Gophers End Friday Skid

The Minnesota Gophers broke their Friday night losing streak with a win over St. Cloud State. The win will hopefully break the 'Friday night curse'.

Senior winger Jake Hansen scored the first goal and set up the second as the Gophers beat the Huskies 2-1 at Mariucci Arena before an announced crowd of 10,088.

The victory expanded Minnesota's lead over the Bulldogs, who tied 4-4 with Michigan Tech, in the WCHA race to three points.

The No. 3 rated Gophers came into this home-and-home series with the Huskies 1-5 on Fridays against their past six WCHA opponents.

Assistant Coach John Hill Leaving Gopher Hockey Team

The University of Minnesota's head coach Don Lucia announced today that assistant John Hill will not be returning to the team next season.

Hill has been apart of the staff since 2005 and also coached from 1999-2001 before taking a job in his home town, Anchorage, Alaska.

The report doesn't say if he resigned or if he was fired.

There are rumors that the Gophers are targeting former Gopher coach Mike Gruentzel to replace Hill.
