Field Michael Hage didn’t just score—he put on a show His breakaway finish in Michigan’s outdoor game against Ohio State was a beauty in itself but what followed is what really stole the spotlight the Habs prospect mimicked a baseball player’s slide into second base while a teammate called him “safe.” The lighthearted celebration was an ode to the historic Chicago Cubs ballpark When the Canadiens selected the Oakville native 21st overall last summer signaled their belief that he was a safe bet for their future Just as he delivered in a big moment at Wrigley Field in early January Hage has hit it out of the park in his first year of college hockey The 18-year-old is second in scoring for the Wolverines—whose campaign now hangs in the balance—and ranks tied for fourth among all NCAA Division 1 freshmen with 34 points in 33 games this season including four game-winning goals and a shootout decider “That's always the type of player I’ve wanted to be,” Hage told the Canadiens content team “Someone who the guys can rely upon in the big moments to step up McGuire Award of Excellence* winner is holding his own against the stiffer competition—on and off the ice—as he adjusts to life as a student-athlete “You definitely learn how to manage your time wisely You don't want to be going into weekends stressed out about school so it just kind of teaches you to get ahead of things and get your work done it's just the same game you've been playing but the teenager is making the most of his college experience Hage says he and teammates took in Michigan football games at the "Big House" in the fall he heads to Crisler Center to catch some of the Wolverines basketball team in action “All the teams kind of support each other.” that sense of camaraderie extends well beyond Ann Arbor The Habs hopeful keeps a close eye on the Canadiens any chance he gets following the team’s rebuild as it takes shape “Whenever we have off nights and I get out of class or doing homework we try to watch as much hockey as we can,” shared Hage “It's been fun to watch them having some success and I'm hoping for them to get in the playoffs Montreal’s director of player development Rob Ramage who oversees the team’s Junior and amateur prospects has visited Hage three or four times this season and he’s been pretty happy with how things have been going I don't think they try to be too involved in what they're telling you or telling you not to do as a player,” said the 6-foot-1 centerman He's a great dude and has a lot of really good stories Habs fans are being introduced to more and more of those game-breaking players like Hage who graduated the collegiate circuit last year is the latest high-profile prospect to leave his mark in Montreal following in the footsteps of Cole Caufield—another NCAA alum who made an immediate impact in the NHL when he arrived on the big stage in 2021 who views college hockey as a breeding ground for the sport’s top talent “I feel like when you can dominate a level as good as college hockey is right now it proves that you're going to be alright at the NHL level,” he explained it's a big adjustment; it's still very difficult and those guys dominated at the college level before they left That's as close as you're going to get to pro hockey.” it’s not a question of if but when he makes that jump is on something that the University of Michigan hasn’t accomplished in three decades: winning a national championship That path became more challenging on March 9 when the Wolverines were eliminated from the Big Ten playoffs they’ll have to wait until Selection Sunday on March 23 hoping for an at-large bid to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive Hage is determined to continue developing into the player he wants to be “I think using my skating and my size to not only create offense but to be solid defensively and to be hard to play against on the forecheck are things that I continue to work on,” he said be hard to play against and be someone that play in any situation.” So far Hage is proving to be just what the Canadiens envisioned: a safe bet with high upside But safe doesn’t mean conservative—it means reliable competitive and capable of turning the tide of a game McGuire Award of Excellence is presented annually to the NHL Draft prospect who best exemplifies commitment to excellence through strength of character "Getting To Know..." is a new feature where we shine a spotlight on the people that make the Triangle music and arts scene so special George Hage is a Charlotte-born and Raleigh-based designer and musician whose work you have most likely encountered at a music festival or out and about downtown He's worked with festivals like Dreamville he has designed logos and art for Transfer Co Hage (pronunciation rhymes with "mirage") is also an accomplished comic artist and has built relationships in that world at conventions like HeroesCon in Charlotte and NC Comics Con in Durham You may have even seen him in a X-Men comic in 2012 When he's not drawing, Hage is the principal songwriter, singer, and guitarist in the band Jack The Radio Jack The Radio had a bit of a minimal setup "We were just a two-piece and a computer," Hage recalls In 2009 Jack The Radio expanded to a full band and released their first record "Pretty Money" two years later Their latest album "Under Lonely Light" was released in 2024 You also might have heard their music on shows like Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations I met up with Hage to talk about his work and about what makes the Triangle such a special place for musicians and artists but in high school and college I started taking it a bit more seriously so I started tying my art and visuals to my music When Jack The Radio formed we really didn't have money for art so the band was kind enough to let me come up with some stuff I did a lot of the early posters for the band which led me to doing stuff for other bands around town." What are some of your favorite projects you've worked on which formed in the early days of Hopscotch and a bunch of other artists created a companion to the Hopscotch Music Festival that was screen printed That was really when I started doing screen printing locally with AdAm Peele That was also where I got to meet a lot of the local Triangle artists and found that community of people." Is there a design you're the most proud of but the most commented on is the Dreamville letters we made these custom letters spelling out 'DREAMVILLE.' It was 40-plus feet wide and 6 feet tall It was the first big 3D installation I had done and after the festival we made a few more letters because we realized we could spell out 'RALEIGH,' and those letters are what you see up now at Transfer Co That design has led to lots of other work for me including the ice skating rink they have at Red Hat Amphitheater in the winter." an arts organization here in Raleigh that also puts on a festival and also helps out with other events and street festivals around town." I saw on your website that outside of Raleigh you've also made an appearance in the Marvel universe (Gambit #2) I was into comics as a kid and got back into them as an adult I started going to comic cons like HeroesCon in Charlotte and NC Comic Con in Durham as an artist to meet people and sell records and comics that I had worked on At those I was able to connect with all these artists in the comic industry and Clay Mann was cool enough to include me in Gambit #2 in 2012 My mom didn't believe me when it first happened." Let's talk about the early days of Jack The Radio Hopscotch had its first year in 2010 so we were seeing lots of big bands coming through Raleigh There were lots of other great festivals but Hopscotch really took things to another level and provided local bands with bigger opportunities Red Hat Amphitheater opened around that time too so it was a really exciting time to be in downtown Raleigh." Who were some of your favorite artists around that time American Aquarium was really starting to lift off at that time I was also really into the scene in Carrboro at the time with Ryan Gustafson and Josh Moore Jack The Radio has had their music placed in a lot of TV shows a company that was based out of the Triangle and a year later we had three songs on an episode of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations We were all huge fans of Bourdain so we lost our minds It was a complete surprise and the coolest thing We've also been lucky enough to have our music on shows like Modern Family I wasn't too far from the speedway so that was really cool to me Let's talk a little bit more generally about life in the Triangle How would you describe the music scene here to somebody who isn't familiar and I don't know if it's because of all the universities that bring people and jobs to the area North Carolina as a whole is very eclectic is from here and so are all these legendary jazz and bluegrass legends You really see that in the Triangle because we have crazy good bluegrass That exists in other parts of the state but it feels more concentrated here The amount of talent continues to blow my mind." Who are some of the local artists you're most excited about right now "I feel like the crew at Sleepy Cat Records is doing some really cool stuff I also feel like the All Y'all Records crew has some really cool stuff happening in the Americana space I love the records that Fancy Gap and Skylar Gudasz have put out recently Are there any trends you're seeing locally that you're excited about "I love seeing so much collaboration and people not being afraid to cross genres I think it's cool to see so many artists feature on each other's songs It's a nice way to feel the energy of other artists." so we're in the market for a new favorite restaurant and trying something different every time." but we do really love playing The Pour House We co-host a day party there during Hopscotch every year and it's always one of my favorite days of the year." Munjo Munjo is one of my favorite art shops They always have something new and funky and off the beaten path It's probably our favorite place to grab a drink in town." "Right now I'm working on a couple new art projects I also just finished up some T-shirt designs for a denim clothing brand called Devil Dog Dungarees I'm also working on some new stuff for Red Hat Amphitheater we've got some new music coming out soon that we'll release as an EP and we're also talking about a Tom Petty covers EP that we're all pretty excited about."

Hughes and Josh Eernisse assisted on Werner's ninth Wolverine goal that made it 4-3 and the Badgers struck back by knocking a rebound into the back of the net to tie it at 4-4 with 3:43 left in regulation Michigan challenged the play after a Wolverine had been propelled into the boards but neither could pot a goal while playing 3-on-3 to clinch the extra point Michigan returns home to Yost Ice Arena for a two-game set against Penn State 1) weekend finale is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m and will be broadcast live on Big Ten Network 6at5Penn State Michael Hage (Michigan Photography)Pair of Hage Goals Propel Michigan Past Penn State11/22/2024 11:12:00 PM | Ice Hockey -- The fifth-ranked University of Michigan ice hockey team stormed out to a 4-1 lead on the road on Friday night (Nov 22) at Penn State before things tightened up as the Wolverines knocked off the Nittany Lions in a 6-5 decision inside Pegula Ice Arena to secure U-M's fifth straight win Fresh off of a bye week, Michigan started fast and kept the puck in Penn State's end for the first minute of the contest. With play still hemmed in down below the goal line, Josh Eernisse was whistled at 1:09 for boarding to give the home team an early power play Penn State opened the scoring and made it 1-0 just 21 seconds later with a power-play goal in transition following an impressive individual effort The Wolverines struck shortly thereafter when T.J. Hughes scored his first goal of the year at 2:33 by deflecting a point shot off the stick of freshman blueliner Will Felicio to tie the game Building upon the success he had last year against PSU, William Whitelaw finished off a feed from Philippe Lapointe at 10:29 to make it a 3-1 game Jacob Truscott joined the scoring with 5:39 left in the first period burying his second power-play goal of the campaign Michigan appeared to score a fifth goal with 4:19 on the board after a previous shot on goal was deflected high up into the air above the Penn State crease and then batted down to the ice the officials emphatically waved it off for a hand pass the Wolverines carried a commanding 4-1 lead into the locker room but made them count by shooting 44 percent Penn State did have a clear advantage in the faceoff dot Logan Stein, who finished with 24 saves, made several key stops in the first half of the second period to preserve Michigan's three-goal lead. The score remained stagnant until Thomas Daskas was booked for interference at 7:42 to put the Nittany Lions back on the power play for the second time Penn State capitalized on the power play for the second time in as many attempts with a wrist shot goal from the high slot to trim Michigan's lead to 4-2 While PSU attempted to grapple with the speed of Jackson Hallum as the junior carved up the ice in transition they were forced to take a penalty to put U-M on the power play with 6:21 left in the second frame Schifsky made the advantage count just 22 seconds later when he finished off a rebound from a point shot by crashing the blue paint with his stick on the ice Truscott picked up the primary assist for putting the initial shot on goal while Whitelaw earned the secondary helper on Schifsky's sixth goal of the season PSU trimmed the deficit once again and made it a 5-3 contest at the 18-minute mark with a shot off a rush that found the top corner Michigan maintained its 5-3 lead over Penn State PSU scored on a rebound to make it a one-goal game at 5-4 The Nittany Lions continued to ride a wave of momentum until they tied the game at 4:27 Eernisse was called for his second penalty of the night with 23 seconds remaining With the net empty and the Nittany Lions touting a 6-on-4 advantage the Wolverines were able to bury the puck against the boards in the corner until the final buzzer rang to provide relief Michigan held on for the 6-5 win and earned three points in the conference standings to continue their win streak despite trailing PSU in both shots on goal (29-25) and faceoffs (43-26) the teams face off once more at Pegula Ice Arena and the game will be streamed live on B1G+ — After one of the happiest moments of her life which followed the most tragic moment of her life Rania Saba was looking through some old photos Her eldest son, Michael Hage, had just been drafted by the Montreal Canadiens the team her late husband and high school sweetheart Alain is wearing the Canadiens jersey of his favourite player “It blew my mind when I came across this picture,” Saba said “It was always just a picture until I saw that picture after the draft and Michael was drafted in 2024 Saba and Alain met at her birthday party when they were only 13 They got married and started a life together Alain’s family immigrated to Montreal in the 1960s from Egypt Saba’s family immigrated to Montreal from Egypt when she was 5 She grew up in Pierrefonds — she used to take the bus to school with Guy Carbonneau’s daughter — and Alain grew up in Ville St They went downtown when the Canadiens last won the Stanley Cup in 1993 and experienced the madness together when the team the entire family loved drafted Michael in Las Vegas Alain’s tragic death in the summer of 2023 has come to define Michael Hage’s journey and while his father’s death is an important part of that journey Hage’s life should not be defined by tragedy It should be defined by triumph — of fighting through loss and coming out the other side stronger and better prepared to tackle life and his goals “I think one of the things I find absolutely beautiful is his view on life,” Saba said to being happy every day and moving forward and still finding thankfulness for everything that he had (but) so many kids didn’t even get that kind of quality time with their dad You have been more fortunate than most to have such a present dad that some kids might have their dad for 50 years and not have had that this is a story about triumph and about Michael the hockey player So much so that his mother had to hold his hand on the soccer field He was always better than most at every level and he just loved it “I don’t know that he would be the same child without hockey.” Hage can’t remember the old version of himself he had the perfect person in his life to harness it “It’s definitely something I felt pretty good at right away — sometimes people are just better at certain things than others “It’s something I had kind of a knack for and really enjoyed But I think my dad pushing me was just the extra step that helped me to start getting better and better but if you don’t pursue it and continue to push — when you’re young no 7-year-old is going to push themselves to do any extra work skate and work out in the summer at Shield Athletics in Burlington where two other hockey brothers — Arber and Florian Xhekaj — also train Arber Xhekaj remembers when Hage first joined his pro group on the ice a couple of years ago “I just think he didn’t care,” Xhekaj said he would show up for a three-on-three and just dangle everyone he’s looking you off on a two-on-one and shooting By the time Hage was 10, he was exposed to the rest of the hockey world for the first time at the Brick Tournament in Edmonton. Thirty-five NHL draft picks – with more to come in 2025 – played in that tournament, including 2024 No. 1 pick Macklin Celebrini “I did well in that tournament,” Hage said. “We lost in the semifinals to Minnesota Hage left out the part where he led the tournament in scoring with 11 points in six games. For comparison, one year prior, Connor Bedard had nine points in that tournament Hage said the Brick is one of the hockey memories that shaped who he is as a player today That’s where Hage’s clutch gene first emerged The tournament didn’t start well for Hage’s team to the point his father and some of the other dads started looking into early return flights But his team made the final against Team U.S West and was down a goal when Team Ontario pulled the goalie with a little over a minute left tied it and then got a breakaway pass and scored really late We won in regulation with six seconds left,” Hage said I remember my dad was usually super stiff and calm at the rink But me and my mom would look back at the video and he was jumping up and down.” Alain Hage told his son he played a good game That’s usually how it was — he wasn’t going to tell me everything that was going well the compliments did not come easily,” Saba confirmed When Hage visited the University of Michigan campus with his father The plan to go through the OHL shifted to the USHL with the Chicago Steel His younger brother will follow that same path; Alexander committed to the Wolverines last summer and currently plays for the Steel “I remember when I was deciding where to go to school he really loved it here (at Michigan),” Hage said of his father “It would have been cool to have him watch me play here you’ve just got to move on and continue to play like he’s watching He had four goals and three assists in his first five collegiate games and is already a vital component of Michigan’s success In the four games Hage went pointless and two he missed with an injury he’s been nursing most of the season The Wolverines are 10-1-1 when Hage finds the scoresheet but he wants the puck on his stick,” Wolverines coach Brandon Naurato said He’s not dominating yet and that’s the next step and what a luxury to have that opportunity and that trust Michigan is accustomed to having high-end talent the Wolverines had four players taken in the first and second rounds of the NHL draft There’s a lot of pressure on him to perform He’s an elite distributor through the middle of the ice and he’s been through a lot as a young man.” Hage came into this season wanting to make an impact despite the new challenging environment “I’ve gotten comfortable very quickly to a different game because it is a lot more difficult than last year,” Hage said “I don’t ever plan to come into one season the same player I was last year so I feel like I got a lot better over the course of the summer In his final game before the holiday break on Dec Michigan was coming off three straight shutout losses The game one night earlier against Wisconsin had been easily the most frustrating Hage had experienced at this level With a loose puck near the side boards in the Michigan zone Hage tried to lift a Wisconsin player’s stick and head up ice with the puck instead of engaging in a puck battle so I just have to go out and try to make a play.” Overtime game winner from Michael Hage! pic.twitter.com/bCsT8hYOhr — Michigan Hockey (@umichhockey) December 15, 2024 But what was most interesting was Hage’s assessment on the tying goal The real mistake happened long before: He shouldn’t have been on the ice at all “I probably should have changed before that “That’s when you make dumb mistakes like that There’s the hockey IQ Naurato was talking about Naurato enjoys the cerebral nature of how Hage views the game his true observations and not just saying what he thinks Naurato wants to hear “He’s a fun one to work with because he’s a hockey nerd “It’s underappreciated and very rewarding for a coach to work with a young man that when you tell him something If there’s still any doubt about just how much this family loves the Canadiens Saba and her parents visited the Canadiens boutique at the team’s practice facility in Brossard She picked up a couple of hooded sweatshirts key chains and other merchandise for her sons “It was really funny because the guy working in the store recognized us,” Saba recalled The thought of attending Hage’s first game at the Bell Centre one day immediately puts a smile on Saba’s face She estimates they would need roughly 60 tickets “We would need a whole section to make it work.” Hage doesn’t know how much time his mother has left for planning “It’s one year at a time until I think I’m ready I just feel like there’s not really a rush,” Hage said when asked when he believes he will turn pro “You see so many guys rush out of juniors and college and then come to realize how hard the NHL is and as soon as I feel ready physically and mentally to go make an impact and the team thinks I can make an impact Hage’s friends and family at the Bell Centre will witness the ultimate triumph out of tragedy together I’m sure he’s having a hockey party in heaven with his dad (Top photos of Michael Hage as a child and at the University of Michigan: Courtesy of Rania Saba; Zac BonDurant / Getty Images) Arpon Basu has been the editor-in-chief of The Athletic Montréal since 2017.

29th North Carolina Four-Ball Championship title carding a 63-60-66 for a three-day total of 189 27-under to secure the win by three strokes.  both Cherry and Hage’s scorecards were bogey-free With Cherry’s four birdies and Hage’s five birdies Cherry + Hage were not the only ones sitting next in line on the leaderboard at 9-under and many teams also sat at 8-under and 7-under Cherry and Hage both played another incredible 18 holes of golf Cherry + Hage finished with an impressive 60 The Shambley’s put up another good fight in the second round shooting another score that was double digits under par David Shambley birdied six holes in a row in the middle of their second round It’s fun to be out here and we really like the course and with the greens being soft you can be pretty aggressive so I think we have a good opportunity tomorrow.” Cherry + Hage sat at the top of the leaderboard along with the Shambley’s both teams at 21-under heading into the Final Round on Saturday The next competitors sat three strokes back at 18-under.  When asked about their partnership out on the course when playing our-ball instead of individual stroke play We just wanted to go out there and have fun.”  The Final Round was a great day of competition with exciting birdie putts dropping and fist bumps of celebration throughout the day the Shambley’s had the lead by themselves at 24-under and behind them sat Cherry + Hage along with Ryan Kerns of Cornelius Cherry + Hage made their way back up to the top with the Shambley’s at 23-under as they made the turn.  Birdies on 10 and 12 gave Cherry + Hage momentum and encouragement as they took the top spot of the leaderboard alone at 25-under with the Shambley’s two strokes behind at 24-under with just a few holes to go.  “We checked the leaderboard towards the end to see how much of a cushion we had but outside of that we were just playing our games and having fun out there,” Cherry explained.  Cherry + Hage had a two-stroke lead heading into the 18th hole and as friends and family stood around the 18th green to celebrate their victory Hage sunk his birdie putt on 18 to make the win just a little sweeter Our short game is probably what won us the tournament this week,” Cherry said Hage takes lessons at Lonnie Poole and has played the course countless times “I’ve played here since I was eight years old so it definitely helped to know the course that well,” Hage shared.  “It means a lot to come out here and win it with my partner It was ultimately about having fun and it was a great way to end the week

effort led the seventh-ranked University of Michigan ice hockey team to a season-opening split after defeating Minnesota State 4-1 on Saturday evening (Oct Freshman Cameron Korpi earned his first career start for Michigan native took full advantage of the opportunity turning aside 24 of 25 shots to start his tenure on a positive note Hage continued his torrid start by netting his first collegiate goal at 11:48 with a quick shot that was in and out of the net by the time the celebrations began The play was created in transition off the sticks of Moldenhauer and freshman defender Dakoda Rhéaume-Mullen Hage had factored in on Michigan's first four goals of the season both teams had put nine shots on goal while the Wolverines led at the faceoff dot winning 13 of 21 draws The second period came and went without either team getting on the scoreboard despite both teams each having a pair of power-play opportunities Minnesota State halved the deficit with a goal that made it 2-1 Minnesota State pulled its goaltender with a bit over one minute left in regulation in search of a game-tying goal, but the Wolverines buried on the empty net instead to ice the game at 3-1 with 41 seconds left when Josh Eernisse notched his first goal of the year The visitors emptied their net for a second time and before time expired, Tyler Duke sent a lob from the defensive zone that found its way into the back of the net fractions of a second before the final buzzer sounded While the teams mobbed their goaltenders and prepared for the handshake line the officials gathered in the penalty box to confirm the unassisted goal that made it 4-1 The Wolverines owned the faceoff dot once again (33-26) but the Mavericks did outshoot the home team 25-18 the Wolverines hit the road for another non-conference series against Arizona State The series opener will be streamed live on NCHC.tv A vivid history of the American Prairie and an urgent call to understand and protect this natural wonder which rivals the rainforest in its biological diversity and The North American prairie is an ecological marvel One cubic yard of prairie sod contains so many organisms that it rivals the tropical rainforest for biological diversity it showcases nature’s prodigious talent for symbiosis The lush carpet of grasses feeds a huge population of grazing animals and is home to some of the nation’s most iconic creatures–bison These creatures return the favor by spreading nitrogen and seeds across the prairie in their manure and the grazers in turn feed prairie predators they return their store of organic matter to the living soil When European settlers encountered the prairie nearly 200 years ago rather than recognizing a natural wonder they saw a daunting landscape of root-tangled soil But with the development of the steel plow in mere decades they converted the prairie into some of the richest farmland on Earth—a transformation unprecedented in human history American farmers fed the industrial revolution and made North America a breadbasket for the world but their progress came at a terrible cost: the forced dislocation of indigenous peoples as these trends build toward an environmental crisis industrial agriculture has resumed its assault on the prairie plowing up the remaining grasslands at the rate of one million acres a year Farmers have an opportunity to protect this extraordinary landscape but trying new ideas can mean ruin in a business with razor-thin margins and will require help from Washington and from consumers who care about the land that feeds them Veteran journalists and Midwesterners Dave Hage and Josephine Marcotty follow the history of humanity’s relationship with this incredible land compassionate analysis of the difficult decisions as well as opportunities facing agricultural and Indigenous communities Sea of Grass is a vivid portrait of one of the world’s most miraculous and significant ecosystems making clear why the future of this region is of essential concern far beyond the heartland Dave Hage oversaw environmental and health reporting at the Minneapolis Star Tribune for a dozen years editing

Hughes was banished for roughing the alternate captain exited the box and rejoined play following a successful penalty kill Twenty-five seconds after Michigan began its first power play of the evening, Jacob Truscott was whistled for tripping to even play at 4x4 The U-M penalty killers moved to 2-for-2 on the night by denying the opportunity Michigan carried a 1-0 lead and a 10-6 edge in shots on goal up the stairs to the dressing room U-M also held a 9-7 lead in the faceoff dot through 20 minutes Early in the second, Michigan doubled its lead when Michael Hage broke out a fly route to skate into a high flip from Jackson Hallum The freshman corralled the puck before outlasting the goalie and tucking the puck into the net Truscott collected the secondary assist for securing possession and propelling the puck toward Hallum who had just enough space to flip the puck high into the offensive zone to send Hage on the breakaway for his ninth goal of the year On the following shift, Philippe Lapointe was called for slashing to give WMU a third power-play chance Michigan's penalty killers stymied the opportunity Michigan's power play was reactivated with 2:52 remaining in the second period when Josh Eernisse drew a penalty for hooking The unit dropped to 0-for-2 after sustaining time in Western's zone but failing to produce shots on goal With time ticking down, Tyler Duke wheeled around U-M's net with the puck on his stick in hopes of skating out the clock until intermission as they took a late penalty for high-sticking with 3.4 seconds left in the frame when a stick lift attempt caught a healthy piece of Duke's facemask With one period left in the season's non-conference slate Michigan owned a 2-0 lead as they headed into the second intermission The Wolverines held a commanding 19-9 lead in shots on goal in addition to a 22-13 advantage in the faceoff dot Fresh ice failed to create a goal for the Michigan power play as the advantage came and went without incident in the opening minutes of the third period Western later took a turn of their own on the power play at 2:42 when Eernisse was called for interference on a reverse hit in anticipation of a play along the boards A bit over halfway into the ensuing WMU advantage Hallum used his speed to draw a tripping penalty while shorthanded to create 49 seconds of 4x4 play before an abbreviated power play could begin play carried on at full strength with the score still 2-0 in Michigan's favor The Broncos emptied their net with two and a half minutes left in regulation still searching for their first marker of the contest Michigan quickly challenged the play in hopes that it was offside and the teams embarked upon the final two minutes with the deficit trimmed to one goal Strong goaltending and a stout defensive effort led Michigan to close out the one-goal victory and clinch a split in the weekend series Michigan's 2-1 win over a strong WMU team was powered by a 30-18 advantage in shots on goal as well as a strong effort in the faceoff circle (31-27) The penalty kill was excellent for the Wolverines as they held Western to 0-for-4 with the extra skater to help ensure a victory With a one-goal victory in hand following the 124th all-time rendition of the rivalry along I-94 Michigan's lead in the series now stands at 40 games (77-37-10) This weekend also

success over their rivals to the southwest the seventh-ranked University of Michigan ice hockey team scored in the first minute and never looked back as they defeated 20th-ranked Notre Dame 4-2 on Saturday evening (Nov Michael Hage opened the scoring just 41 seconds into the game with a laser of a shot from the top of the left circle that found twine to give Michigan an early lead. Both of his linemates, Evan Werner and Nick Moldenhauer assisted on the freshman's fifth goal of the year that set the tone for the Saturday sweep opportunity Werner doubled the lead at 2:08 when his shot from near the goal line deflected off of a UND defender on the far side of the crease and trickled across the goal line. Moldenhauer notched his second assist of the period after receiving a breakout pass from freshman blueliner Will Felicio whose secondary assist went down as his first collegiate point Michigan carried the play for much of the period leading 16-5 in shots on goal until UND halved the deficit with a goal at 16:44 that made it a 2-1 game Michigan's checking line reclaimed the team's two-goal lead and made it 3-1 at the six-minute mark of the second period off a marker from Thomas Daskas The veteran forward participated in cycling the puck around the Irish zone before finding an opportunity to shoot the puck and ultimately notch his first goal as a Wolverine when the puck deflected off the webbing of the goaltender's glove Notre Dame struck back with a goal in transition to make it 3-2 The first half of the final period was clunky at times as each side searched for the all-important next goal with each earning a man-advantage opportunity With an empty cage with 1:36 left in regulation, Notre Dame searched for a game-tying goal. After taking their timeout with 39 seconds left, UND failed to regain possession in the Michigan zone. Ultimately, Philippe Lapointe was able to chip the puck down the ice toward the empty net following a battle in the neutral zone With the shot losing momentum as it slid through the UND end Hallum beat the Irish in a race to the puck before depositing it into the net to put the finishing touches on a 4-2 win for Michigan U-M locked up a two-game sweep over Notre Dame to kick off Big Ten play Michigan's win was backed by a 34-29 advantage in shots on goal with Korpi turning aside 27 shots in his third win Michigan's victory bumped their lead in the series to 92-70-6 Michigan's active win streak over the Irish has now ballooned to seven games -- the longest in the series since U-M won eight straight over the Fighting Irish from 2004 to 2005 during the CCHA days The Wolverines will have a bye next weekend before hitting the road for a series at Penn State start with Saturday's start time to be determined Lawrence, Hage thrive on offense as Kentucky defeats Hofstra - Southeastern ConferenceFebruary 28, 2025BaseballShareXFacebookLawrence Hage thrive on offense as Kentucky defeats HofstraLuke Lawrence and Cole Hage combine for five hits as the Wildcats overcome a slew of errors in the series-opening 7-5 win over the Pride Michael Hage (Chicago Steel)Hage Selected 21st Overall by Montreal Canadiens in NHL Draft6/28/2024 9:36:00 PM | Ice Hockey • NHL Draft Tracker | Michigan Players Selected in the NHL Draft | Wolverines in the NHL -- Michael Hage of the University of Michigan ice hockey team was selected by the Montreal Canadiens with the 21st overall pick in the first round of the 2024 NHL Draft on Friday night (June 28) Hage spent the last two seasons with the Chicago Steel of the United States Hockey League he finished fourth in the league in scoring this season with 75 points in 54 games He tallied 24 multiple-point games last season with a career best five-point game against Madison Hage finished in the top 20 in several physical fitness tests including pro agility and consecutive pull-ups In his first practice with Chicago in 2022 Hage suffered an upper-body injury that forced him to miss six months of the 2022-23 season He made his USHL debut on March 10 and had five goals and five assists in the final 13 games before helping the Steel to the finals of the Clarke Cup Hage will begin his freshman year at Michigan in the fall Rounds 2-7 will be held on Saturday (June 29) beginning at 11:30 a.m There are no statistics available for this player Thanks for visiting The use of software that blocks ads hinders our ability to serve you the content you came here to enjoy We ask that you consider turning off your ad blocker so we can deliver you the best experience possible while you are here A Division of NBCUniversal DISCLAIMER: This site and the products offered are for entertainment purposes only and there is no gambling offered on this site This service is intended for adult audiences No guarantees are made for any specific outcome If you or someone you know has a gambling problem It was an open secret, and it’s now confirmed: Canadiens prospect Michael Hage will be back with the University of Michigan in 2025-26 This was confirmed by Hage himself in an interview with Marco D’Amico who shared this information a few minutes after completing the interview There is no more ambiguity or room for debate #GoHabsGo prospect Michael Hage confirms his return to Michigan for next season to @TheRGMedia :"I want to go back and win a championship."
