The Bulldog hockey team is third in the CCHA stand­ings, behind only Michigan State and Miami.

Ferris is 8−2−2−2 in con­fer­ence play this sea­son and 13−3−2 over­all. The Bulldogs are unde­feated in their pre­vi­ous 10 con­tests, includ­ing a pair of shootout vic­to­ries over nation­ally No. 1-ranked Miami.

The 12 teams in the CCHA are ranked by the num­ber of points they have earned this sea­son.  A team earns three points for a win in reg­u­la­tion or over­time and two for a shootout win. A team earns one point for a tie and zero points for a reg­u­la­tion or over­time loss.

On Saturday, Ferris will com­pete in the 21st annual Badger Hockey Showdown in Madison, Wis. Ferris has the oppor­tu­nity to make a state­ment out­side of the CCHA with a show­down against Yale University, ranked ninth in the nation.

The Bulldogs will either play nation­ally No. 7-ranked Wisconsin or Merrimack on Jan. 3, depend­ing on the out­come of the first two games of the tour­na­ment. In their only two appear­ances in the tour­na­ment, the Bulldogs won in back-to-back sea­sons in 2003–2004 and 2004–2005.

    Tough loss to Yale out in Wisconsin. What hap­pened? How’d the Bulldogs fare in the third place game? Any con­cerns as CCHA play resumes?
