Â
PENALTY KILLING
The UAH defense had one of its best weekends in terms of the penalty kill, as they went a perfect 10-for-10 in that category. The Chargers were 5-for-5 on each night.
Â
BREARS IS BEST
Chad Brears scored his team-leading fourth goal of the season on Saturday night, after taking advantage of a 5-on-3 power play. Brears hadn't scored since Nov. 9 against Alaska Anchorage.

WHAT'S ON TAP
UAH will return home this coming weekend, Jan. 3 and 4, when they host Bowling Green in WCHA action. The Chargers picked up their only win of the season at Bowling Green in overtime earlier this season.
FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH
There will be 11 freshmen on the UAH roster this season, the third-highest total in the NCAA. Only two teams have more first-year players.
OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW
The team will be wearing brand new home and away uniforms in 2013-14. The road blues will sport "Alabama Huntsville" on the chest, while the home whites will script "UAH". The team will also wear an alternate gray uniform, along with their camouflage jerseys on Military Appreciation Weekend.
MILITARY BACKGROUNDS
Coach Corbett spent the past 10 seasons at the Air Force Academy in Colorado, while assistant
Matty Thomas is a Naval Academy graduate. All three spent time at the Univ. of Denver in some capacity as well.
TRADITION CONTINUES
A program that began back in 1979 has seen its ups and downs throughout its history. From a National Championship program in the mid-1990's to a CHA contender in the early to mid-2000's, UAH Hockey has landed in the prestigious WCHA. A new era of Charger Hockey began back on October 11.
