After a week of official practice,
the players on the Michigan hockey
team are itching to play a game. In
Saturday night's 7 p.m. Blue-White
game, they'll get their chance - sort
of.
The crowd will be there, the band
will be there, and the score will be
kept. The only thing that will be miss-
ing is an opponent.
"The only difference is that we'll
be playing our own teammates so
we're not going to be trying to hurt
anybody," freshman Mark Kosick
said. "The score's going to be up on
the board and our team is going to
want to win for bragging rights."
Even though they won't face their
first real opponent for another week,
the players are looking forward to
getting the season started.
"It's kind of the kickoff to the sea-
son," senior Matt Herr said. "From
this point on until hopefully April 1,
you're going to be playing hockey
every weekend. (The Blue-White
game) is something that I look for-
ward to as the official start to the sea-
son."
With the departure of nine seniors
from last year's team, the Wolverines
will be looking to get contributions


from other places. For many plavers,
the Blue-White game will be their
first opportunity to prove that they're
ready to fill the void.
"There are a lot of question narls
on this team," Michigan coach Red
Berenson said. "And it's not just the
freshmen, but a lot of returning
upperclassmen. We need them' to
show us that they're ready to play a
.bigger role on this team than they
have up until this point."
For freshmen on the team the game
will also be their first chance to expe-
rience the atmosphere at Yost Ice
Arena.
"I remember back when I was ,a
freshman, the firsttime that I stepped
on the ice - even though it was a
Blue-White game, I don't know if
I've ever been more excited," junior
Bubba Bernzweig said. "For the 10
new guys stepping onto the ice listen-
ing to the band, it'll be a serious game
because they're going to be pretty
pumped up."
This year's game takes on added
significance because it is Michigan's
only chance to play in a game situa-
tion before playing Minnesota in the
Hall of Fame game in Minneapolis.
Typically, the Wolverines would play
a Canadian team as a tune-up before
their first game against an American
team, but this year, Michigan won't
play Toronto until after Minnesota.
"We're going to have to find out
what's wrong, now in the blue-white
game,' Herr said. "Minnesota is a
real big game for us. It'll be like mid-
season prime tilt."
