the othernewcomers will need some time to developover the course of the year. It will taketime to get the chemistry just rightbetween the veterans and the rookies forthe ‘Cats to be successful.

THIS IS THE CCHA

National prominence and national dominance arewhat separates the Central Collegiate Hockey As-sociation from the rest of college hockey.

CCHA teams have won more NCAA Championships(7) in the last 20 years than any other conference. BowlingGreen began the run in 1984, followed by Michigan Statein 1986. The Lake Superior State Lakers, who own the most titles of a CCHA-member team, capturedthree in a span of seven years (1988, 1992, 1994). Michigan’s pair as a CCHA member (1996, 1998)brings its overall NCAA Championship total to nine, the most in the nation. Northern Michiganwon the crown in 1991 as a member of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association.

The league has featured five Hobey Baker Memorial Award winners – Bowling Green’sGeorge McPhee in 1982, Michigan State’s Kip Miller in 1990, Bowling Green’s Brian Holzingerin 1995, Michigan’s Brendan Morrison in 1996 and Michigan State’s Ryan Miller in 2001.

The CCHA began in 1971-72 with four teams – Bowling Green, Ohio State, and OhioUniversity from the Midwest Collegiate Hockey Association and an independent, St. LouisUniversity. Lake Superior joined the league the following year. The league weathered thenext two seasons after Ohio dropped its program and Ohio State became an independent.

The CCHA began establishing its reputation as a haven for fledgling programs in 1975-76when Western Michigan joined the league. Ohio State rejoined that year, and NorthernMichigan’s arrival in 1977-78 brought the CCHA’s membership to six teams.

After a season as a provisional member, Ferris State joined the league in 1979-80. St. Louisdropped its program the same year, leaving Bowling Green as the team with the longest tenurein the CCHA. Miami University joined the league in 1981-82 after spending 1980-81 as aprovisional member.

In 1981-82, the CCHA added four teams from the WCHA – Michigan, Michigan State,Michigan Tech and Notre Dame – raising its membership to eleven teams. The CCHA reachedan all-time high of 12 teams in 1982-83 with the addition of the University of Illinois at Chicago.Notre Dame left the league in 1983-84, only to return 10 years later.

Michigan Tech and Northern Michigan jumped to the WCHA in 1984-85, reducing theCCHA to nine teams where it would stay for eight seasons. In 1992-93, Kent State Universityjoined the league and Alaska Fairbanks began its three-year run as an affiliate. Kent Statediscontinued its program after two seasons, while Illinois-Chicago did the same after the 1995-96 season. Northern Michigan rejoined the conference in 1997-98 following 13 years as amember of the WCHA, bringing the CCHA membership to 11 teams.

The 1999-00 campaign marked the addition of a 12th member – University of Nebraska-Omaha – and a new look for the CCHA. With the Mavericks joining the CCHA, the leagueexpanded its postseason tournament and reduced its conference schedule to 28 games todetermine the regular-season champion. The teams are divided into three “clusters,” witheach team playing the other three members of its cluster four times — twice at home and twiceon the road. Each team hosts two teams and visits the other two from each of the other clusters.However, each team is scheduled to visit only one of the “extreme” schools (Alaska Fairbanksand Nebraska Omaha; Northern Michigan and Lake Superior; Ohio State and Miami) in theother clusters in order to control travel costs.

The CCHA Postseason Tournament structure will include all 12 teams. The top fourfinishers during the regular season will have a bye in the first round as finishers five througheight will host nine through 12 in a best-of-three series. The winners of the four first-roundseries will be re-seeded based on their regular season finish and will travel to the campus ofthe teams who finished one through four in the regular season to play a best of three series.The winners advance to Joe Louis Arena for the CCHA Championship where they will be re-seeded based upon their regular season finish. The No. 1 seed will play the No. 4 seed andthe No. 2 seed will play the No. 3 seed. The winners will then advance on to the CCHAChampionship. The winner of the CCHA Tournament will receive the league’s automatic bidto the NCAA Tournament.

WILDCAT HISTORY AND RECORDS


NMU’S HOCKEY HISTORY

In 1976, a small school in northern Michi-gan began the ice age with the addition of a DivisionI men’s ice hockey team. Twenty-six years later,the ice age is still present as Wildcat hockey hasbecome one of the most respected and successfulyoung programs in the country. Following is alook at NMU’s hockey history, from past topresent.

NMU began its hockey program under thetutelage of Rick Comley in the 1976-77 seasonbefore officially becoming a member of the Cen-tral Collegiate Hockey Association in 1977-78and registering third-place finishes in its first twoyears.

The Wildcats’ initial CCHA campaign washighlighted by sophomore defenseman and cur-rent Atlanta Thrashers’ general manager DonWaddell sharing 1978 CCHA Player of the Yearhonors with BGSU forward John Markell afterposting 18-34-52 totals in 32 games.

Northern’s thirdand fourth seasons asmembers of the CCHAsaw it catapult ontothe national Division Iscene with appearancesin the NCAA FrozenFour.

The Wildcats’1979-80 squad postedan amazing 34-6-1 over-all mark to go alongwith a 17-3-0 ledgerand first-place leaguestanding en route tobecoming the firstCCHA program ever toreach the NCAA Championship game. That yearalso saw an unprecedented five of Northern’splayers (G Steve Weeks, D Tom Laidlaw, D DonWaddell, F Steve Bozek and F Bill Joyce) earnfirst-team all-league honors with Weeks captur-ing Player-of-the-Year honors with a 29-6-1record to go along with a 2.95 GAA and .910 savepercentage.

In 1980-81, NMU (27-14-3) continued itssuccess with a second CCHA regular-season title(18-4-0) and a fourth-place finish in the NCAATournament. In addition, the Wildcats receivedtheir third CCHA Player-of-the-Year Award infour seasons as Jeff Pyle led the league in scoringwith 23 goals and 36 assists for 59 points in 22games.

Following a seventh-place standing in 1981-82, NMU registered a fifth- and fourth-placefinish in its final two seasons in the CCHA, re-spectively.

The Wildcat hockey program began play inthe Western Collegiate Hockey Association in1984-85 and notched a pair of fifth-place fin-ishes in its first four seasons – a time period thatwas highlighted by the outstanding play of

NMU’s all-time leading goal-scorer and two-timeHobey Baker finalist Gary Emmons.

Northern then started a run in which itposted six consecutive 20-plus win campaignshighlighted by capturing the 1991 NCAA Cham-pionship and 1991 WCHA regular-season title.

In 1988-89, NMU captured its first of threeWCHA Playoff titles and advanced to the firstround of the NCAA Tournament en route to fin-ishing the season with a 26-17-2 win-loss mark.

During the memorable 1990-91 campaign,the Wildcats compiled a 38-5-4 record and 25-3-4 league ledger and completed the season with aschool record, 26-game unbeaten streak on itsway to capturing the MacNaughton Cup, theWCHA Playoff title and the national title. Thatclub, which set or tied more than 50 schoolrecords, featured All-America defenseman BradWerenka (1991 Hobey Baker Award runnerup),center Scott Beattie (WCHA Most Valuable

Player and two-time Hobey Baker finalist) andgoaltender Bill Pye (two-time WCHA PlayoffMVP).

In 1991-92, NMU (25-14-3) defended itsnational title by winning its third WCHA Play-off title in four years and advancing to the NCAAQuarterfinals.

In 1992-93, the Wildcats (21-18-4) advancedto the NCAA Tournament in addition to theWCHA Playoff Championship game for a thirdstraight season. The 1993-94 season saw NMU(22-16-1) standing in first place in late Januarybefore succumbing to late-season injuries and fin-ishing six points out of the WCHA’s top spotand in fifth place.

Following the 1996-97 campaign, a new erain Wildcat hockey history began as NorthernMichigan rejoined the Central Collegiate HockeyAssociation.

The Wildcats entered the CCHA with a bangin 1997-98, recording its first winning season since1993-94 with a 19-15-4 mark. The ’Cats finishedin fourth place during that season, advancing to

A tale of two leagues…In its 30-year history, the Wildcats have been afiliated with two leagues – the CentralCollegiate Hockey Association and the Western Collegiate Hockey Association. Be-low is a brief look at NMU’s accomplishments in each conference:

the CCHA Tournament semifinals before havingtheir season halted by Michigan State.

In 1998-99, Northern (22-15-5) began theseason with a school record-tying six-game win-ning streak, and carried that momentum all theway to its first 20-win-season in five years, andits first NCAA Tournament appearance since1992-93. The ’Cats posted their second straighttrip to Joe Louis Arena for the CCHA Champi-onship, this time upsetting No. 1 seed MichiganState, 5-3, in the semifinal round rematch from1998. Following a 5-1 loss to Michigan in theCCHA Championship game, NMU was selectedto the NCAA Tournament for the seventh timein the school’s history. The ‘Cats fell in the firstround by a 2-1 margin to Boston College, whoeventually advanced to the Frozen Four.

The 1999-00 campaign saw the opening ofthe Berry Events Center – a $11 million, on-campus facility for hockey and basketball, as

well as the first back-to-back 20-winseasons since 1992-94. Northern, whichfinished the seasonwith a 22-13-4 mark,concluded the seasontied for third place inthe CCHA, itshighest league placingsince1991-92.

The 2000-01 sea-son saw the Widlatsslip to a 18-13-7record.

The 2001-02 sea-son saw the ‘Cats

register a 26-12-2 overall mark and a 16-10-2record in CCHA play, which was good for thirdplace in the conference, was their highest placesince re-joining the CCHA.

The 2002-03 season saw a new person be-hind the bench. Walt Kyle took over for RickComley and led the ‘Cats to a 22-17-2 recordand a third-place finish at the CCHA Super Six.

The 2003-04 season saw the Wildcats fin-ish 7th in the league with a 21-16-4 overall record,a 13-13-2 CCHA record, and a fourth-place fin-ish in the CCHA Super Six.

In 2004-05 the Wildcats finished the con-ference season with a team-high 38 points(17-7-4), which was good for a third-place finish.

1991 NCAA CHAMPIONS

The Wildcats rolled through the greatest season in school history in 1990-91,compiling a 38-5-4 overall record and 25-3-4 record in WCHA play. They capturedthe WCHA regular-season and playoff titles and fashioned a season-ending, school-record 26-game unbeaten streak en route to Northern Michigan’s first nationalhockey title.

Loaded with talented veterans such as Brad Werenka (the 1991 Hobey BakerAward runner-up and a first-team All-America choice), Scott Beattie (the 1990-91WCHA MVP and a first-team All-America selection) and Bill Pye (a second-teamAll-America choice), the Wildcats set or tied more than 50 school records.

Northern Michigan jumped out to an 8-0-1 record and No. 1 national rankingbefore suffering three losses and a tie during back-to-back weekends at Minnesotaand Maine.

A six-game winning streak then ensued before the ’Cats were handed a pair ofshocking losses at St. Cloud State just prior to Christmas.

Little did anyone know, though, that the Wildcats would not lose another gamefor the remainder of the season.

A regular season-ending road sweep of Wisconsin preceded a first-roundWCHA playoff sweep of Colorado College and wins over North Dakota andMinnesota in the WCHA semifinals and finals.

Following an NCAA Tournament quarterfinal sweep over Alaska-Anchorage(which extended the Wildcats’ school-record home unbeaten streak to 33 games),NMU defeated Maine, 5-3, in the NCAA semifinals.

Northern Michigan’s 1991 national title contest with Boston University wasnothing short of a classic. The Wildcats, after falling behind 3-0 after the first period,stormed back to take a 7-4 lead midway through the third period, only to have theTerriers tie the game at 7-7 with 39 seconds left to play in regulation.

The teams engaged in a back-and-forth struggle for two overtimes before thegame’s final sequence developed early in the third extra period with Wildcat DarrylPlandowski carrying the puck across the Terrier blue line and leaving a drop passfor teammate Mark Beaufait. Beaufait took the puck wide to the left of Terriergoalie Scott Cashman, while Plandowski proceeded to the slot where he receiveda return pass from Beaufait and flipped the puck into the open net at the 1:57 mark.

BU coach Jack Parker said of the contest: “That was not a hockey game. Wecreated something different out there tonight.”
