From todays Blue Line Club luncheon with Wisconsin coach Sauer and Minnesota coach Woog: 1) Brush Christiansen from Alaska-Anchorage retired from coaching last night. I don't have any more info but it sounded like it wasn't voluntary. 2) The WCHA stands to lose $100,000 if Wisconsin doesn't get home ice for the WCHA playoffs. From a Wisconsin State Journal article earlier this week: 1) Northern Michigan coach Rick Comley is stepping down from the NCAA hockey selection committee. The article said that University of Wisconsin AD Pat Richter will take his place.
