Michigan set for exhibition

By KEVIN SANTO

Daily Sports Writer

Fresh off a series against Ohio 

State that featured a win and a tie, 
the No. 7 Michigan hockey team 
won’t play any 
Big Ten games 
this week.

Instead, 

following 
two of their 
most dramatic 
games 
of 

the year, the 
Wolverines 
have 
their 

second 
and 
final 

exhibition 
of 

the season on 
the horizon.

Michigan 

and Ohio State combined for 
24 goals, and the Wolverines 
recovered from three-goal and 
two-goal deficits Friday and 
Sunday, 
respectively. 
After 

Sunday’s match, a brawl broke out 
after the final buzzer to punctuate 
the showdown. 

Now, Michigan will face the 

U-18 
United 
States 
National 

Talent 
Development 
Program 

on Thursday for the 16th time in 
program history.

Though there aren’t any points 

up for grabs in the contest, there 
is something else worth taking 
the ice for.

“This is like a home game for 

them when they play a Division I 
team,” said Michigan coach Red 
Berenson. “I don’t know if any 
Division I teams have come to 
play in their rink. But typically 
they play on the road. They know 
some of our players, and some of 
our players played in the program, 
so there’s some bragging rights 

going on.”

The Wolverines (5-1-2 Big Ten, 

14-3-4 overall) have maintained 
the majority of those bragging 
rights — boasting a 13-2-0 all-
time record — but will be short-
handed for the matchup, partly 
due to the consequences that 
were handed down from the 
Big Ten following the postgame 
fiasco against Ohio State.

Sophomore defenseman Cutler 

Martin and sophomore forward 
Dexter Dancs will be unavailable 
as they serve part of their 
respective suspensions.

As for health scratches, junior 

defenseman Kevin Lohan will 
remain out as he recovers from 
a back injury, and sophomore 
defenseman 
Zach 
Werenski 

could 
be 
sidelined 
with 

“bruising” as well.

With the roster dwindling, 

Michigan will have to use every 
option in the depth chart — 
replacing Martin with sophomore 
defenseman Sam Piazza and 
slotting 
either 
sophomore 

forward Niko Porikos or junior 
forward Evan Allen in for Dancs.

Despite the currently depleted 

roster, the USNTDP will still 
have its hands full. No college 
program has been able to stifle the 
Wolverine offense, demonstrated 
by their nation-leading average of 
4.86 goals per game.

Even more intimidating is the 

fact the Michigan’s first line is 
made up of three Hobey Baker 
candidates who have scored 16 
goals in four games.

But that’s not to say the USNTDP 

doesn’t have talent of its own. 

“If you think we’ve got one line 

that is really good — well they have 
one, too,” Berenson said. “Wait 
until you see (Kiefer) Bellows, 
(Clayton) 
Keller 
and 
(Joey) 

Anderson play. They’ll be giving 
our D fits, so this will be good.”

Five future Wolverines will 

also lace up to play the team they 
will be a part of next year.

The exhibition provides the 

quintet with a unique opportunity 
to get a taste of what it’s like to 
play at their future school and 
to make an impression, a feeling 
Michigan 
freshman 
forward 

Brendan Warren knows well.

“Last year, I was super excited 

to be able to play at my future 
school,” Warren said. “This year, 
it’s kind of cool playing against 
the program where I used to be. 
The Big Ten is kind of a gritty 
game. … The (USNTDP has) been 
playing together for two years, 
and they’re going to be a pretty 

well-oiled machine. It’s gonna be 
totally different playing against 
guys that are super structured 
and really skilled.”

It will be a low-stakes game for 

the Wolverines. A loss wouldn’t 
jeopardize their Pairwise ranking. 
A win won’t improve their résumé.

But pride is on the line, and 

Berenson doesn’t expect anything 
less than the typical production 
from his team.

“We’re going to play hard and 

fast, and there’s going to be some 
physicality,” Berenson said. “But 
we don’t want any nonsense, we 
don’t want any stupidity, we don’t 
want a penalty-filled game. We 
want it to be a real good hockey 
game. They’re a skilled team and 
they’re fast.”

games, clearing out full lower-
bowl sections to create a more 
student-driven environment.

The catch-22, Hackett said, 

is obvious — the games students 
want to attend most will be 
those for which season-ticket 
holders are least willing to trade 
their seats. 

“The economic pressure was 

to build economic loyalty so we 
could remodel Crisler Arena 
(in 2011),” Hackett said. “So 
this is a paradox of the highest 
order. The students make the 
environment. … When I was 
here in the 1970s, it was a gift 
to get a ticket down low because 
the students didn’t really have 
seats.

“It was really limited — they 

stood in line all night to buy 
them. Now, this is so much 
more, but you see around the 
country how important it is to 
have that band,” Hackett said, 
gesturing to the half-ring of 
students who flank the court on 
Crisler Center’s north and west 
sides.

Hackett might not have much 

time left to implement the idea, 
however, as he and University 
President 
Mark 
Schlissel 

announced in December that 
the search for a long-term 
athletic director is ongoing.

Hackett provided no update 

on the timetable Wednesday, 
stressing 
that 
his 
personal 

willingness to stay on until a 
decision is reached has made 
for a relaxed and relatively low-
pressure search.

“We’re right in the middle of 

it,” Hackett said. “You know, the 
great news is that I don’t have to 
fly out of here, so the president’s 
proceeding with great care and 
consideration, looking at lots 
of candidates. So I’m really 
optimistic we’re going to get a 
great answer there.”

Michigan 
softball 
coach 

Carol Hutchins is the lone coach 
on the seven-member search 
committee 
Schlissel 
created 
in 
early 

December, 
but 
Hackett 

said he’s been 
receiving 
input 
from 

a 
range 
of 

coaches, both 
via 
Hutchins 

and 
through 

his own conversation, saying 
he had spoken Wednesday with 
men’s basketball coach John 
Beilein and hockey coach Red 
Berenson, among others.

Among 
Hutchins’ 

responsibilities is to regularly 
poll other coaches for their input, 
and 
Hackett 
characterized 

his communication with all 
Michigan coaches as a “constant 
dialogue.” 

Hackett, 
of 
course, 
also 

maintains a constant dialogue 
with his highest-profile hire — 
Michigan football coach Jim 
Harbaugh. Hackett declined to 
directly confirm reports that 
Harbaugh will move a portion of 
the Wolverines’ spring practices 
to the IMG Sports Academy 
in Florida, but said Harbaugh 
has 
relatively 
free 
rein 
in 

determining practice logistics, 
as do all coaches. 

“Last year, he did ‘Class on 

the Grass,’ and I thought that 

was quite innovative,” Hackett 
said, referring to last year’s 
marathon 
spring 
practices, 

which were often as long as four 
hours. “Spring ball is a time 
where they make tremendous 
strides. … Certainly last year, 
they had a new coach, and they 
were excited about proving 
themselves. 
So 
any 
ideas 

that 
build 
enthusiasm 
and 

excitement are really smart. 
So you can attribute any kind 
of practice thing in any of the 
sports to the coaches.”

As 
Harbaugh 
innovates, 

however, Berenson is seeing 
success with much the same 
script that has brought him 
success throughout his 30-year 
tenure as Michigan’s hockey 
coach.

Berenson’s 
retirement 

has long been rumored to be 
imminent, but Hackett said 
little regarding the prospect 
that he’ll orchestrate another 
high-profile coaching search in 
the coming months as hockey 
season winds down.

“With respect to Red and 

what he’s meant to Michigan 
— he’s a legend, and isn’t it 
amazing, 
by 
the 
way, 
the 

number of legendary coaches 
we’ve had here? — I don’t want 
to diminish his year at all by 
speculating what his future 
is,” Hackett said, emphasizing 
that Berenson’s future is in 
Berenson’s hands alone. “The 
ceremony of his status is going 
to be very precious to me, 
so that’s why I’m saving the 
outcome of that question until 
the right time.”

Hackett 
did 
acknowledge 

Berenson, whose Wolverines 
are off to a 14-3-4 start, will 
have a higher-than-typical level 
of control over the search for his 
successor.

“Yes, it’s fair to say that,” 

Hackett said. “I’ll tell you why — 
Bo (Schembechler) did, and John 
Beilein is going to. What you 
have in them is someone really 
proximate to the competitive 
environment, what’s it take, 
the recruiting at Michigan, 

particularly if 
they’ve 
been 

successful. 
If 

you 
haven’t, 

then 
you’re 

adopting 
a 

different 
theology, 
so 

to speak. But 
here’s a guy 
that’s 
been 

legendary. 
I 

tell you, I love 

all the coaches … he’s a special 
guy to work with.”

Hackett and Berenson had 

to work together under the 
wrong circumstances this week, 
however, as the Wolverines 
continue to deal with the fallout 
of a brawl during their 8-6 win 
over Ohio State on Sunday. The 
Big Ten handed down a three-
game 
suspension 
to 
Cutler 

Martin for punching a player 
already subdued by a linesman, 
a 
punishment 
Hackett 
said 

Michigan will accept without 
appeal.

In other news, Hackett seems 

intent on adding to his ever-
growing popularity in his time 
at the University, as MLive and 
the Detroit Free Press reported 
separately on Wednesday that 
Hackett planned to donate half 
of his $600,000 earnings to 
Athletes Connected, an athlete-
specific wing of the University 
Depression Center.
