"It's not bro- ken." , e injury is not epected to keep Taylor - a first-team All-Big Ten selection as a sophomore last season - out for long.- Sophomore guard Louis Bullock left practice early as a precaution after reporting he was "feeling woozy." Bullock's fellow sophomore, forward Robert Traylor, was limping a little toward the end of practice and had his right foot looked at by the training staff. "Everybody gets nicked up," Fisher 9. "That's just the cost of doing busi- ness" JOE WESTRATE/Daily Captain Brendan Morrison will lead the Michigan hockey team into a battle against jetlag and boredom in Alaska - and two games against the Nanooks. "(Ward) misses too many lay-ups, as big as he is," Fisher said. "We want him to get in there and finish in traffic." Fisher speculated that Ward may still be affected by the knee injuries that cut short his first two seasons as a Wolverine. "I think maybe a little subconsciously (he may be affected)," Fisher said. NEW KID IN TOWN: At least Vignier doesn't have to play against Taylor, Baston and Traylor during the season. Playing against them in practice is hard enough for the 6-foot-I I freshman, See HOOPS, Page 15A By James Goldstein Daily Sports wNiter Picture this. You are a freshman on the Michigan hockey team. Before the sea- son begins, you take a look at your schedule to see the first few games. You glance it over and spot Lake Superior as your first conference game. But wait! No! You see the asterisk on the bottom of the schedule and realize it's a non-conference game. So you scroll down the schedule a bit more to see your first conference battle. You think it may be a duel with Bowling Green, Michigan State or maybe Miami (Ohio). You figure that your first game at Yost Ice Arena is sometime within the first five games. Then you see that your first true home game is Nov. 8 against Ohio State due to the renovation of the arena. So you point your finger up to the beginning of the schedule and find out that the first game in your CCHA career is against none other than ... Alaska- Fairbanks. Alaska-Fairbanks?! That's right. In addition to playing a team that is not in the lower 48 states, you will be going there to play the game. That's the position the Wolverines find themselves in for the next two nights. You might as well be in Russia. The Wolverines will be closer to Asia than the U.S. mainland. In their second year in the conference, the Nanooks (0-3 CCHA, 0-5 overall) host the Wolverines in a pair of games, tonight and tomorrow night, at the Carlson Center in Fairbanks. Both games begin at 7 p.m. Alaska time, which is midnight, Ann Arbor time. Kevin Magnuson, Andrew Merrick and Sean Peach can say that they will be the first Michigan freshmen to play a conference game against Alaska- Fairbanks in Alaska. No. I Michigan (3-0) is outside the mainland for the second time in team history. The only other time the two teams met in Alaska was in the first two games of the 1993-94 season when the Nanooks were not part of the CCHA. The Wolverines won both games, 6-3 and 4-3. This season's nine-man senior class was there. But it's not only the games the seniors remember - it is the entire Alaska experience. "It was a real different lifestyle and culture up there," Michigan's Harold Schock said. "There were huge stuffed bears in every restaurant." The only things on this trip that are stuffed is the players' and coaches' lug- gage. Michigan took the half-day flight to Alaska on Tuesday morning, packing plenty of warm clothes and school books. When the Wolverines wake up in Alaska today, it will be a shock to their systems. The players and coaches will walk outside to feel below-zero temper- atures, which will rise to a whopping 15 See NANOOKS, Page 15A Online Daily - http:/Iwww.pub.umich.edu/daily/ Use it everyday.
