Ohio State Men's Ice Hockey (2019 B1G Champions)

[Tomateaux Quinoa Gumbeaux]

I wonder if the advantage of living and training at high altitude was the determining factor. Wiscy seemed gassed the last ten while DU just kept chugging.

Could be a factor. I think Denver played a kind of “rope a dope” style both games. They dump the puck a lot and focused on playing tight defense and their goalie played at an elite level and just waited for UW to make mistakes.

The second goal in particular, as soon as wisky’s goalie lost his stick I knew Denver was going to score.

Was a good game, overall. Just like the semis, Denver did just enough to stick around, and then get that late push for the win.

Looks like we're not losing any production to the portal. Three skaters who scored a total of four points and a backup goalie. The improvement and finish that this team showed the last third of the season and not losing key returnees to the portal has me pretty optimistic that we will challenge for the B1G title and an ncaa berth next year.

It's like peak Tresselball and Hicks is Mike Nugent.

Indications are that we're stepping up to play the NIL/portal game.

Ohio State and Michigan State also added the portal’s highest-drafted players. OSU added sophomore defenseman Sascha Boumedienne, in a surprise move away from Boston University;

4 incoming Ohio State hockey players were selected in the 2026 NHL Draft​

Despite being drafted, all four players are expected to play for Ohio State in the fall.

Ben Wilmott - 92nd overall pick - Las Vegas Golden Knights​

Evan Jardine - 121st overall pick - Columbus Blue Jackets​

Tobias Tvrznik - 126th overall pick - Colorado Avalanche​

This season we saw Jakub Dobeš take over as the starting goaltender in Montreal, helping the Canadiens reach the Eastern Conference Finals before they were eventually eliminated by the Carolina Hurricanes, who went on to win the Stanley Cup.
Tobias Tvrznik hopes to find success in the NHL in the future after he was drafted by the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday in the fourth round.

The Czechia product will have a few years before he reaches the NHL, as he won’t even turn 19 until the end of July. Before committing to Ohio State, Tvrznik appeared in 39 games for the Wenatchee Wild of the Western Hockey League, posting a 3.10 goals against average and .913 save percentage.

While the goals against average is a little high, Tvrznik’s save percentage is impressive. With a pretty crowded pipeline at goalie, Tvrznik can afford to spend some time in Columbus to develop.

Will Tomko - 204th overall pick - Seattle Kraken​
