 Well, it was a weekend to forget for BSU men's hockey pair of two nothing losses to Lake Superior State at home, but the memories they must be short because the big series is coming up this weekend. The team nipping at their heels, Michigan Tech. The Beavers currently sit in the four spot with two games in hand. The Huskies just two points below them. Now they travel for a pair this weekend in the Houghton with the winner carnival in town. Get ready for a playoff like atmosphere. It's an unbelievable environment. It's a great building. I always compare and begin a serena to Fenway Park or Wrigley Field. It's a it's a hockey rink and it's a hockey rink and it's loud. They got a great band so no it's just a it's a festive atmosphere. The guys that have been there they know how exciting it is and it's gonna be a great environment and we're definitely excited just because of our position in the standings with them and how important this weekend is. I think we all understand that. Three guys making their winter carnival debuts. Aaron Miller, Charlie Combs and Brendan Harris. The freshman forwards a big part of the Beavers attack 16 goals and 26 combined becoming serious threats. All those guys have grown tremendously. Um when we came when they came in, I think everyone kind of realized how good they were gonna be and we knew it was gonna take some time for them to adjust to college hockey, but I think they've done great. We see it in practice every day and like Brendan Harris has really elevated his game. Um you know, Aaron Miller, you know, he's playing with more pace and more temple and you know, Charlie's strength has really helped him early and uh and uh he's uh you know, he's been one of the top he's been one of the top freshmen in the league.
