> The CCHA, but not the other three Division I leagues, count exhibition

> statistics, which is allowed by the NCAA.
>
> However, when it comes to selecting teams for the NCAA field, those

>
> The Gophers' struggles are of great concern to WCHA Commissioner Bruce
> McLeod, who attended Saturday's game against Colorado College.
>
> McLeod is concerned because WCHA playoff revenue helps run the league, and the
> Gophers are the biggest revenue producer of the nine teams. Last season, for example,
> the Gophers' two first-round playoff games at home against Alaska Anchorage earned
> about three-quarters of the money generated that weekend throughout the league.
>
> So if the Gophers don't finish in the first division, a substantial amount of revenue is lost
> by the league.
>
> McLeod's motto: Go Gopher$.
>
> Gophers freshman wing Aaron Miskovich will join the U.S. junior national team
> early next month for the World Junior Championships. He will miss six Gophers games.
> Gophers freshmen center Erik Westrum and defenseman Dylan Mills also are under
> consideration for the team.
>
> Wisconsin defenseman Craig Anderson, a junior from Brooklyn Park, leads the
> league in scoring at 2-10--12, one more point than he scored in 34 games last season.
> Denver lost two of its few veterans to injury last weekend. Center Anders Bork
> suffered a concussion and defenseman Ryan Hacker sprained a knee. They will be out
> from two to four weeks.
>
> Around the country
>
> Harvard and Brown face off Saturday in the 100th year of their rivalry, the oldest in
> college hockey. Brown won 6-0 on Jan. 19, 1898, in the first meeting. Harvard leads
> the series 87-30-7.
>
> Notre Dame freshman wing Dan Carlson of Edina is 3-4--7 in 12 games, and
> Michigan freshman wing Josh Langfeld of Coon Rapids is 5-7--12 in 13 games.

> New Hampshire junior wing Melisa Heitzman of Bloomington Jefferson surpassed
> 100 career points last week.
>
> Heitzman has scored a point in all seven games for the 7-0 Wildcats, the No. 2-ranked
> team nationally behind Northeastern, and she leads the team in scoring at 7-7--14. She
> is 52-52--104 in her career.

> Wildcats freshman defenseman Winny Brodt of Roseville is 3-7--10, and sophomore
