For sixteen y e a r s Renfrew piloted Michigan's hockey club, amassing a 222-208-11 won-loss- tie mark, five Big Ten cohamp- ionships and one national title. Renfrew also played on a na- Icers Last Year's Record: 5-28-1 Last Year's Finish: Fourth (Big Ten), Tenth (last) (WCHA) New Recruits: Doug Lindskog, lw-c; Pat Hughes, rw; Greg Natale, d; Kris Manery, c-rw Outlook: Ain't no way but up tional championship team during his skating days at Michigan. Appropriately, Renfrew .bowed out a victor when the Wolver- ines dumped North Dakota 3-2 in the '72'73 finale. The vic- tory at Grand Forks was Michi- gan's only road triumph of the season. Thus, the wheels began turn- ing in the athletic hierarchcy with the resulting naming of Michi- gan Tech assistant coach Dan Farrell to the head post by Athletic Director Don Canham. Farrell played for Tech in the early '60s and later returned to his alma mater where he hand- led the brunt of Tech's recruit- ing along with his d u t ie s as assistant to head coach John {Maclnnes. At the time of his hiring, Far- rell stated, "I hope to bring Michigan to its rightful place as a hockey power," which could prove a monumental undertak- ing in light of the Wolverines' failures over the past few sea- sons. ' Farrell inherited a young squad that lost only four players to graduation this past spring. Gone are captain Rick Mallette, the team's leading scorer last year (7 goals, 28 assists), swingman Mike Jarry who doubled at for- ward and defense, plus forwards Gary Connelly and Roy Ashworth. Only two seniors return for the upcoming season, Bob Fal- coner, (10 goals, 14 assists), HAIRSTYLING As You Like It! NEW TRENDS FOR 1973 I Trims-Shags and Razor Cuts 2 S0OPS DASCOLA BARBERS 611 E. University 615 E. Liberty and Julian Nixon, (6 goals, 12 assists). Neither is known for his tremendous size or great speed, but both play the kind of gutty, two-way hockey that pleases coaches and excites the fans. The Wolverines lacked the one or two high scoring forwards that most teams rely on for nec- essary goal production. Evidence to the point is the fact that Michigan's leading goal scorer, Frank Werner, tallied only 13 times. Right behind Werner was right wing Gary Kardos with 12 goals despite the fact that he was slowed by . a shoulder injury in the latter stages of the season. Don Fardig and Angie Mor- etto, a pair of sophomore centers who each notched ten goals and finished second and third, respec- tively, in total points for Michi- gan, should each be prime candi- dates for the coveted 20-goal plateau this season. Moretto has overwhelming size and proved a tough customer for enemy de- fensemen in front of the oppo- sition's net. Known as one of the best skaters and most deft pas- sers on the team, Fardig was one of a select few on the Wol- verine roster to garner more points than penalty minutes. After sterling performances as frashmen, Randy Neal and Paul Paris suffered through the fa- bled "sophomore slump" 1 a s t year. This duo mustered only half as many goals in their sec- ond year of Western Collegiate Hockey Association play as they had in their rookie campaigns. Better things from this pair are a must for the Wolverines to improve on that dismal last place finish of a year ago. The blue line corps returns six veteran defensemen, three juniors and three sophomores. Much of the blame for Michi- gan's seemingly non - existent defense fell on these young rearguards, but Farrell feels this group has all the makings of a real blue chip aggrega- tion. With a year's experience together under their belts plus Farrell's institution of a tight- checking, defense oriented style of play, they could blossom into one of the league's finest. So impressed were the Wolver- ines by junior defenseman Randy Trudeau's desire and determin- ation last year, they named him team captain for the upcoming season. Trudeau matured immen- sely last year both in his de- fensive skills and in his play on the right point of the Michigan power play. Look for Trudeau to be right up at the top of the list when it comes to all - league awards time next spring. One point Farrell vehemently stressed was the need for relief help for beleaguered goalie Rob- bie Moore. As a freshman, Moore played in 30.7 of the Wolverinees' 34 games and kicked out the astronomical total of 1254 shots on the Michigan goal. Though the diminutive Moore had a none to earthshaking goals against aver- age of 5.7, he proved with his catlike reflexes (and temper) that he could play in the WCHA. Although Michigan victories were few and far between last season, throughout the second half of the campaign the Wol- verines played much improved I Daily Photo by DENNY GAINER SOPHOMORE GOALIE ROBBIE MOORE (29) sweeps clear an opposing shot with a little held from defenseman Gordie Cullen- (2) in action last year.

Perhaps the Wolverines encouraging finish, a win and tie at North Dakota, for their only points on the road all season, is an advance to the resurrection of Michigan hoc- key fortunes. One thing that definitely will be new in the upcoming hockey season is the Wolverines' home rink. The planned revamping of Yost Fieldhouse into Yost Coli- seum has already begun with the remodeling scheduled to be completed in time for the sea- son's inauguration. The Yost facility is expected to seat about 6,000 spectators, a vast improve- ment in itself over the cramped old "Michigan Coliseum where shoehorns were needed to seat a couple thousand patrons. The final game played in the Coliseum was perhaps an epi- tome of Michigan's frustrations last season. The Wolverines were matching high-sticks with Min- nesota - Duluth that Saturday evening in the second game of a weekend set. Duluth had pulled to an apparently safe two goal advantage, 8-6 with- under two minutes to be played in the third period. The Wolverines were ap- plying relentless pressure, seem- ingly in vain, on the Duluth goal, when suddenly two quick whis- tles saw Duluth lose two skaters to the "sin bin" giving the Wol- verines a two man advantage. Coach Renfrew quickly yank- ed Moore from the Michigan goal to give the Wolverines six attackers. Neal then netted a fast goal to cut the deficit to one, but the seconds kept tick- ing away with what little hope Michigan had for a tie and ov- ertime. ' With the fans at the point of delirium, the Michigan net still empty and Duluth remain- ing one man shy, Moretto non- chalantly backhanded home a nifty centering pass from Neal, knotting the score with only eight seconds left in regula- tion time. But as usual the ensuing over- time period brought the Wolver- ines the same old agony that plagued them all season. Mid- way through the ten minute ov- ertime period a Duluth winger extracted the puck from a pile up to the left of the Michigan net and dribbled a weak shot through a maze of players to- Ward the Michigan net. 1Moore, then in goal for Michigan, never saw the puck as it nicked the right post, slide across the goal crease, trickled off the left post and inched over the goal line for the winning marker. That 9-8 ,overtime loss told the story of the Wolverines entire season. Frustration with appar- ently no end, until things finally fell together on the season's con- cluding -weekend. All signs indicate that the WCHA title race should be a dandy again this season. De- fending league champion Den- ver always plays tough hockey, and last year's NCAA champs, Wisconsin, over the past few seasons have molded one of the top hockey programs in the country.
