ational prominence and national dominance are what separates
the Central Collegiate Hockey Association from the rest of college
hockey.
CCHA teams have won more NCAA Championships (8) in the
last 25 years than any other conference. Bowling Green began the
run in 1984, followed by Michigan State in 1986 and 2007. The Lake
Superior State Lakers, who own the most titles of a CCHA-member
team, captured three 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 Michigan
won the crown in 1991 as a member of the Western Collegiate Hockey
Association.
The CCHA began in 1971-72 with four teams - Bowling Green,
Ohio State and Ohio University from the Midwest Collegiate Hockey
Association and an independent, St. Louis University. Lake Superior
State joined the league the following year. Northern Michigan’s arrival
in 1977-78 brought the CCHA’s membership to six teams.
Northern Michigan rejoined the conference in 1997-98 following
13 years as a member of the WCHA, bringing the CCHA membership
to 11 teams. The 1999-00 campaign marked the addition of a 12th
member - Nebraska-Omaha. The conference schedule features 28
games to determine the regular-season champion. The teams are divided
into three “clusters,” with each team playing the other three members
of its cluster four times - twice at home and twice on the road.
The CCHA postseason tournament structure includes all 12
teams. The top four finishers during the regular season have a bye in
the first round as finishers five through eight host nine through 12 in
a best-of-three series. The winners of the four first-round series are
re-seeded based on their regular season finish and travel to the campus
of the 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 are re-seeded based upon their
regular-season finish. The No. 1 seed plays the No. 4 seed and the No. 2
seed plays the No. 3 seed. The winners advance to the CCHA Championship. The winner of the CCHA Tournament receives the league’s
automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

A six-game winning streak then ensued before
the ’Cats were handed a pair of shocking losses at
St. Cloud State just prior to Christmas.
Little did anyone know, though, that the
Wildcats would not lose another game for the
remainder of the season.
A regular season-ending road sweep of Wisconsin preceded a first-round WCHA playoff sweep
of Colorado College and wins over North Dakota
and Minnesota 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.

the first period, stormed back to take a 7-4 lead
midway through the third period, only to have the
Terriers 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 the game’s final
sequence developed early in the third extra period
with Wildcat Darryl Plandowski carrying the puck
across the Terrier blue line and leaving a drop pass
for teammate Mark Beaufait. Beaufait took the
puck wide to the left of Terrier goalie Scott Cashman, while Plandowski proceeded to the slot where
he received a 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. We created something different out there tonight.”

NMU Profile
Northern Michigan Campus Life
T
he University: A regional public, coeducational university
founded in 1899, Northern offers learning opportunities
to approximately 9,500 undergraduate and graduate students.
Each full-time student is issued a notebook computer as part of
tuition and fees.
Location: NMU is located in an environment unrivaled by any
other, on the south shore of Lake Superior in Marquette, Michigan, voted one of “America’s Most Livable Communities,” with
breathtaking vistas and 20,000 lucky residents.
Campus: Named one of the “Most Unwired” campuses in
the United States, we’re completely connected with the latest
technology. We’re large enough to offer scenic spaces and 50
quality facilities. There
are high-end specialty
computer labs, a learning resource center, a
theater, a speech and
hearing clinic, a student
art gallery and university art museum, a
student radio station,
public radio and TV
stations, the Jacobetti
Center for technical
programs, an ice rink, a swimming pool and diving tank, a rock
climbing wall, an all-events center and the Superior Dome, an
8,000 seat stadium (the largest wooden dome in the world).
But we’re still small enough to keep everything within walking
distance, which is especially nice in the winter.
Faculty: NMU has talented faculty
members and a low student-to-faculty
ratio of 22-to-1. Our average class size
is 23, our average lab size is 16 and our
average seminar size is 10. Of all entrylevel courses, 70 percent are taught by
career faculty.
The Superior Edge: Learn to live a
life that matters. Other universities have
16
leadership programs, but NMU
is the only university in the
country that packs leadership,
community engagement, diversity awareness and real-world
experience into one life-changing program. In the Superior
Edge, students design their own
volunteer, work and learning
activities (up to 400 hours).
Any NMU student regardless of class status or major is
eligible to participate for free.
Each Superior Edge graduate receives a student achievement
transcript along with their academic transcript. NMU grads
with proven experience, initiative, ethics, integrity, multicultural
awareness and motivation to make a difference gain an edge in
the job market and admission to grad schools.
Residence Halls: NMU’S 10 residence halls are organized into
living groups called “houses,” which include 40-45 students who
actively shape their own living environments. Four students
share a suite (two bedrooms and a bathroom) and all residence
halls have great locations within five minutes of eating, learning
and studying areas.
Extracurricular: There are about 300 clubs and organizations
on campus, including academic, service, social, professional, religious and special interest groups. We also have a full program of
club and intramural athletics.
Intercollegiate Athletics: NMU is a member of the National
Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC), and the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA).Varsity teams for women
include basketball, cross country, Nordic skiing, soccer, swimming and diving, track and field and volleyball. Varsity teams for
men include basketball, football, golf, hockey and Nordic skiing.
All sports are NCAA Division II, except men’s ice hockey, which
is Division I.
Olympic Education Center: NMU is designated as the
only United States Olympic Education Center by the U.S. Olympic
Committee. Olympic athletes in five sports train for elite international
competitions while pursuing their educations at NMU and Marquette
Senior High School.
Accreditation: NMU is accredited by the Northern Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools (30 North
LaSalle Street, Number 2400, Chicago, Illinois, 60602; 312-2630456). More than 20 academic programs are accredited by
additional professional agencies.

in the PEIF are seven racquetball courts, a dance studio, athletic
training facilities, locker rooms, classrooms and staff offices.
Superior Dome
The Superior Dome has been home to the Wildcat football team
since 1991 and is the finest football facility in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, if not all of NCAA Division II.
The Dome stands 14
stories high, and encompasses 5.1 acres under its
roof. Constructed of 781
Douglas fir beams and
108.5 miles of fir decking,
the Dome has a permanent seating capacity of
8,000, but the building can
hold as many as 16,000
people. The facility features a diameter of 536 feet, and has the
ability to withstand 60 pounds per square foot of snow and 80
mile per hour winds.
The Dome features a retractable artificial turf carpet, the
largest of its kind in the world. When it is extended, the turf has
the ability to accommodate football, soccer and field hockey.
Underneath the carpet is a synthetic playing surface that features three basketball/volleyball courts, two tennis courts, and
a 200-meter track. The carpet is extended over a cushion of
air and by 12 computerized winches and takes 30 minutes to
retract. Full setup of the turf is completed in approximately two
hours.

Superior.
Two are home to the NMU women’s soccer team; the other
two are practice fields for the NMU football team. They are
equipped with bleachers and a scoreboard.

in nearby Ishpeming and the four 5K loops at Blueberry Ridge in
Sands, a few miles south of Marquette.

Ishpeming. The 6,487-yard, 18-hole course has a three-star rating
from Golf Digest. It has two practice greens and a driving range.
