Note: Since a certain Gayzette reporter has decided not to link to my blog I will no longer be posting her stories (with due credit of course) here on the blog, simply links, sorry if there is any inconvenience, HA.

#2 Tigers ready to roll on

The Tigers get an A+ grade on this week's WCHA report card

Here are some other stories from the CC website, including Bachman being the Rookie of the Month

Bachman named National Rookie of the Month
Freshman goaltender Richard Bachman, who backstopped WCHA-leading Colorado College’s six-game winning streak against nationally ranked opponents in November, has been named National Rookie of the Month by the Hockey Commissioners’ Association. He was a unanimous selection for the honor, earning all five first-place votes. Now 9-2 overall for the season, Bachman finished with a 6-1 record, 1.72 GAA and .944 saves percentage in seven starts against North Dakota, Wisconsin, Minnesota Duluth and Denver last month. He won his first eight league outings before finally losing 3-2 to the Pioneers at Magness Arena on Nov. 24. He earlier posted his first career shutout with 34 saves in a 3-0 triumph over UMD on Nov. 10 and has allowed one or fewer goals in seven of his 11 starts. The Highlands Ranch, Colo., native already has earned three Player of the Week awards in the WCHA, including Rookie of the Week recognition twice in November after the Tigers swept Duluth and split with DU. He also picked up a pair of assists – on a key shorthanded tally by Scott Thauwald in a 4-1 victory at North Dakota on Nov. 3, as well as on Chad Rau’s game-winning goal against UMD in a 5-3 home-ice triumph on Nov. 9.

Sweatt to play at World Juniors again
Sophomore left wing Bill Sweatt, who helped the United States claim a bronze medal at last year’s IIHF World Junior Championship, is one of 12 forwards named to Team USA for the 2008 version of the event scheduled for Dec. 26 through Jan. 5 in the Czech Republic. The American roster, which includes 22 players in all. was announced live during Versus’ national telecast of the Detroit Red Wings-Montreal Canadiens NHL game on Tuesday evening. Due to his participation in the tournament, Sweatt will miss CC’s two games at the Lightning College Hockey Classic in Tampa, Fla. (Dec. 29-30) as well as its series at the University of Wisconsin the following weekend (Jan. 4-5). He collected 15 (5g,10a) of his 26 points as a freshman in 2006-07 in 14 outings after returning from the international competition a year ago. A second-round draft choice of the Chicago Blackhawks last summer, he currently ranks second among the Tigers with 13 points (4g,9a) overall this season and is tied for fifth among WCHA players with 11 (3g,8a) in league play.

Tigers sweep Duluth behind Bachman's shutout

CC finished of Duluth tonight 3-0 to improve to 5-3 (5-1WCHA) before a big showdown with Wisconsin next weekend. Freshman Richard Bachman stopped 34 shots to earn the shutout for the Tigers. More to come as the weekend rolls on.
From USCHO: The No. 9 Colorado College Tigers are probably more concerned with wins and standings, and their impressive 3-0 shutout win, coupled with Michigan Tech's loss to St. Cloud State, vaulted the Tigers into sole possession of first in the ever-competitive WCHA. In the process of doing so, Tigers' coach Scott Owens earned his 200th career win.
