The Last 3 Years...
The last few years have kept Bulldog fans very VERY happy. Winning records along with WCHA and National Championship banners compliment any hockey team, plus outfit Amsoil perfectly.
As a Bulldog fan we keep hearing the phrase "reloading, not rebuilding" and I decided to get some statistical information to back this phrase up for our University of Minnesota Duluth hockey team. So let's take a look at our past 3 years compared directly against other top WCHA performers...
The University of North Dakota
(Year): (WCHA) (NCAA)
'09-'10: 15-10-3 25-13-5 (WCHA Tourney Champs)
'10-'11: 21-6-1 32-9-3 (WCHA Tourney, Regular Season Champs)
'11-'12: 16-11-1 26-13-3 (WCHA Tourney Champs)
Overall, UND is 52-27-5 in the WCHA posting a 61.9 winning percent against conference opponents as well as 83-35-11 in the NCAA with a 64.3 win percentage.
The University of Denver
'09-'10: 19-5-4 27-10-4 (Regular Season Champs)
'10-'11: 17-8-3 25-12-5
'11-'12: 16-8-4 26-13-3
DU is 52-21-11 with a 61.9 win percentage in the WCHA and in the NCAA they are 77-36-13 recording a 61.1 win percentage.
The University of Minnesota
'09-'10: 12-14-2 18-19-2
'10-'11: 13-10-5 16-14-6
'11-'12: 20-8-0 28-14-1 (Regular Season Champs)
The Gophs are 35-32-7 winning 47.3% of their WCHA games and are 62-47-9 in the NCAA posting a 52.5 win percentage.
The University of Minnesota Duluth
'09-'10: 16-11-1 22-17-1
'10-'11: 15-8-1 26-10-6 (National Champions)
'11-'12: 16-7-5 25-10-6
In the WCHA, the Bulldogs are 47-26-7 in the last 3 years recording a 58.8 win percentage and 73-37-13 in the NCAA, winning 59.3% of those games.
You can see by the statistics that UMD has been in a WCHA top performer for the past few years now. Again I'll mention that the Dogs did win the WCHA Tourney in the '08-'09 season that is not included. So I hope this information can more or less persuade you into believing that UMD is not in rebuilding stages after losing top stars, but more reloading the cannon.
