12 -- The Michigan Daily - fuesaay, September 26, 2000 Icers practice for real this time By Jon Schwartz Daily Sports Writer The Michigan hockey team had its first practice yesterday - for the second time. After six "captains' practices" where the team drilled and scrimmaged as they normally would, only under the direction of the captains, the coaches laced up their skates and ran yesterday's two-hour session. And while they were only mildly pleased with what they saw, all three coaches understood that yesterday was just the beginning of what will be a long and probably rewarding season. "Our team is ready to work hard," Michigan coach Red Berenson said. "The execution was pretty good right away. They just have to get fine-tuned and improve." To do that, the coaches have 10 days until the start of the regular season, with Colgate, New Hampshire and North Dakota coming into town for the lee Breakcr Tournament on Oct. 6 and 7. In the meantime, the Blue-White scrimmage and the exhibition against Wilfred Laurier this weekend will both be a far better gauge of the team's progress than can be seen in the first- practice. Still, senior Mark Kosick said he was happy with the team's effort yesterday. "We were skating pretty good," he said. "The team feels like it's excited and everybody seems to have a good attitude so that's important:' But success doesn't come naturally to any team - it must be worked for. Yesterday, the work began. Not until the season ends in six-and-a-half months will there be any let-up. STARS ON ICE: While many players were adjusting to the more up-tempo speed of the practice, all eyes focused on assistant captain Scott Matzka. The senior flew around the ice leading his linemates - senior Josh Langfeld and freshman Andy Hilbert - in the drills and the scrimmage. But ever more important was that Kosick returned to the ice after injuring his groin during one of the captains' practices. "I thought (Kosick) looked good," Berenson said. "He's skating well and he feels good." Kosick, one of the fastest skaters on the ice, is a key to the Wolverines suc- cess this year Still recovering from knee surgery over the summer as well as the groin strain, Kosick knew that sitting out a few practices would be far better than rein- Blue-White game Friday night, the Michigan hockey team will open the 2000-2001 season with the annual Blue-White exhibition presented hy Mr. Spots. Game time is 7:30 p.m. at Yost Ice Arena. The game presents Michigan fans with an opportunity to get autographs from players and coaches and skate around Yost's ice with them after the game.

Students can pick up their season packages Wednesday. juring himself and subjecting the team to playing without him in the regular sea- son. "It's a little sore but I'm getting there" he said. Coot DOWN: On Friday, summer turned to fall, bringing with it the cold, temperatures that make Michigan so much fun in the non-summer seasons. Apparently, sophomore forward Mike Cammalleri and junior defenseman Jeff Jillson didn't notice, as both came down with colds over the weekend. Cammalleri's was bad enough to keep him home for the day, but Jillson was able to practice with the team. BRANDONsEDLOFF/Daly LJ. Scarpace makes the save in Michigan's first practice yesterday.

As for the Rocky Harvey fumble, Illinois' first of two in the final min- utes, Carr said "there was no ques- tion it was a fumble," despite Illinois' protests that the ground caused the ball to pop loose. Big Ten officiating coordinator David Parry said in a released state- nest that bosh disputed fumble rul- ngs would Ihae gone Illinois' wnay instead nof Michigan's if an instant replay system wnas in use Saturday. IINsON iP®:1i: Benson had X- rays taken yesterday and discussed them with team doctor Ed Wojtys. Carr will also meet with doctors to decide whether Henson will make his first-ever start Saturday. A confirma- tion will likely not happen until game time, leaving both fans and Wisconsin in the dark. "Based on what I saw, I am opti- mistic," Carr said. Carr's biggest worry is that Henson may reinjure his foot much like Jake Fsysinger did against Bowling Green.

Wings sign Koslov to two-year contract DETROIT (AP) - The Detroit Red Wings on Sunday signed restricted free agent left wing Slava Kozlov to a two- year contract. Financial terms were not disclosed.

"We're glad to have Slava signed and in camp," Red Wings general manager Ken Holland said.

Griese expected to start against New England DENVER (AP) - Denver coach Mike Shanahan expects quarterback Brian Giese to start Sunday against New England. Griese, the NFL's top-rated passer, tore cartilage in his throwing shoulder against Oakland a week ago and missed the Broncos' 23-22 loss-to Kansas City on Sunday. The plan was for Griese to throw Friday in hopes of playing Sunday. When he couldn't throw Friday because of pain and inflammation, he was expected to throw during warmups so he could be a backup to Gus Frerotte. Griese couldn't thrown then, either.
