The resurgence of the Michigan Tech hockey team provided one of college hockey's most compelling storylines a year ago, and with 85% of its roster back, the Huskies will look to write another chapter for their narrative in their 87th season of competition. Michigan Tech returns 22 players and 79 percent of its scoring from a 2006-07 squad that posted an 18-17-5 overall record and made an appearance in the 2007 Red Baron WCHA Final Five.

Since taking the reigns of the Michigan Tech hockey program before the 2003-04 season, head coach Jamie Russell has guided the storied program back to national prominence. Russell marks his fifth year behind the Huskies' bench in 2007-08 after engineering one of college hockey's biggest revivals in the 2006-07 campaign. Honored as the 2007 Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) co-Coach of the Year, Russell led Michigan Tech to an 18-17-5 overall record, its highest total since 1995-96.
