 After a 2-2 road trip and a by week to start 2017, the BSU men's hockey team returns home this weekend to take on Ferris State. The 18th ranked beavers come into the weekend series in first place in the WCHA, 10 points ahead of Michigan Tech. And while BSU already has a spot in the conference playoffs, they know they aren't finished and like where they're sitting. We haven't been in that position in the WCHA so it's, I mean I'd be lying to tell you it's not a great spot to be in but there's still a lot of work that needs to be done and we know that and it's, we got a tough schedule, everybody's got a tough schedule. There's a lot on the line for everybody, you know, we're playing for a championship. Some people are playing for home ice, some people are playing to, you know, try to get into the playoffs. I mean everybody's playing for something so there's a carrot dangle in front of everybody right now. But it's nice being obviously in first place and you know, and we do, we do control our own destiny, we know that but and we know how difficult it's going to be.
