It seemed like a dream scenario for Omaha, which hosted the NCHC bubble and only had to play seven of its 24 regular season games away from Baxter Arena. The Mavericks finished 10-6-1 at Baxter Arena, and they rode that to NCAA Tournament qualification, but UNO was pounded by Minnesota in the first round of … Continue reading NCHC snapshot: Omaha
NCHC Snapshot: North Dakota
North Dakota was considered one of the favorites to win the NCAA championship last season, but league rival Minn.-Duluth ended the Fighting Hawks' bid in an epic five-overtime regional final.

NCHC Snapshot: Minn.-Duluth
What a four-year run it has been for Minnesota-Duluth. In 2018, national title. In 2019, national title.

NCHC Snapshot: Omaha
Omaha's 2018-19 season was its worst in 15 years, but last year Mike Gabinet's Mavericks bounced back from that nine-win campaign to a .458 winning percentage and sixth-place finish.

NCHC Snapshot: North Dakota
As difficult as it had to be for a loaded North Dakota team to see this spring's postseason canceled, almost all of the cogs from last season will dress for the Fighting Hawks again in 2020-21.
