WEEKEND AHEAD: The Chargers continue WCHA play this weekend with a trip to Marquette, Michigan, to take on Northern Michigan in a two-game set on Friday and Saturday at 6:07 p.m. CST both nights. UAH is 2-11-3 all-time against NMU and 0-7-1 when visiting the Wildcats.
 
RECENT ACTION: The Chargers remain in a two-way tie for fifth place in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association standings entering the week, following a series split with Ferris State this past weekend with a 5-3 win on Saturday and a 3-1 loss on Sunday in Huntsville. UAH is now 5-11-2 overall and 5-7-2 within the WCHA for a program-best 17 league points in 2016-17.
 
SUSTAINED SUCCESS: Sophomore Kurt Gosselin – now a two-time WCHA Defensive Player of the Week honoree – continued to excel offensively for the Chargers blue line, as the defenseman notched the program's first hat trick since Feb. 1, 2008 by Cale Tanaka and the first by a UAH defenseman since Jan. 2, 1999 by Shane Stewart in the series-opening 5-3 win over FSU on Saturday. Gosselin is now tied for the team lead and second amongst WCHA defensemen with 13 points, while leading the league's defensemen and the UAH roster with seven goals.
