Long before Lake Superior State's success, Michigan Tech under the late John MacInnes was the little school that could. ---------- Lake State's enrollment is 3,500 in a town of 16,000. We are a long ways from anywhere (which is how most Yoopers like it) The U.P. is a hockey hotbed and Laker hockey has obviously been successful with 5 national championships (2 NAIA 1972 under Ron Mason & 74 with Rick Comely; 3 NCAA). The Lakers were immediate hit with NAIA runner-up finishes from '68 through '70. Aren't several of the top hockey schools smaller (not many are public however) CC, etc. HOCKEY-L is for discussion of college ice hockey; send information to [log in to unmask], The College Hockey Information List.
