Alaska-Anchorage is the Team of the Week, following a stunning sweep at UMass Lowell. We catch up on college hockey results from the past couple weeks over the holidays, and ruminate on the chaotic travel that took place in that time. ... There's a long chat with Western Michigan assistant coach Jason Herter, who won multiple national championships previously on the Minnesota Duluth staff. He's in his second year helping out long-time friend Pat Ferschweiler on the WMU bench. Herter also discusses his playing days at North Dakota, and his one NHL game. That and more.
