Season 8 Episode 5 of the Chasing MacNaughton Podcast: Drop The Puck. This week, Tim Braun and Rob Gilreath were joined by Marco Hunt, Director of Officiating for the CCHA. In this episode they discussed CCHA rule changes, a weekend sweep for Michigan Tech against Alaska, and previewed the Ferris State series. 


CCHA Rule Changes


Marco talked about the new rules for the season including the trapezoid expansion behind the net, clarifying hand passes, faceoff procedure changes, embellishment and diving enforcement, and delay-of-game crackdowns. There was a debate about how each rule affects gameplay and whether officials are calling embellishment consistently. The guys went on a tangent about John Scott's rock-paper-scissors faceoff story. 


Michigan Tech vs Alaska Weekend Recap


The Huskies swept Alaska at home (3-0 on Friday and 4-2 on Saturday). The guys talked about Luke Shipley’s major penalty during Saturday's game, and Owen Bartoszkiewicz posting a shutout on Friday. They gave Tech’s blue line heavy praise for its offensive contributions and puck movement. The guys discussed line combinations in the wake of Teydon Trembecky's injury and how the forward group will need to adapt. 


Ferris State Preview


There was a brief preview of the upcoming Ferris State series. The guys discussed what to expect and key matchups to watch.
