Michigan State will play another familiar team this Friday, the Western Michigan Broncos. The Broncos finished the season with an overall record of 21-15-1, but did not perform as well in the conference as State University, which finished with an 11-13-0 record. Spartans vs. Broncos could be one of the most exciting games of the tournament as both teams come from Michigan.That game is this Friday at 5 p.m.

Michigan Tech's fourth team to take the ice in the tournament this Friday is Michigan Tech. The Huskies will have their hands full this Friday as they face No. 1 seed Boston College in the opening game starting at 2 p.m. The Huskies have had a pretty solid season with an overall record of 19-14-6 with 12 wins. At a conference. They lost 10 times in conference play and also had two tied games in conference play. When a higher-seeded team plays a lower-seeded team, like in men's college basketball, you never know what's going to happen. Having his four schools in the state represented in a tournament of just 16 teams shows the strength of his Michigan hockey program.
Michigan State University Hockey History
Every sweater number in Detroit Red Wings history has been worn only once (or never)
For whatever reason, these jersey numbers have either been worn only once in the Detroit Red Wings' nearly 100-year hockey history, or never, according to Hockey Reference.
(Hockey Reference suggests that number 6 was only worn by Camie Barton, but this is unlikely since Larry O'Ree first wore the number and the number is pseudo-retired.) It's accurate; such inaccuracies are difficult to narrow down, so if it can be fixed it will be fixed). )
