Jeff Marek goes inside the University of Michigan locker room at Yost Ice Arena for an in-depth one-on-one with Michael Hage, the Montreal Canadiens’ first-round pick and one of the driving forces behind the Michigan Wolverines men's ice hockey being the top team in the country. Hage breaks down what makes Michigan such a tight, dominant group, why Yost was the clincher in his NCAA decision, and how the Wolverines’ mix of elite freshmen, leadership, and goaltending has created a true national title contender. He also reflects on Canada’s painful World Junior semifinal loss to Czechia, takes us inside the locker room aftermath, and offers detailed insight on linemates like Gavin McKenna and Brady Martin. Plus, Hage discusses the noise from Montreal Canadiens fans, how close he feels to the NHL, what areas of his game he’s still building, and what kind of player the Canadiens are getting when he turns pro.
