The puck drops at 7:07 p.m. each night at the Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center (5,294). THE RECORDS: The Bulldogs, who are off to a 3-0-1 start in 2010-11, were 22-17-1 in all games one year ago and tied for fourth place (with the University of North Dakota) in the WCHA standings at 16-11-1. Alaska Anchorage, 1-2-1 this season, posted a 1123-5 overall record in 2009-10 and a 9-17-2 WCHA mark (tied for eighth place with Minnesota State University-Mankato). HOW THEY RANK: Here is how the Bulldogs and Seawolves stack up in the latest uscho.com and USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine polls. uscho.com USA Today UMD 6th 5th UAA NR NR ON THE AIR: The UMD-Alaska Anchorage series will be carried locally on 94X (94.1/104.3 FM) with Bruce Ciskie handling the play-by-play and former Bulldog winger Kraig Karakas providing color commentary.

In addition, both of this weekend’s games will be webstreamed live and be available on a pay-per-view basis through B2 Networks at: www.b2livetv.com. THE COACH: The 2003-04 American Hockey Coaches Association NCAA Division I Coach of the Year (Spencer Penrose Award), Scott Sandelin is in his 11th year behind the UMD bench where he has compiled a 169-189-47 overall record -- including a 47-29-10 mark since the 2008-09 opener. In addition to posting back-to-back 22-win seasons, his Bulldogs have advanced to five of the past eight WCHA Final Five tournaments and, in March 2009, became the first play-in game participant to win it all in that event’s history. UMD also strung together a school-record sixgame postseason winning streak in 2008-09 until it fell to Miami University 2-1 in the NCAA West Regional final. Six years ago, Sandelin, 46, turned UMD into a NCAA Frozen Four participant for the first time in nearly a generation, marshaling his troops to their most victories (they were 28-13-4 overall) and highest WCHA finish (second place on a 19-7-2 mark) in 11 seasons. For his efforts, the Hibbing, Minn., native was chosen the WCHA Coach of the Year as well as the national coach of the year by both insidecollegehockey.com 2010-11 UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA DULUTH ROSTER No Name Pos Hgt Wgt Yr 2 Brady Lamb D 6-1 215 Jr 4 Dylan Olsen D 6-2 220 So 5 Trent Palm D 6-1 195 Sr 6 Scott Kishel D 6-0 190 Jr 7 Kyle Schmidt W 5-10 175 Sr 8 Drew Olson D 6-0 200 So 10 Dan DeLisle W 6-5 230 So 11 Travis Oleksuk C 6-0 200 Jr 12 Jack Connolly (A) C 5-8 175 Jr 14 Keegan Flaherty W/C 6-0 190 So 15 Jake Hendrickson C 5-10 180 So 17 Mike Seidel W 5-10 185 So 18 Joe Basaraba W 6-2 195 Fr 19 Max Tardy C 6-0 185 Fr 20 Cody Danberg W 6-0 190 Sr 21 Luke McManus D 6-1 190 Fr 22 Mike Connolly (A) W 5-9 180 Jr 23 J.T.

In 2002-03, Sandelin’s Bulldogs went 22-15-5 overall and captured fifth place in the WCHA with a 14-10-4 mark while experiencing the greatest one-season turnaround of any league club that winter. One year earlier, he guided UMD to a 13-24-1 record in all games -- nearly doubling the number of victories from the previous season (7-28-4).

Prior to joining the Fighting Sioux (who won two NCAA titles during his tenure), Sandelin spent the 1993-94 season as the head coach of the Fargo-Moorhead Junior Kings of the Junior Elite Hockey League after working in that same capacity (and doubling as general manager) the previous winter with the American Hockey Association’s Fargo-Moorhead Express. He capped off his four-year playing career at North Dakota in 1985-86 by being named one of 10 finalists for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award. An All-WCHA first team pick and an All-American second team selection as a senior, Sandelin went on to play seven years of professional hockey, which included National Hockey League stints with the Montreal Canadiens (1986-88), Philadelphia Flyers (1990-91) and Minnesota North Stars (199192). Sandelin, one of just two current WCHA coaches to do time in the National Hockey League, was the Montreal Canadiens’ second round pick in the 1982 NHL draft (40th choice overall). He served as Team USA’s head coach at the 2005 International Ice Hockey Federation World Junior Championships and directed that club to a fourth-place finish. Dave Shyiak (Northern Michigan University, 1993) is in his sixth year at the helm of the Alaska Anchorage puck program and has a 51-111-12 record to show for it (including an even 5-5-2 mark against UMD). Shyiak signed on as the fourth head coach in the 26-year history of the Alaska Anchorage hockey program in June 2005 after serving a 10-year assistant coaching stint at his alma mater, Northern Michigan. During that decade stretch, the Wildcats posted seven 20-win seasons, earned six Central Collegiate Hockey Association tournament berths and made one NCAA postseason appearance (1998-99). In 1994-95, Shyiak was employed as the general manager and head coach of the British Columbia Hockey League’s Merritt Centennials and as the head coach of the Rocky Mountain Junior Hockey League’s Kimberley Dynamites one year earlier. A four-year letterman at Northern Michigan, Shyiak co-captained the Wildcats to the 1991 NCAA title. THE SERIES: This weekend’s series will mark the 70th and 71st meetings ever between UMD and Alaska Anchorage. The Bulldogs hold a commanding 38-1912 lead in the all-time series, which began on Nov. 8, 1985 in Duluth, but have managed just one win (6-3 in the 2009-10 regular season finale in Anchorage last March) in their last eight confrontations with the Seawolves (1-5-2). LAST WEEKEND: The Bulldogs swept a two-game set from Providence College in their final home openers ever at the DECC as they bested the Friars 5-3 Friday and 7-1 the following night. Junior left winger Mike Connolly scored twice and helped set up another goal Friday while junior center Travis Oleksuk also chipped in three points on a penalty shot goal and two assists. UMD outshot the visitor from Hockey East 39-14 on the night and 14-6 in the third period. Junior All-American center Jack Connolly (two goals and two assists for a career-high four points) and freshman right winger J.T. Brown (one goal and three assists) paced UMD offensively in the rematch while redshirted freshman netminder Aaron Crandall turned aside 17 of 18 shots to secure his first collegiate win.

Six different Seawolves scored goals in the double setbacks, including Matt Bailey, Jordan Kwas, Scott Warner and Mitch Bruijsten, who all had one assist as well. THIS IS YOUR CAPTAIN SPEAKING: Defenseman Mike Montgomery, one of six seniors on the 2010-11 Bulldog roster, has been entrusted with team captaincy responsibilities this year while All-American junior center Jack Connolly and junior left winger Mike Connolly will serve as alternate captains. A HOME DEBUT TO REMEMBER: J.T. Brown made quite the splash in his first-ever collegiate home appearances and has a WCHA Rookie of the Week award to prove it. The right winger from Burnsville, Minn., landed the league honor after picking up his inaugural goal as a Bulldog in Friday’s 5-3 win over the Friars Friday then turning in a four-point night the following evening as UMD completed the sweep with a 7-1 triumph. He scored once and assisted on three other goals in that rematch victory and was a plus-4 on the night -- and a plus-5 on the weekend. The four points Saturday were the most collected by a Bulldog newcomer since Tim Stapleton was credited with a goal and three assists on Feb. 15, 2003 at Michigan Tech University. SAY GOODNIGHT, DECC: Only three more series, including the one this weekend with Alaska Anchorage, remain on the Bulldogs’ DECC docket as UMD will christen the new $70 million, 6,732 seat AMSOIL Arena on Dec. 30, 2010 with a U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame clash against the University of North Dakota. The Bulldogs have racked up a 454-351-51 record (for a .560 winning percentage) in 856 lifetime outings at the DECC, its home for the past 45 seasons and are 26-12-3 there since the start of 2008-09. TERRIFIC TRIO: The high-octane line of senior right winger Justin Fontaine (3-6=9), junior center Jack Connolly (3-5=8), and junior left winger Mike Connolly (3-5=8) have accounted for nine of UMD’s 21 goals thus far (42.9 percent) and 25 of its 58 points (43.1 percent). Fontaine, who currently shares the WCHA overall scoring lead with the University of NebraskaOmaha’s Rich Purslow, is the only Bulldog who has marked in the points column in all four games do date. SOMETHING’S GOT TO GIVE: The Bulldogs have gotten on the scoreboard first in only one of their four games to date while the Alaska Anchorage has still yet to hold a 1-0 lead at all in 2010-11. EVEN STEVEN: Of the 14 goals senior left winger Kyle Schmidt has collected over the past two seasons (including three in 2010-11), 13 have come in evenstrength situations. No Bulldog has more during that stretch. FREE HOCKEY: UMD is unbeaten in 16 of its last 17 games which have required overtime (6-1-10) with that lone setback being inflicted by Bemidji State University last winter (5-4 on Jan. 23 at the DECC) BULLDOG BITS: The 2010-11 season marks the Bulldogs’ 50th year as a member of the NCAA Division I ranks and their 46th season of WCHA competition ... Junior center Travis Oleksuk cashed in on a penalty shot -- which turned out to be the eventual gamewinner -- late in the second period of Friday’s 5-3 win over Providence College, becoming the first Bulldog 2010-11 UMD SCHEDULE/RESULTS Date Oct. 8 Oct. 9 Oct. 15 Oct. 16 Oct. 22 Oct. 23 Oct. 29 Oct. 30 Nov. 5 Nov. 6 Nov. 12 Nov. 13 Nov. 19 Nov. 20 Dec. 3 Dec. 4 Dec. 10 Dec. 11 Dec. 30 Jan. 3 Jan. 4 Jan. 8 Jan. 14 Jan. 15 Jan. 21 Jan. 22 Feb. 4 Feb. 5 Feb. 11 Feb. 12 Feb. 18 Feb. 19 Feb. 25 Feb. 26 March 4 March 5 March 11-13 March 17-20 March 25-27 April 7 & 9 Opponent/Result Site Time/Att.

Oleksuk was also credited with the game-winning tally one night later ... UMD and Alaska Anchorage have not butted heads in Duluth since March 8-9, 2009 when the Seawolves skated off with a couple of one-goal victories (5-4 and 4-3). That might have served as a wake-up call of sorts for the Bulldogs, who went on to win a school-record six straight postseason games and the WCHA Final Five title before bowing out to the University of Miami in the NCAA West Regional final ... Right winger J.T. Brown, who paces all Bulldog newcomers in points with six (two goals and four assists), will bring a three-game scoring streak into Friday night’s engagement against Alaska Anchorage ... UMD, which owned the third most efficient power play in the country last winter (23.0 percent) after finishing fourth nationally the previous year in that department, are currently sixth in that department among the 12 WCHA schools at 28 percent (sevenof-25). The managed just one power play goal in seven chances Saturday night against Providence College ... The Bulldogs haven’t been shut out in the regular season since dropping a 2-0 decision to North Dakota on March 1, 2008 in Duluth, but have been blanked twice since then --- in the WCHA playoffs by Denver (1-0 on March 15, 2008) and North Dakota (2-0 on March 15, 2010). Prior to the that 2-0 loss to the Fighting Sioux last March at the WCHA Final Five tournament -- which ended the Bulldogs’ season -- UMD had gone 82 straight games without being held scoreless ... Junior left winger Mike Connolly is the only current Bulldog veteran who is averaging a point a game or better for his career (90 points in 85 outings) although his linemates, Jack Connolly (86 in 87) and Justin Fontaine (115 in 121), are both within striking distance ... This weekend the Bulldogs will be looking to do something that no other UMD club has done in six years -- go unbeaten in the opening six games of the season. The 2004-05 Bulldogs owned a 5-0-1 record at that juncture en route to claiming the No. 1 spot in the uscho.com poll -- the last time they’ve held that top ranking ... UMD has outscored the opposition 21-12 thus far and has held the upper hand in shots on goal in each of its four games. UP NEXT: The Bulldogs will engage in their first WCHA road assignments of 2010-11 and pay a first-ever visit to the new Bemidji Regional Event Center to take on Bemidji State University on Oct. 29-30.
