The Notre Dame basketball team reached the Sweet 16 last Saturday with a roster of shaved heads. And the Michigan hockey team is hoping that facial hair will power them to the Frozen Four. The Wolverines decided to show some unity for the postseason by putting the Mach 3s away for a while. Now that a few weeks have passed, not everyone is pleased with how things look. "I'm not a big fan of (the facial hair)," associ- ate head coach Mel Pearson said. "I know we have some players who can't grow any facial hair. So it looks kind of weird - some guys with it, some guys without it." Last year, the Michigan players dyed their hair blonde for the most important games of the season. But that didn't work, as a 3-2 loss to Minnesota dropped the Wolverines in the semi- finals of the Frozen Four. And Pearson liked that look even less. "I don't know who did it, but they had some issues last year," Pearson said. "It was bad. It wasn't like it was a little dyed, it was all differ- ent colors. So I didn't think it looked good." This year, the team decided to try something a little different. And after winning the Mason Cup this past weekend at Joe Louis Arena, none of the players seem to care what they look like. "It's like sacrificing for the team," alter- nate captain Andy Burnes said. "You give up a little bit of your looks for the sake of the team. So it's fun." That doesn't mean that they won't give each other a hard time about it. Backup goalie Noah Ruden said center Andrew Ebbett, his room- mate, could use a little work on his. "We say he's got the 'Joe Dirt' look, because he's got the chops coming in only and the goatee, he can't really grow anything else," said Ruden, pointing to his cheeks where Ebbett is missing hair. "So I kind of give him stuff for that." The Wolverines aren't alone in their supersti- tions. In Detroit, it seemed like every team at the CCHA Super Six had done something. Fer- ris State had beards. The Northern Michigan freshmen had shaved heads. Pearson said that he feels the only effect any of those things might have is to give the team a bit of a mental edge. Whatever impact the beards have, it seems that the hockey postseason brings out more superstition than any other sport. "Maybe it's because we have the shields on, For the first time in a long time, there is reason for optimism at the Fish. The Wolverines will take on Central Michigan for the second-straight time. On Sunday they fell victim to the Chippewas 12-8 after surrendering eight runs in the fifth To inning at the Butler Classic in Indi- anapolis..Michig "We'd really like to get back at Cen- tral," senior Gino Lollio said. "That was a team we could beat, we're excit- Ray Fi ed to get another shot at them." Stadi Due to the nature of Michigan win- ters, the team was forced to open its season on the road for 16 games before its home opener today. Playing 10-plus games in unfamiliar confines can be quite a daunting task, and all too often, the Wolverines get back to the Fish with a record that is seemingly impossible to recover from. "It's tough, but it's not like we really have a choice in the matter," Lollio said. "We play a lot of the games at neutral sites, not road games, so that makes it a little easier." There was no room for optimism at last year's home opener. The Wolverines struggled mightily out of the gate last season. By the time they played their first game in Ann Arbor, they were a dreadful 2-10. Even though they won six of their first seven at the Fish, they could never climb out of that enormous hole. But today the Wolverines will open with a respectable 7-9 record. "The road is great for team bonding," coach Rich Maloney said. "But, it's always easier to play at home. We're excited to be home for pretty much all ofApril" The Wolverines have to be excited considering they will play 18 of their - next 24 games at the Fish. l ; < >Last year's home opener was one m of the few bright spots for Michigan. sher After trailing 3-2 in the top of the '$> eighth to Bowling Green, Lollio answered with a two-run homerun that gave Michigan a 4-3 win. The senior is hop- ing for a similar outcome this year. "It would be great to get off to a good start here," Lollio said. "Hopefully I can con- tribute to a 'W' again." The outfielder is excited to finally play in front of a home crowd. "There's nothing like seeing familiar faces in the crowd," Lollio said. "It's been a long time since we had that." Lollio also likes the familiarity that playing at the Fish brings. "When it gets warm we practice there every day," Lollio said. "We're more comfortable there then anywhere else." Seniors John Shouneyia (left) and Mark Mink do their best to look like Sly Stallone from "Rocky IV." we feel a little bit more free to do what we want with our hair and facial hair," Ruden said. "I don't know. I think as a breed, we're a little bit crazier than most. We come up with some crazy ideas to do." The only consensus seems to be that if it works, stick with it. "If we win it (all), for sure I'll keep (the beard) on," Ruden said.
