niversity of Michigan soph-
omore goalie Noah Ruden
got his chance to shine in
the annual Great Lakes
Invitational tournament in December,
and he didn't disappoint. The
Bloomfield Hills Andover grad played
very well as the Wolverines
split two games.
Ruden made five relief
appearances in 1.5 seasons
prior to the GLI. When goalie
Al Montoya was selected to
the U.S. team in the World
Junior championships, Ruden
gained his chance to start for
U-M.
The Wolverines lost the
GLI opener to second-ranked
Boston College, 4-1, but
Ruden kept U-M in the game Ruden
deep into the third period. BC
led just 1-0 with 7:32 remain-
ing. Ruden stopped 34 of 38 shots.
"Ruden is in a tough spot," said U-
M forward Eric Nystrom after the first
game. "We were trying our best to play
good defense and the goals
they scored were on defensive
breakdowns. He was back
there making the saves he
needed to make."
Ruden earned his first col-
lege victory the next day, as
Michigan downed Michigan
Tech 6-2. Ruden allowed one
goal on 13 shots in 43 min-.
utes of action. With the score
6-1, third-string goalie Mike
Mayhew mopped up. Ruden
also earned his first college
Levine
point when he drew an assist
on a U-M goal.
"I thought Noah, obviously starting
both games, showed that he could give
us a chance to win," said Michigan
Coach Red Beremon after the second
GLI contest. "He did a good job."
"Getting that first win was fun,"
Ruden said, adding, "I thought about
how experience might come into play
and how that might help or hurt me.
Granted this isn't junior (hockey)... I
haven't played in many games since I've
been here, but mentally and physically,
I have been in situations where I've
needed to perform. Regardless of not
having the college game experience, I
