Stolhanske talks struggles, triumphs Ryan Hanenburg STAFF WRITER

Erik Stolhanske is best known for his role of Rabbit in the movie “Super Troopers”. He’s a founding member of the comedy troupe Broken Lizard, which has made several “Super Troopers”, such as “Beerfest” and “Club

Dread”. Stolhanske spoke about his life before and during the making of “Super Troopers” on March 5 at SCSU. Something that you might not know about Stolhanske is that he was born lived his life with a prosthetic leg. He had a childhood that

was given the nickname “Peg-Leg Stolhanske,” and kids constantly staring and laughing. His mother told him to just try to be a normal kid, which he attempted to do with his interest in baseball. His prosthetic leg never stopped him from running the bases just like every other kid. His childhood hero, Rod Carew, a former Minnesota Twin, inspired

him with his own backstory of hardship and his success in baseball. The most traumatic event of his childhood took ing a game of kickball. A girl who he had a crush on was watching him play and he tried to kick a home run. When he did so his prosthetic leg detached

another boy stole his leg and used it to chase other The incident caused Erik to withdraw from society up until college. Upon arriving at Colgate University, he tried out for the baseball team but was rejected due to his lack of physical development.

Student Veteran Organization (SVO) Pres. Nicholas Garland spoke to the SG body about the need for a large space for veterans during open gallery. The Veteran Resource Center services veterans and their spouses. SCSU has the second largest veteran population of any university in the state.

For every $100 produced in the region, $4 are related to SCSU according to a recent study commissioned by MnSCU.

Study estimates economic effect of SCSU is $529 million Staff Report

SCSU’s economic impact is $529 million and 6,579 jobs, according to a study commissioned by MnSCU. The study estimates the combined economic impact of the SCSU and St. Cloud Tech on the regional economy to be $640 million and 8,061 jobs. The results of the study suggest that for every $100 produced in the region, $4 are related to SCSU – whether directly or indirectly. “In addition to focusing on the success of our students on a global scale, St. Cloud State plays a vital role in supporting our state

When his alarm goes off, it is still pitch black. It is 2:30 a.m. and time for Bryan Piatt to head to work. SCSU alum Piatt -- a morning reporter for Kare 11 -- shared highlights from his time at SCSU during a small presentation held in Stewart Hall. Piatt is a 2008 graduate, who majored in Mass Communications. Piatt grew up in Denver and was inspired to become a journalist by his uncle who was in television. When it came time to

regional economy.” The study also said that SCSU generates approximately $29 million in tax revenues for state and local government.SCTCC generates about $7 million. The study estimated the value of the increase in productivity that the 3,284 associate, bachelor’s, master’s, post-master’s and doctorate degrees awarded by SCSU and the 644 associate degrees awarded by SCTCC in 2011 will yield. Assuming a 40-year work life, the education received by these graduates will yield additional state

income of $610.8 million combined. The study also looked at the seven state universities and 24 community and technical colleges in the MnSCU system. It said the system generates $83 billion toward the economy and generates an estimated 80,856 jobs. MnSCU has recently sought extra dollars from the legislature. SCSU has about 16,400 students and the technical college has about 6,000. The Wilder study shows the seven state universities and 24 community and technical colleges that are part of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System generate an an-

nual economic impact of $8.3 billion (a direct impact of $5 billion and indirect impact in other industries of $3.3 billion). The study also shows that these jobs represent a return of $13.53 for each $1 of state appropriation. The colleges within MnSCU generate an estimated 80,856 jobs in the state. The jobs also generate approximately $490 million in tax revenues for Minnesota state and local governments. In addition, the enhanced productivity of MnSCU graduates across the state is equivalent to

pick a college, Piatt chose SCSU because of all of the hands-on activities. During his time at SCSU, Piatt worked as the color commentator and ice-side reporter for SCSU men’s hockey broadcast across the state. Piatt was also involved in Husky Mag, which was in the process of relaunching. He enjoyed his time at SCSU and felt that the experience helped him grow as a reporter. “Being in front of the camera really helped me get some of the early nervousness out of the way,” Piatt said. Before moving to the Twin Cities, Piatt was the morning anchor at ABC 6

News in Austin, Minn. During his time in Austin, he conducted an in-depth interview with Judy Shepard. Shepard’s son was killed for being gay. Piatt described the experience as rewarding and said that Shepard is an incredible woman with an important message. Piatt’s interview with Shepard earned him a nomination for a Midwest Regional Emmy. After two years in Austin, Piatt applied to work at Kare 11. Piatt received the job as a morning reporter at the station after a month-long interview process. During his presentation, Piatt highlighted his sched-

ule in a “day of the life” video, shot on his camera phone. Piatt goes to bed at 7 p.m. and wakes up at 2:30 a.m. each day. Piatt gets to work at 4 a.m. and is on air from 4:307 a.m. covering live shots. Sometimes, Piatt helps with the Kare 11 at 11 show. Then he goes home at noon. Piatt also discussed some of his favorite stories that he had covered. Piatt covered Red Bull Crashed Ice, and skated down it. He managed to skate down safely, without any broken bones. Another highlight was when he covered the search for a child who had gone

missing. Piatt captured the moment when the boy was found, and described the experience as incredibly rewarding. During time set aside for questions, Piatt said that getting up early is challenging. “I don’t think you ever get used to it,” Piatt said. “I’m tired, I am always very tired.” Piatt also said that he is continuously learning new things a as reporter. Politics are one area that he is uncomfortable with, but he works through it. “Everybody is learning, no matter what level of the game they are at,” Piatt said in closing.

The VRC is designed to be a safe haven for veterans, Garland said. The center currently includes a lounge with computers and a snack bar. There business is conducted. The center is about 1,000 square feet, and Garland says that they are quickly outgrowing their space. During busy times of day, veterans often leave because of lack of space. A larger center would allow the center to accommodate a greater number of students. The center tracks its visits, and receives about 1,000 unique visits a month, Garland said. The VRC is also in the process of hiring a director, which has been a long process position. They hope to hire a director by April. The $60,000 a year position comes with a the center.

The center also has applied for a grant to provide funds to hire a counselor to serve at the center. Due to lack of space, the counselor would have to be located in a different building and would have to walk over to the center each day. During discussion, the body was in agreement over the need for a new location for the VRC. “I think we need to take into consideration that they have been working very, very own and they have been turned down numerous times,” said Chairperson Lindsey Gunnerson. “The veterans don’t have a spot for their counselor right … or the director,” said Chairperson Courtney Downing. “Imagine needing to talk to someone and not having the space afforded to you when you have something like posttraumatic stress disorder… Imagine having that discussion in front of all of your friends.” Downing stressed the need for privacy, and recommended further discussion on the issue. The resolution was passed without objection.

On MnSCU tuition hike: is it fair?

Andrew DeMars ASST. NEWS EDITOR

Relative to a few articles recently written in the past few weeks in the University Chronicle about MnSCU’s plans to raise tuition for students enrolled in their schools, I would like to throw my two cents in the pot. According to an email sent to me from Doug Anderson, Communications and Media Director for MnSCU, the plan for the tuition hike is to increase tuition for full-time college students by $145 a year and full-time university students by $205 a year in order to afford better state-of-the-art technology and equipment, and provide more internship opportunities for students. There are some other aids expected to come from the proposal, but these factors seem to be the highlight of

students to help cover costs for seeking an education after high school, but eventually these students, myself included, will need to pay that costs back after their college career. Essentially, if MnSCU raises tuition costs, it creates a higher debt for students coming out of college. More often than not, and tend to be relatively low. Not to mention if a college grad is having a reer once completing their college education. Is it fair to students for MnSCU administrators to raise the price of tuition? Let’s put some things into perspective. According to an article in the St. Cloud Times, annual tuition and fees for an SCSU student was $3,814. By 2012, the cost has gone up to $7,179, which is faster than rising In the same article, it said SCSU President Earl H. Potter III got a $288,550 salary plus a $14,250 bonus in 2012. Again in the same article from The St. Cloud Times, according to Winona Rep. Gene Pelowski in a meeting with Gov. Mark Dayton, said many MnSCU administrators make larger salaries than he, the governor, makes.

Even though the tuition hike will affect all students enrolled in MnSCU schools, it does not mean everyone will get a taste of the proposal’s affects. All students will have to pay more to attend a school in the MnSCU system, but not everyone will use the updated technology, participate in an internship, and other purposes of the proposal. Knowing many MnSCu administrators have a relatively high income, and the average college student not being nearly as wealthy, does this budget proposal to raise tuition for students still seem fair? I simply think it is not. We as college students will already experience the crisis of having to repay student loans. By constantly raising the price in order to achieve a higher education, it seems like the large debt we’ll have to repay won’t even be worth what we’re going to school job out of college is difDon’t get me wrong, for which the proposal intends. I just believe it is time for MnSCU admin-

John Russett MANAGING EDITOR

When is it acceptable to cast aside your convictions for sake of convenience? the silence of looking the other way when a situation arises where a genuine can potentially damage a life-long relationship? The impersonal relationships society perpetuates makes the demonization of individuals and groups far too easy. Truthful information is far too hard to come by. When all you know about someone is that they stand on the other side of the line on a particular issue, or set of issues, the disdain for that individual remorse. Densely ignorant, they spew forth ideologies which you thought were eradicated with the plague. Maybe this is the redemption tour. These people are easy to cast aside. You don’t know them. They give you no reason to question your own beliefs -- they don’t know what you know.

thinking, but do to time and space limitations I’ll save that for another day. Maybe when the world has nothing better to do than get lost in the innerworkings of my mind. On second thought, that probably is not a good idea.) But what happens when the person who is projectile vomiting this ignorance in your face is someone who was instrumental in developing the foundation on which you now rest your own beliefs? It becomes much more a detriment to the world which you are trying to create. How can someone who has helped provide a lifetime of tolerance and comfort suddenly be so far from what you envisioned those things to be? All of this brought me recently to ask two questions: 1) How well do we really know the people who are in our life? 2) Do we really want to know these people as well as we think we do? I suppose the individuality of each situation provides a new opportunity to ask these questions. Maybe sometimes the aura of a person can be

ably talented at rationalizing situations, beliefs, actions, and anything else you can think of to make life easy. It becomes easy to look the other way when someone close to you possesses characteristics which are own. Interactions become delicate dances of avoidance, deliberate in its steps, carefully planned. I wish I had an answer, or at least I wish I thought I had an answer for all of this. I don’t. I don’t know what to think. All I have are questions. Where is the line between complacency and simply allowing someone else to live their life? Is it acceptable to let someone continue on their path simply because “they’re not going to change at this point?” If it was someone with whom you were not so intimately involved would you let it go for that reason alone? The wrath of a family, or the peace of mind knowing you stood up for something in which you believe? Having convictions is easy when it’s not personal. Maybe it should be even when it is. Maybe for some, it is. Who knows? Seriously, anyone?

Overcoming the email-catastrophe Jason Tham OPINIONS EDITOR

Welcome back from spring break, folks. the semester in seven or so weeks, most of you will be dealing with a similar situation like I do every time when it comes closer to the end of the semester: Email-catastrophe (noun: a horrible calamity manifested in the form of an email that will put your life into misery). This time of the year is when you will receive dozens of emails from your professors, TAs, academic departments, deans, student services, clubs, bookstores, residence hall directors, etc., all who try to inform you about some important events that are coming up that you should pay attention to. Even your landlords may be sending an email to your way soon to remind you that you should renew your lease for next year. Other parties that will do the same include insurance companies, your employers, volunteer connections, churches... and out product launches which you’ve mistakenly signed up to receive

updates from. A May 2011 Pew survey shows that 94% of 18-29 yearold online users have used email and 64% in this age group use email on a daily basis. The survey also reveals that people who have graduated from college are the most active email users today. As stated on “HuskyNet E-mail at SCSU”, email serves

all students, faculty, and staff at SCSU, and that you should check your email frequently in order to not miss out any important announcements. Problems occur when everyone starts taking this channel of communication for granted. Checking my email is one of my morning habits -- in fact, check my inboxes and Facebook - and I often wonder if most people assume that they are the only ones sending emails in the morning. Long emails with no bullet points nor numbering, the oh-look-it’s-an-important-thing updates, and spam -- it usually takes me 15 to 20 minutes to go over all the emails in my Outlook, Yahoo!, G-Mail, SCSU student and clubs inboxes. What makes life even more miserable is when the email sender practices poor email etiquette: no subject line, text-message language, or long body full of links. Worse still, the athletic department (truth be told, no offense!) will sometimes send you large PDF attachments that eat up half your remaining storage

why you’re constantly getting that warning notice about your inbox meeting its capacity, a regular student’s email quota is only 200MB. Any student may request for an upgrade that may bum your storage space up to 500MB. To a graphic designer or marketing student, that space is equivalent to, say, 10 artworks. With servers like Outlook and G-Mail offering free storage spaces that are still expanding, I wonder why the school couldn’t host us on these public servers to give us more room. Enough of ranting. I’d suggest the following to those of us who have a messy email inbox:

Create folders This is a good practice recommended by management trainers.

New media guest artists Justin Merrit and Matthew McCright visited SCSU on March 6, performing a concert in the Ruth Gant Recital Hall. Though the concert was very brief, it was a great display of musical talent and knowledge. The concert consisted of three songs. Pianist Matthew McCright, who earned his Doctorate of Musical Arts Degree in Piano Performance from the University of Minnesota, performed all songs.

of the piano’s damper pedals was phenomenal, leaving a haunting echo with each note he played. It was impressive to watch McCright play, to say the least. He turned the music note pages by himself, crisscrossing his hands one over another while he played, never missing a

note all the while. After the Prelude, Composer Justin Merritt stood up from the front row and made his introductions. Merritt believes composers can include samples from past works and styles while integrating a new, unique polish. “A piece doesn’t have to be incomprehensible to be new,” Merritt said, “I think you can be original while communicating in a musical language that the audience understands.” Merritt went on to introduce the next song in the program, titled “Darknesse Visible”. This melody was all over the keyboard. McCright would quickly jump his hands from the higher notes to the low ones ambidextrously with precision and timing beyond belief. Some stretches of “Darknesse Visible” would consist of McCright conducting a very fast double tap titled “Cube Dance”, was known to be a “chaos rando,” where the player tries to hit every possible transition. “I wrote this piece for Matt, with Matt,” Merritt told the audience.

“Cube Dance” was easily the highlight of the show. The song is supposed to be upbeat, fast, and truly chaotic. McCright’s hands seemed fast in previous songs, but within “Cube Dance” they looked like they were on a completely different level. His hands would jump up and down; pounding the keyboard with such ferocity; I could feel the passion McCright had for the song while playing it. There was a moment where the song abruptly stops and McCright slowly turns the page of his music book. Once the page settled, he immediately bursts into loud, irregular notes located all over the keyboard. McCright made his bows as the audience applauded after every song. “Cube Dance” seemed to easily be the audience favorite, as it received the most applause. Although the program could have run longer, the concert was still very enjoyable and an excellent take of a one-man show with nothing but a piano to work with. In addition to McCright’s writing with the song “Cube Dance”, the duo of guest artists was well worth the time to view and listen to.

Tame Impala sells out First Avenue show Christopher Timp STAFF REPORTER

MINNEAPOLIS - Despite the snowstorm on March 4 that had been raging for most of the day and was expected to continue into the next morning, First Avenue’s Mainroom was packed for a sold out show, featuring Tame Impala, and opener, The Growl. This was not lost on the Australian bands as they had both expressed the fact that for some of them, snow was a new experience. Winter was soon forgotten when opener, The Growl, took stage featuring two drummers, a stand-up bass, keyboards, guitar, and front-man Cameron Avery of the band Pond on vocals. Sporting blues-rock sound with the incredibly soulful singing of Avery, the band was extremely tight on their presentation. Having two drummers playing at the same time does not always translate well, but the two drummers complemented each others’ style well. With one drummer never overpowering the other, their drumming would sometimes converge into what sounded like one powerful drummer striking with a force that could be felt in the chest. At one point in the show, the band cleared all off the stage except Avery, who did a small Christmas song. As he played his guitar halfheartedly, fans were heard wondering out loud as to whether this was a joke or a genuine attempt at a song. The rest of the band came

back on after the short interlude, and recovered the audience’s attention by closing their set with a few more songs that seemed to explore a louder, more rock-oriented realm. After a short break, the crowd exploded in cheer for Tame Impala, who entered the stage in front of a projector screen which shown psychedelic visuals that would react to the sounds of the instruments. Kevin Parker, known as the mastermind behind the band’s music, led the band with his Rickenbacker guitar which was plugged into an extensive network of effects pedals. Throughout the show, Parker could be seen moving from pedal to pedal in his bare feet,

arsenal. Touring off of the huge success of their 2012 album, “Lonerism,” Tame Impala played a healthy dose of their 2010 debut album “Innerspeaker” as well. The band bounced back and forth between the two albums in an interesting way, grouping songs from both albums together in a way that made sense but tended to blur the differences between the songs. Casual fans could be heard asking at times if the band had already played a song that was being played, while those expecting a rich selection of the band’s material had plenty to go home happy about. Those that know the band’s albums understand how production heavy Tame Impala’s music is.

The recordings are heavily mixed with effects, giving their albums the vibrant psychedelic sound that they are known for. Tame Impala matched the sound of their albums note for note, but would take lengthy detours during their songs, as though trying to keep the audience off guard as to when the songs would end. One such instance came during the performance of “Elephant” from their 2012 album, in which they transitioned from the trudging rock-heavy riffs of the song into a macabre; almost Pink Floyd Parker played with ambient effects. All the while, the band added times seeming disjointed and lost. They came out of the detour to end the song by playing the last half-bar of the song. The best of Tame Impala’s of their set with the song, “Glass

Half Full of Wine.” The song, built around a deep and almost blues-rock sound, dropped into a hypnotizing interlude with Parker making his guitar beep like the radar on a submarine. The beeping, steadily increasing, built up the tension as the keyboardist Dominic Simper produced a guitar. Just when the beeping was getting frantic, Parker came exploding in with the main riff, setting the rest of the band off into a wall of sound that sent nearly all hands present towards the ceiling. The wall of sound created by the three guitars continued to expand in volume and complexity until with surprising precision, the band stopped all noise within an instant to end the show. After the band had said goodbye, Parker lingered. Seemingly touched by the crowd’s reaction, he put his hands above his head as he bowed as if to worship the fans, and disappeared into the bowels of the backstage area.

Broadway Calls keeps pop-punk alive J.P. Winters ALBUM REVIEW

Pop-punk’s dwindling popularity since the early millennium may not faze the majority of the American population, but I see it as a travesty. The pop-punk genre became my favorite genre around the time I turned the fragile age of fourteen, and to see its demise from mainstream popularity brings a remorseful tear to my eye. Luckily though, I’ve found proof that pop-punk is alive and well, except now you Enter Broadway Calls, an Oregon 2005. These guys have a strong resemblance to Green Day’s “Dookie” mixed with hints of Alkaline Trio and The Bouncing Souls. Although Broadway Calls have been together for close to a decade, they still posses energy and tight collaboration that gives their musical niche in 1995. The group recently released “Comfort/

Although I’m typically in favor of quick tempos, I found this track to be another one of my favorites thanks to the well-written poetic metaphor of a plane crash.

‘Neverwinter’ could break MMO mold Ryan Hanenburg BETA REVIEW

“Neverwinter” is an upcoming MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) from Cryptic Studios, makers of Champions Online and other online games. It is set in the Dungeons and Dragons campaign setting of Forgotten Realms. The game style is based on the 4th Edition of D&D, with several classes available including the Trickster Rogue, Guardian Fighter, Control Wizard and Devoted Cleric. The game controls more like an action game than a traditional MMO (i.e., World of Warcraft). This makes the gameplay feel like a breath of fresh air after the legions of clones which have choked up the marketplace. The Forgotten Realms setting also ensures that the game has a wealth of background information to draw upon and well-established characters and quests to populate the world with.

‘Burt Wonderstone’ is less than magical Jeremiah Graves FILM REVIEW

“The Incredible Burt Wonderstone” was released worldwide on Friday, featuring some of today’s most recognized actors. The movie begins by showing Burt Wonderstone’s (Steve Carell) bullied and isolated childhood, being picked on by everyone and living with a mom who isn’t there most of the time. partner Anton (Steve Buscemi) while performing a trick in the cafeteria, sitting by his lonesome. They strike up a great friendship, beginning a lifelong journey to reach the top of the magic world. As the years pass and they continue to work on their magic act together, they eventually land a great gig at the “Bally Hotel” in Las Vegas. The act is supposed to be a tribute to their 30-year friendship, but after 10 years of the same tricks and people thin audiences and in a thinner friendship. Jim Carrey acts as the new-age magician Steve Grey, who performs bizarre and questionable tricks, much to the style of Criss Angel’s performances in real life. His erratic personality plays well with the role in the movie, but we’ll say this role

wont get him any Oscars. Too many of the veteran magicians so called “tricks” aren’t magic at all and are just plain stupid, which make them work even harder to overcome his large fan base. In an attempt to spice up their act, Burt and Anton perform a ridiculous stunt of staying in an elevated glass box for a week. After 15 minutes, Burt goes nuts and the box begins to break. In an attempt to save himself, Burt nearly kills Anton, who winds up with two broken ankles. They part ways shortly after and egotistical Burt tries to save his career on his own. In Burt’s search for a place to live after being removed from The Bally, he comes across his childhood idol, magician Rance Holloway (Alan Arkin) at an assisted living center. Rance shows Burt what has been passion for magic once again. Burt and Anton reunite as the movie goes on, and feel they have one last chance to bring the magic back to the stage. They attempt to perform the greatest trick ever attempted in hopes of securing the main act in the newest and hippest hotel in Vegas. I’m not going to ruin the movie for you and tell you how it ends, but the best part was in fact that the movie ended.

“The Incredible Burt Wonderstone” is a movie with little going for it. The story line was average, and the execution was sub par. They tried to play the “reconnect with yourself ” theme as the movie progresses, but failed to accomplish any heart-warming scenes which make you root for the main character. the audience waiting for that special scene that changed their views, but it never came. The magic was obviously meant to be a aspect of the movie, but it seemed to overwhelm the theme at points. The movie tended to lose track of what the main purpose was and left the story line in the shadow of less important factors in the movie. Of course, with the awkward and erratic humor that come hand in hand with Steve Carell and Jim Carrey, this movie has some very funny moments! Unfortunately there wasn’t enough one-liners or kneeslappers for this to be considered hilarious, and with such a poor story line, it’s hard not to walk out of the theater disappointed. It was hard to see two great actors placed in a movie that was as dry and humorless as this, something thought almost impossible with their personalities. I don’t believe this is the end for either actor, but

Friday

The eighth ranked SCSU Huskies (22-141) opened up the WCHA playoffs with a 6-1 win at home against the Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves (4-24-7). The win moved the Huskies one step closer to the Final Five in St. Paul. Led by the freshman on Friday night, the Huskies played a well-rounded game, showing why they are the number one seed in the playoffs. SCSU opened up the game with a huge Kalle Kossila’s shot went wide left of the net. amazing play from freshman David Morley breaking through a sea of Alaska players, and making the pass to sophomore Garrett Milan, giving the Huskies a 1-0 lead 3:15 into the period. On the very next play, Alaska answered right back when the Seawolves’ Scott Warner hit a slap shot that slipped right through sophogame at 1-1 less than a minute later. The Huskies nearly made it 2-1, but the Seawolves’ goalie Rob Gunderson would make a diving save to stop the puck from going into the goal at the last second. Again, the Huskies were given another opportunity on a silver platter when Alaska’s Ben Matthews was given a 5-minute major penalty and a game misconduct. The Huskies did not do a good job keeping control of the puck, but capitalized on the opportunity with 4:52 left in the period and 11 seconds left in the power play to bring the score to 2-1. Morley scored on the play and senior Ben Hanowski got the assist. Morley drilled in an easy rebound left behind by Matthews. This proved to be the game-winning goal for the Huskies and SCSU cruised from here. The Huskies continued to pour the goals on, as senior Drew LeBlanc gave a beautiful pass out in front of Matthews to freshman Jonny Brodzinski. Brodzinski put the puck in the net while falling to the ice and then knocking the net off the post. The goal gave the Huskies a 3-1 lead with 15:54 left in the period. The Seawolves had a golden opportunity to score a shorthanded goal, but Faragher came “I thought Faragher played great tonight,” said head coach Bob Motzko. Alaska also found themselves with backto-back penalties, leaving the Huskies on the power play for 4 minutes straight. The Huskies didn’t let the opportunity pass them by. Freshman Joey Benik scored SCSU’s fourth goal of the evening, 7:40 into the period. Benik snuck it just inside the goalpost on a beautiful pass from Morley. The Huskies killed off another Seawolves powerplay before being awarded another one

of their own. UAA’s Matt Bailey was put in the penalty box to give the Huskies the man advantage. The Huskies had plenty of chances to score to before Alaska was back at full strength. The Huskies increased their lead to 5-1 with 39.1 seconds left in the second period after freshman Jimmy Murray hit a hard slap shot the Huskies a four-goal lead entering the third period. “I really liked us as the game wore on,” Motzko said. “We started putting more pressure on the forecheck and more pressure in the offensive zone.” Brodzinski scored the sixth goal of the game for the Huskies with 19:38 left in the period, after a wrist shot sailed right over Gunderson’s right shoulder and underneath the crossbar into the net. It was Brodzinski’s second goal of the evening, his 21st goal of the season. Brodzinski leads all WCHA freshman in scoring.

week. SCSU will learn their opponent after the the two play-in games on Thursday, March 21 at the WCHA Final Five. “It was nice to get two wins early this weekend, we don’t want to play Sunday. It’s huge to day so you don’t have to win three in a row,” mentioned Johnson on how big Saturday’s win was for SCSU. The Huskies are currently tied for ninth place in the PairWise rankings, which tries to predict the NCAA selection process to the national tournament. Only the top 16 teams make the cut. Saturday’s win did not come easily however, as Alaska came out with fresher legs than the ing a penalty for tripping, the Seawolves found themselves with the early man advantage. Alaska is 17 of 144 for 14% on the power play this season and the Huskies easily killed the penalty. -

Brodzinski said after the game. “Playing with Drew [LeBlanc] and Kalle [Kossila], they are just unbelievable playmakers. They both just have great vision and can make the hard passes. They have been doing it all year.” The Huskies did their best to slow the third period down and would quickly kill a 4 on 4 penalty kill to bring the clock to 11:00 with a stoppage. The Huskies continued to kill the clock and with 6:07 left to play Faragher left the game with 15 saves and SCSU put in Joseph Phillippi to close out the evening.

20th win of the season. The Huskies came out in the second period looking to score early, nearly putting the puck in the back of the net on two separate occasions. Alaska called a timeout with 14:37 left in the period to try and gather a game plan with the puck stuck in their own zone. With renewed momentum, the Seawolves stormed Faragher and the net relentlessly trying to get the puck into the net to even up the score, but to no avail. The Huskies continued to throw shot after shot at Alaska’s Kamal, but no matter what angle they took they found themselves short. By the end of the second period the Huskies found themselves at a 33-12 shooting advantage. They also earned a 2:00 powerplay opportunity with 36.9 seconds left in the period after UAA’s Matt Bailey entered the box for tripping. With 8 seconds left in the period, Prochno got a 2 minute penalty for holding, making it 4 on 4 hockey entering the 3rd period. When the puck dropped in the third period, senior captain Ben Hanowski got a shot at Kamal but wasn’t able to convert. The Huskies eventually killed UAA’s short power play.

Saturday

Saturday was a special evening for the #1 seed SCSU Huskies. Not only did they punch their ticket to the WCHA Final Five in St. Paul with a 5-1 win over Alaska-Anchorage, but they got to celebrate winning the MacNaughton 3,663 at the National Hockey and Event Center in St. Cloud. “It was a very special moment for our program. Not only for us, but for our fans. Everyone in the St. Cloud community has been waiting 20-some years for this,” senior Taylor Johnson said of the special moment after the game. “It’s great to bring a great winning culture to St. Cloud.” It is the second straight year SCSU has advanced to the Final Five, but this year the situation has improved drastically for the Huskies. The Huskies are the number one seed this place. Now, after advancing this past weekend, the Huskies have earned a much needed bye

The two goal lead didn’t last long though, only 1:02 later UAA’s Blake Tatchell got the puck underneath a sprawled out Faragher to make it a 2-1 hockey game. SCSU added their third goal of the game during the power play 9:13 into the period when junior Nic Dowd hit a zinging slap shot right past Kamal. He was assisted by Jensen and LeBlanc on the play. The Huskies made it a 4-1 hockey 13:20 into the period when Cory Thorson took a pass from senior captain Ben Hanowski and skated shot past Kamal. The Seawolves pulled their goalie with 2:04 left in the game. Ben Hanowski turned that decision into a goal with 1:13 left in the period to make it a 5-1 SCSU win. “That was a heck of a hockey game and Anchorage was not going to go down without Anchorage Seawolves. “They fought like crazy and played great.” “I have to be the buzz-kill coach right now, because we are a bubble team.
