Michigan Tech: High atop
the college hockey world
i.
By JOEL GREER
With athletic budgets floun-
dering at many universities,
specialization in one collegiate
sport has become a popular pol-
icy.
Whereas many schools can-
not support major football pro-
grams, several small colleges
such as Jacksonville, Marquet-
te and St. Bonaventure feature
outstanding basketball p r 0-
grams. Schools in the northern
clime devote much of their
funds to ice hockey.
Four of the nine schools com-
peting in the Western Collegiate
Hockey Association conduct this
type of athletic program and
league leading Michigan Tech
heads up the list.
Located in the Upper Penin-
sula's "copper country" between
the tiny twin cities of Houghton
and Hancock, Michigan Tech-
nological University has little
else to offer in the winter
months besides collegiate hock-
ey. Temperatures fall unnerv-

ingly below zero and snow
depths are recorded in feet
rather than inches. It has lately
become a custom for students to
snow-mobile their way from
campus to the always packed
Dee Stadium.
THE 4700 STUDENTS, in-
cluding 700 co-eds, have always
had pride in their number one
attraction. Over the past three
years the student body has fund-
ed the construction of a new
3500-seat arena which should
be completed in time for next
season's opener.
Dee Stadium, the ancient fa-
cility now used by the Huskies,
seats an estimated 1600 a n d
tickets are practically impossi-
ble to get. In fact, there has
been a continuing controversy
between Michigan Tech officials
and the Houghton fire marshall
over attendance figures. The ac-
tual attendance, which seldom-
ly is under 2200 has never been
quoted.
Hockey has been played in
- Houghton since the turn of the
century and is regarded as the
birthplace of professional hock-
ey on the North American con-
tinent. James R. Dee, who has
been credited with starting the
Houghton hockey program, built
the "old Amphidrome" in 1902
along the shores of Portage Lake
so that hockey would have the
opportunity to grow as he felt
it would.
Sure enough, a professional
league formed in the Houghton
area in 1903 and the Huskies be-
gan collegiate competition in
1919.

The original building was de-
stroyed in 1927 but was rebuilt
by Dee the following year. Nat-
urally, the name has been ap-
propriately changed to James R.
Dee Stadium.
Hockey at Michigan Tech has
a 1 w a y s been comparatively
strong, but the team didn't be-
come a national power until it
dominated the sport throughout
the last decade. Under present
coach J o h n MacInnes, the
Huskies have won four WCHA
championships including na-
tional crowns in 1961-62 a n d
1964-65. Tech last won the
WCHA crown during the 1968-
69 season.

Freshmen have filled key
holes in the Michigan Tech at-
tack and the offense has been
amazing.
In posting their 10-1 confer-
ence record, the Huskies have
averaged 5.6 goals p e r game.
"This year's squad is especially
offensive minded, and some-
times it's tough to k e e p the
reigns on them," Maclnnes ex-
pressed recently. "Our defense-
men can all carry the puck."
The team has molded into a
cohesive unit quicker than most
young squads and McInnes com-
pared this edition of the Husk-
ies with past ones. "This is def-
initely the best group I've had
here in the last five years."
Much of the speculation of
whether the Huskies could win
away from Dee Stadium dissap-
peared last weekend when they
swept both games f r o m the
stubborn Minnesota Gophers at
Minneapolis. Tech outlasted the
Gophers 6-2 Friday, and took a
penalty-marred 4-2 win on Sat-
urday.
In league competition, Michi-
