The Augustana Men’s Hockey team experienced a tough weekend in Mankato, losing both games to Minnesota State. Despite this, they remain near the top of the CCHA standings as they gear up for their final conference series before heading into the postseason. Head coach Garrett Raboin sees this upcoming series against Michigan Tech as a crucial opportunity for the team to show their readiness for playoff competition. With the team’s first year of eligibility for the CCHA Mason Cup Playoffs, Raboin acknowledges that they lack experience in such high-stakes situations, but believes that their last conference series will be a valuable test of their growth and preparation. The upcoming games against Michigan Tech this weekend will be key in determining the team’s progress and readiness for postseason play. The games are scheduled for Friday at 7:00 PM and Saturday at 6:00 PM. Following this series, the Vikings will have one more home series against non-conference opponent Alaska Fairbanks before entering the postseason. Despite the setbacks in Mankato, the team remains optimistic and focused on making a strong finish in their conference play.
