WCHA Commissioner Bruce McLeod THE WCHA Spanning six decades and marking its 58th season of men’s competition in 2009-10, the Western Collegiate Hockey Association continues to be de� ned by its history, its tradition and its continuing success. From it’s founding days in 1951 as the Midwest Collegiate Hockey League (MCHL), on to the Western Intercollegiate Hockey League (WIHL) in 1958, and � nally to the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) in 1959, this prestigious athletic conference has developed and maintained a tradition of excellence that truly is second to none. No Division 1 collegiate conference – in any sport – can top the impressive list of national scale accomplishments of the WCHA and its member teams. Since 1951, teams representing the men’s WCHA have earned a record 36 NCAA (national) championships, � nished as the national runner-up another 27 times, and quali� ed for a berth in collegiate hockey’s national championship round – the NCAA Men’s Frozen Four – in 53 of 57 seasons overall. In addition to its unmatched team successes in national championship tournament play over the years, the Western Collegiate Hockey Association also owns an enviable reputation for producing outstanding coaches and student-athletes, with hundreds of its alumni tracking successes in both international and professional competition. On top of the more than 230 men’s and women’s league alumni who have Olympic experience playing for the likes of the USA, Canada, Italy, Norway, Austria, Germany, Sweden, Finland, and France, conference-member teams and players have also received additional international exposure on a regular basis since 1951. The men’s WCHA has hosted touring teams from the USSR, Canada, Sweden, Czechoslovakia, Latvia, Germany, Italy, Finland, Norway, Switzerland, England and France and has also sent WCHA All-Star Teams to Europe in both 1998 (Switzerland) and 2000 (Norway). Just a few of the more than 400 past and present National Hockey Leaguer’s who have roots in the men’s WCHA include the likes of legendary goaltenders Tony Esposito, Eddie Mio Glenn ‘Chico’ Resch and Mike Richter, defensemen Keith Magnuson, Lou Nanne and Curt Giles, and forwards Lou Angotti, Bill Masterton, Bill ‘Red’ Hay, Red Berenson, Glenn Anderson, Mark Johnson and Brett Hull. The current crop of WCHA stars playing in the NHL include the likes of Zach Parise, Dany Heatley, Mark Parrish, Jordan Leopold, Jason Blake, Tyler Arnason, Mark Stuart, Thomas Vanek, Andy Sutton, Bret Hedican, Matt Carle, Joe Pavelski, Jonathan Toews and Tom Gilbert. In the most recent season of 2008-09 alone, a total of 96 WCHA alums earned playing time in the NHL. In terms of national attendance, the WCHA continue to set the pace among all Division 1 leagues. In the most recent 2008-09 season, Wisconsin (13,785/game), North Dakota (11,719/game) and Minnesota (10,022/game) ranked 1-2-3 in the nation in men’s average home attendance, while Colorado College (5th), St. Cloud State (7th), Denver (10th), Minnesota State (15th) and Minnesota Duluth (16th) also ranked among the leaders. A year ago, the 2009 Red Baron WCHA Final Five (men’s playo� championship) drew a total of 82,065 to the Xcel Energy Center, outdrawing the Big 10 Men’s Basketball Tournament by nearly 14,000 fans. In the � nal USCHO.com/CBS College Sports Div. 1 Men’s Poll for 2008-09 (March 23) there were � ve WCHA-member teams ranked among the top 20 in Denver (4th), North Dakota (7th), Minnesota Duluth (8th), Wisconsin (17th) and Minnesota (19th) while both Colorado College and St. Cloud State also received votes. In terms of individual honors, UW defenseman Jamie McBain was a Top 10 � nalist for the 2009 Hobey Baker Memorial Award and was an All-American. Other men’s players earning All-American honors were First Teamers Alex Stalock (G, UMD) and Ryan Stoa (F, UM) while Second Team members were Chay Ge- 100 2009-10 UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA MEN’S HOCKEY MEDIA GUIDE noway (D, UND) and Chad Rau (F, CC). In the WCHA, Jamie McBain was tabbed the WCHA Player of the Year, J.P. Testwuide (D, DU) was the Outstanding Student-Athlete of the Year, Chay Genoway (D, UND) was the league’s Defensive Player of the Year, Jordan Schroeder (F, UM) was the Rookie of the Year, Ryan Stoa (F, UM) was the league scoring champion, Alex Stalock (G, UMD) was the league goaltending champion, and Dave Hakstol (UND) was the men’s Coach of the Year. The men’s and women’s leagues had a combined 71 players named as prestigious WCHA Scholar-Athletes for 2008-09, with 35 of those being repeat honorees. The men’s WCHA also had a record total of 107 student-athletes named to the 2008-09 All-WCHA Men’s Academic Team. In terms of exposure, more than 200 WCHA mens’ games were televised in 2008-09, including all � ve games live from the 2009 Red Baron WCHA Final Five by Fox Sports North. All four NCAA regionals, and all three games at the 2009 NCAA Men’s Frozen Four in Denver were also televised live. A quick look at the 2009-10 campaign will see the league involved in several showcase events. Among the highlights will be Denver’s 60th Anniversary weekend celebration on Oct. 9-10, the opening of the MacNaughton Cup race on Oct. 16-17, Wisconsin hosting Michigan outdoors in the Camp Randall Hockey Classic on Feb. 6, the 2010 Red Baron WCHA Final Five set for March 18-20 at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota hosting the 2010 NCAA West Regional at Xcel Energy Center on March 26-27 and the 2010 NCAA Men’s Frozen Four at Ford Field in Detroit April 8-10. Under the leadership and guidance of Commissioner Bruce M. McLeod and Associate Commissioner Sara R. Martin, prospects for another highly successful campaign for the WCHA in 2009-10 appear very bright. Defending WCHA regular season champions are North Dakota on the men’s side and Wisconsin on the women’s side while defending WCHA playo� champions are Minnesota Duluth on the men’s side and Wisconsin on the women’s side.
