BROADMOOR TROPHY AWARDED TO WCHA PLAYOFF CHAMPIONThe second of the WCHA’s two major championship trophies for men’s competition is the Broadmoor Trophy, which has been awarded annually since 1985 to the winner of the conference’s post-season championship tournament. The history of the Broadmoor Trophy dates to 1981, when it was first presented to the conference by the world-renowned Broadmoor Hotel and Resort Complex of Colorado Springs, Colo. For the first three

seasons of its partnership with the WCHA (1981-1984) – and due to the departure of league member and MacNaughton Cup (regular season championship trophy) custodian Michigan Tech to the CCHA – the Broadmoor Trophy was presented to the Association’s regular season champion. But when the Huskies returned to the WCHA in 1984 – with the MacNaughton Cup in hand – the Broadmoor Trophy became, and has remained since, the symbol of the league’s post-sea-son tournament championship. In March of 2010, in conjunction with the annual WCHA Final Five, the Association unveiled a striking new Broadmoor Trophy. The new bronze cast trophy, created by Blue Ribbon Trophies & Awards of Colorado Springs, Colo., is a recreation of the famous Broadmoor Hotel. Long an ardent supporter of college hockey, the Broadmoor Hotel included the former Broadmoor World Arena, which hosted the NCAA Ice Hockey Championship a total of 11 times between 1948 and 1969. There are a total of three Broadmoor trophies. The largest is currently on display at Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul in conjunction with the WCHA Final Five, one is a traveling trophy, and one is awarded to the winning team each year as a permanent addition to their display case.

FINAL FIVE OVERTIME PROCEDURESWhere advancement in a bracket or the determination of a tournament champion is necessary, any game that results in a tie will be broken by 20-minute sudden-death overtime periods. The ice shall be resurfaced upon completion of regulation play, as well as after each succeeding 20-minute overtime period. Intermissions between overtimes will be the same as between the first, second and third periods. The teams will change ends at the start of each 20-minute overtime period for the entire time that it takes to determine a winner.

FINAL FIVE TIMEOUTSOfficial Timeouts: There will be four, 1:00 official timeouts per periods one, two and three. Timeouts are to be taken at the first stoppage of play after the 16:00, 12:00, 8:00 and 4:00 marks. There will be no timeouts taken during power-plays. No timeouts may be taken after an icing. No timeouts may not be taken if the puck is shot directly out of the defensive zone by a defensive player. Timeouts are discouraged (but not prohibited) during even-strength shorthanded play. There will be no timeouts during overtime for all 2013 Red Baron™ WCHA Final Five games.

LONGTIME WCHA COACH JEFF SAUER NAMED HOBEY BAKER LEGEND OF HOCKEYSt. Paul, Minn. – The Hobey Baker Memorial Award Foundation is very pleased to announce its 2013 Legend of Hockey recipient is Jeff Sauer. A veteran of 31 years coaching at the elite Division 1 college level in the WCHA, Sauer is the only person in league annals to coach 30 seasons and is also the winningest coach. Following his playing career at Colorado College in the mid-1960s, Sauer joined legendary coach Bob Johnson as an assistant at CC in 1966, then, followed Johnson to Wisconsin in a similar capacity in 1968. The head coaching job opened at Colorado College in 1971 and coach Sauer began his extensive career guiding the Tigers for the next 11 seasons until 1982. At that point, Badger Bob Johnson accepted the head coaching reigns with the NHL’s Calgary Flames and Sauer was named the next Wisconsin head coach. In his first season behind the Badger bench, coach Sauer claimed the NCAA tournament title in 1982-83, the first time in NCAA history a coach had won the title in his inaugural season. He added a second national championship with the Badgers in 1990. Sauer went on to coach Wisconsin for 20 years, retiring following the 2002 hockey

season. In WCHA play at Wisconsin, Sauer’s teams finished amongst the top three teams in 14 of his 20 seasons and won league titles in 1990 and 2000. Jeff ranks fifth all-time in games coached at 1244 and is eighth overall in college hockey wins at 655 between his stints with Colorado College and Wisconsin. As one of the most respected coaches in the game, coach Sauer has continued to be the consummate diplomat to the sport. During the 1990s, Sauer has worked with USA Hockey with a variety of teams competing on the national and international stage. Forty years ago, Jeff became involved with former Chicago Black Hawks star Stan Makita, assisting him with summer camps for the hearing-impaired. For the past half dozen years, Jeff has been work-ing with the U.S. Deaflympics program, and is presently assembling a squad to participate in the World Deaf Hockey Championships to be held in Helsinki, Finland at the end of March. His work with the Deaflympics program led to another passion of his, coaching the U.S. Sled Hockey team the past three years since the 2010 Vancouver winter Olympics. Jeff will be taking a team comprised of handicapped sled hockey players to Seoul, South Korea for the World Championships coming up in April. If all that is not enough, Sauer serves as a disciplinary judge for the IIHF World Hockey Championships coming up in Helsinki in mid-May featuring some of the top pro and amateur players in the world. Jeff also continues in his role as an Assistant to the Commissioner in the WCHA. His legacy has not gone unnoticed as Jeff was honored by USA Hockey in 2000 with their Distinguished Achievement Award and by the NHL in 2011 as a recipient of their Lester Patrick Award for outstanding contributions to hockey in the U.S. Sauer will be honored along with this year’s Hobey Baker Award winner at the Hobey Baker Award banquet May 22 in St. Paul, Minn. Banquet tickets are available by visiting the Hobey website at hobey-bakeraward.com.

WCHA GRANTS FULL-TIME MEMBERSHIP TO UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA IN HUNTSVILLECHARGERS TO BECOME 10TH MEMBER OF MEN’S LEAGUE

The Western Collegiate Hockey Association men’s membership voted January 17 to admit the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) as a full-time men’s conference member. The vote of approval was taken after UAH submitted an application for membership and made a formal presentation to a WCHA group of member-team Presidents and Athletic Directors at a meeting held in conjunction with the NCAA Convention in Dallas, Tex. The addition of University of Alabama in Huntsville into college hockey’s most historic and successful conference will bring future men’s league membership to 10 teams. Their membership will be effective as soon as 2013-14. WCHA men’s membership in 2013-14 currently consists of University of Alaska Anchorage, University of Alaska Fairbanks, Bemidji State University, Bowling Green State University, Ferris State University, Lake Superior State University, Michigan Technological University, Minnesota State University, Mankato and Northern Michigan Uni-versity. In issuing a joint statement on behalf of the Association, Dr. Richard Davenport, President of Minnesota State University, Mankato and Chair of the WCHA President’s Group, and Bruce McLeod, Commissioner of the WCHA, said “The WCHA is delighted to have reached in principle an agreement to officially welcome University of Alabama in Hunts-ville into the Association family as a full-time men’s member. This is a significant day for the Chargers, the community of Huntsville, the conference itself, and college hockey in general. Growing the game and assisting developing programs however possible has always been a charge of the WCHA and this is another positive evolution in our history. “Each of our member institutions are 100% committed to keeping the WCHA among the premier conferences in all of collegiate athletics and our respective ice hockey programs both strong and vibrant. The University of Alabama in Huntsville is a dynamic, top-quality institu-tion with an excellent academic and athletic reputation and without question the Chargers are going to be a great fit and a successful, contributing member. “Just as the entire UAH campus and the Huntsville community are exhilarated to now have a welcoming home for their men’s hockey program, the WCHA is also extremely proud and gratified to be pro-viding that home.” Said University of Alabama in Huntsville President Robert Alten-kirch, “We’re pleased that our ice hockey team is going to have the opportunity to compete and grow in a NCAA Division 1 conference. We believe that our affiliation with the Western Collegiate Hockey Association will be a tremendous boost to our recruiting, scheduling and our ability to be competitive on the ice. “We want to thank the WCHA and its member institutions for their confidence in allowing us to be a part of their conference. Their affir-

mative vote will invigorate our ability to maintain our great hockey tradition.” UAH Director of Athletics Dr. E.J. Brophy said, “All athletic programs experience special defining moments, and our hockey program’s acceptance today into the Western Collegiate Hockey Association is certainly one of those moments. The WCHA is a preeminent hockey conference in America, and I know that our student-athletes, coach-es, fans, friends, alums and the people of Huntsville are ecstatic and proud of this giant step for our ice hockey program. “The last time we were in a conference, we won the conference tournament and advanced to the NCAA tournament, which will be our immediate and ambitious goal when we begin play in the WCHA. It is a banner day for the Chargers.” The men’s Western Collegiate Hockey Association, home to a record 37 national championships teams since it’s founding in 1951, has been operating as a 12-team conference for the 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons. Current members are University of Alaska Anchorage, Bemidji State University, Colorado College, University of Denver, Michigan Technological University, University of Minnesota, University of Min-nesota Duluth, Minnesota State University, University of Nebraska Omaha, University of North Dakota, St. Cloud State University and University of Wisconsin. On March 21, 2011, the Big Ten Conference announced the formation of a new Division 1 men’s college hockey league that would include current WCHA-members Minnesota and Wisconsin and begin play in 2013-14. On July 13, 2012, Colorado College, Denver, Minnesota Duluth, Nebraska Omaha and North Dakota announced they would be leaving the WCHA following the 2012-13 season to form another new league, known as the National Collegiate Hockey Conference, which also begins play in 2013-14. Then on Sept. 22, 2011, St. Cloud State announced they were leaving the WCHA for the NCHC.

ABOUT UAH HOCKEYThe University of Alabama in Huntsville hockey program has been playing as an NCAA Division I independent since the end of the 2009-10 season following the dissolution of the CHA (College Hockey America). The program was dropped back to club status for a brief stint in the spring of 2012, and then revived a short time later. The program struggled to fill a 2012-13 schedule, as previously scheduled teams dropped UAH upon the canceling of the program. Known as the “Hockey Capital of the South,” UAH has been playing NCAA hockey since 1985. The program won two NCAA Division II Championships in the mid-1990’s, before Div. II hockey was dropped. The program has seen massive facility upgrades, as well as a new coaching staff with professional experience and high expectations. UAH has made an appearance in six NCAA Tournaments and is cur-rently the only D1 hockey program without a home in 2013-14.

WCHA Men’s Tie-Breaking Procedures - For Playoff Purposes Only At the conclusion of the regular season, teams will be ranked by the number of points accumulated. If two teams are tied for first place, they will be declared co-WCHA champions. The first round of the WCHA's post-season tournament will be a best-of-three games format at the home site of the teams ranked higher in the final regular season standings. All 12 teams participate in the first round of the tournament. First round playoff pairings will be: #1 rank vs #12 rank, #2 rank vs #11 rank, #3 vs #10, #4 vs #9, 5# vs #8, and #6 vs #7. Following the six first round series, the six winning teams will be re-seeded #1 thru #6 according to their standings in the final WCHA in-season competition and will advance to the WCHA Final Five. In the event that ties are encountered in the determination of WCHA ranking or designation of home teams for playoff purposes, the following procedures will be used in the order given to break the ties: a) If two or more teams are tied, head-to-head competition during the regular (conference) season will be used to break the tie. b) If two or more teams are still tied after (a), the highest seed will go to the team with the most WCHA (conference) wins during the regular season. c) If two or more teams played a four-game series during the regular season and the teams have the same win-loss records for those series and the same number of WCHA wins, the team having the least number of goals scored against it in the four-game series shall have the higher rank. If two or more teams played a two-game series during the regular season, procede to tie-breaker d). d) If two or more teams are still tied after applying the provisions of (a), (b) and (c), the team having the greatest "winning margin" during the regular season will have the higher rank. Winning margin = WCHA goals for during the regular season minus WCHA goals against. e) Games played against WCHA opponents in holiday tournaments will not be counted in the determinations.
