The Blugold Club Hockey team finished up their season with an invitation to the WCCHA Tournament in early February. The team took on #1 seed Northern Michigan University. The boys played tough, but NMU prevailed 6-1. Early the next morning, UWEC took on Minnesota, a team they swept in Eau Claire earlier in the year. Following a great team effort, UWEC won the game and moved on to the consolation championship, where they'd meet St. Thomas University. A back and forth game ensued, but Marques Surita scored the overtime game winner for the Blugolds.
Following the conference, the team applied for entrance into the WCCHA Conference. It turned out to work out in our favor, as we are now the 8th member of the WCCHA Conference! Being admitted to the conference means for an even more exciting season next year, as the team will be playing for the WCCHA Tournament again, and a spot in the ACHA Regional tournament.
