YOUNG PIONEERS THREATEN.

Icers gird

By PAUL CAMPBELL
WCHA hockey is a "homer's"
sport. That is, the home team
has a decided advantage. The
Michigan hockey team would do
well to remember that fact this
weekend as they travel to Den-
ver for a two game series with
the Denver Pioneers.s
"Hockey may well be the
sport with the greatest home
advantage," noted Denver coach
Murray Armstrong. "The tex-
ture of the ice, the curvature
of the boards, how the puck
bounces-knowing these things
is a big plus."
MICHIGAN coach Dan Farrell
agrees. He cites last year's
Denver games as an example.
"we lost two games out there
last year. They were both good1
games (5-4 and 5-3) and the
home advantage may well have
been the difference."
So, Denver may be a tough
place to win. But there are
other reasons besides the fact
that it represents enemy ice.
Denver has some quality play-
ers. The Pioneers are very
young (only two seniors will be
suiting up for this weekend)
but -still well disciplined. And
they have a winning tradition.
Indeed, Coach Armstrong, who
is in his twentieth year as Pio-
neet head coach, has only had
two losing seasons in his stay
at Denver. One of them was last
year, when his team only man-
aged 12 victories against 23
defeats.
Armstrong's record at Denver
is nothing short of amazing. His
teams have won over two-thirds

of their games, averaging 25
victories per campaign. On top
of this, his Pioneers have cap-
tured seven league and five na-
tional titles.
THIS YEAR'S squad opened
their league season by dropping
a pair to Minnesota Duluth, but
bounced back to gain splits with
Michigan Tech, Minnesota and
Notre Dame. Their league rec-
ord now stands at 3-5.
The Pioneers return their top
seven scorers from last year.
Mark Falcone, a sophmore who
leads the team in scoring this
year, will center on the first
line for senior captain Ched
Miller (the pride of Melville,
Saskatchewan) and junior Tom
Zajac.
Armstrong will use three lines
freely in the high altitude of
Denver Arena. Other players to
watch out for are freshmen
Lindsey Thompson sand Greg
Woods.
As many as ten freshmen are
seeing significant amounts of ice
time for the Pioneers. Jim Bales
has stepped into the goalie posi-
tion and is performing admir-
ably.
Alex Belcourt, an outstanding
frosh prospect at center who
was skating and scoring well
for Denver, will be sidelined by
an injury to a knee ligament
sustained a g a i n s t Michigan
Tech.
SPEAKING of knee ligaments,
Michigan fans will be happy to
know that Pat Hughes seems to
have recovered from his liga-

The Wolverines face a back-
breaking five games in ten days
at the onset of the conference
race. Included in the punishing
stretch are home games with
Minnesota, Indiana, and Ohio
State and road games at North-
western and Wisconsin.
"If we come out of there 5-0
we're going to win the god-
damn championship," Orr en-
thused.
Michigan faces each league
team twice during the season,
closing the regular season at
home against Northwestern.
Counting on two newcomers
in starting roles, the tough
nonconference schedule will
test the Wolverines strength
right off the bat and prepare
the unit for the grueling Big
Ten season.

more of the same aggressive play from his talented team
