Friday’s game begins at 7:37 p.m., and Saturday’s contest begins at 7:07 p.m. The Teams The Mavericks are 1-3-0 following an appearance last week at the Brice Alaska Goal Rush. In that tournament, they played Alaska Anchorage in a non-conference game. UNO is 1-2-1 all-time against the Seawolves. This will be the first ever meeting between the two teams in Omaha. Alaska Anchorage is 3-0-1 to begin the week. The Seawolves are coming off yet another tournament win. After winning their own Kendall Hockey Classic to begin the regular season, they took home the trophy from the Alaska Goal Rush. This is the team’s best start since the 2008-09 campaign when it also started 3-0-1. Last Time Out UNO dropped both games at the Brice Alaska Goal Rush last weekend, losing to Anchorage, 3-0, and losing the second game to Alaska, 4-1. In the tournament opener, the Seawolves got three goals in a span of 5:41 in the second period to seize control of a defensive battle. Mark Pustin scored on a long wrist shot at 9:43, Quinn Sproule beat a screened John Faulkner at 14:44, and Matt Bailey lifted home a sharp-angled shot just 40 seconds later to put UAA in command. Rob Gunderson stopped all 23 shots he faced for the shutout. Faulkner suffered the loss with 14 saves while Ryan Massa stopped all 14 shots he faced in relief duty, his first collegiate action. The following night against Alaska, Colton Beck got a goal at 3:02 of the first period for the Nanooks. UAF’s Nik Yaremchuk scored shorthanded less than three minutes into the second period to put his team up 2-0 after two. Nolan Youngmun made it 3-0 halfway through the third period before Terry Broadhurst scored during a power play to get UNO on the board. Beck tallied less than a minute later to close the scoring. Scott Greenham made 31 saves to get the win for Alaska while Massa, in his first collegiate start, turned aside 25 shots. The Coaches Dean Blais is in his third year as the head coach of the Mavericks, having led UNO to back-to-back 20- win campaigns. The 1973 graduate of Minnesota has posted a career record of 304-150-41 (.656) and has guided the Mavericks to a mark of 42-35-8 (.541) since coming to Omaha. In 2010-11, he was named the WCHA Coach of the Year, the fourth time he’s earned the honor. He will serve as the head coach of the 2012 U.S. World Junior Team in December. Blais is a two-time Spencer Penrose Memorial Award winner as the Division I coach of the year. He spent 10 years as head coach at North Dakota where he led the Fighting Sioux to national championships in 1997 and 2000. He is assisted by third-year associate head coach Mike Hastings and first-year assistant coach Brian Renfrew who joins the UNO staff after eight seasons at Michigan State. Dave Shyiak is in his seventh season as the head coach at Alaska Anchorage. The 1993 Northern Michigan grad is 70-127-25 behind the Seawolves bench. He is assisted by Campbell Blair and T.J. Jindra.

HONORS AND AWARDS

•Spencer Penrose Award (1997, 2001)•NCAA Championship (1997, 2000)•NCAA Tournament Appearances (1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2011)•WCHA Coach of the Year (1997, 1999, 2001, 2011)•IIHF World Junior Championship (2010)•USHL Coach of the Year (2009)

In just two years, Dean Blais has had an indelible influence on University of Nebraska Omaha hockey, burnishing his already exceptional credentials as one of the nation’s finest coaches. Blais has led the Mavericks to two straight 20-win seasons, doing so for just the second time in school history. In the process, he earned his 300th career win. During the 2010-11 season, Blais guided UNO into the Western Collegiate Hockey Association where the Mavs finished third after being chosen to finish eighth and ninth in two pre-season polls. UNO returned to the NCAA playoffs for just the second time in school history last season and achieved a national ranking of fourth for four straight weeks, the highest in school history. Under Blais’ leadership, the Mavericks were 21-16-2 last season and 17-9-2 in the WCHA. The third-place finish was the highest ever for the Mavs in conference play. UNO’s strong showing earned Blais the nod as the WCHA’s Coach of the Year and put him in the running for the Spencer Penrose Trophy as Division I hockey’s top coach. It wasn’t difficult to see why Blais earned the accolades. The Mavericks swept their first-ever WCHA series, winning twice at Minnesota in October. They followed that with a split of a non-conference series at Michigan, a place they had won just once previously. Before Christmas, the Mavericks had won and tied at always-tough St. Cloud State and stunned pre-season favorite North Dakota, winning 1-0 at home on a goal by Alex Hudson with .3 seconds remaining in regulation. The second half of the year featured another stunning win over North Dakota, this time by an 8-4 tally at vaunted Ralph Engelstad Arena in Grand Forks. Typical of Blais’ teams, the Mavericks surged down the stretch with back-to-back sweeps of St. Cloud and Wisconsin and hard-fought splits with Denver and at eventual national champion Minnesota Duluth. Blais earned win number 300 with a 4-3 win over the Badgers on Feb. 12 to complete the sweep. UNO’s return to the NCAA playoffs was short-lived as the Mavericks lost to Michigan 3-2 in overtime in the regional semifinals on March 25, but Blais once again had been successful in further raising the expectations of his players and UNO fans alike. Seven players registered career highs in either goals, assists or points. Blais became only the second coach in UNO hockey history on June 12, 2009, succeeding Mike Kemp. In his first year in Omaha, he guided the Mavericks to a record of 20-16-6 overall record and a 13-12-3-2 record in their final season in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association. The record was good for a sixth-place finish, the highest finish by a UNO team since the 2006-2007 season. The Mavericks got stronger as the year progressed. The team was just 10-11-5 entering a weekend series with Northern Michigan in late January. The Mavs had already lost a pair of games to the Wildcats in November at Marquette, but they turned the tables in the rematch, winning by scores of 7-2 and 5-3 to ignite a strong run in the final six weeks of

DEAN BLAISthe season. Blais led UNO to a record of 8-3-1 in the final 12 games. During that string, the Mavericks won at Notre Dame for the first time in nearly five years, beating the Irish 5-3 in the first game of the weekend series. They also earned their first ever series sweep over Michigan, a team they had beaten just four times in 31 prior meetings, with 4-3 and 4-1 wins at Qwest Center Omaha. The Mavs also beat then-top ranked Miami 4-2 in Oxford, Ohio on Feb. 20 and followed that with a 3-2 win over then-sixth ranked Bemidji State the following weekend to close the regular season. Blais found a way to get the most from his players in his first season at UNO. Eleven different players registered career highs in either goals, assists or points during the 2009-2010 campaign. Moreover, Blais’ vaunted conditioning program paid big dividends as the Mavericks were unbeaten (14-0-3) when leading after the second period. In late December of 2010, Blais took over the reins of U.S. Junior Team at the 2010 IIHF World Junior Championship. He led the U.S. to a record of 6-0-1-0. The Americans capped it off with a 6-5 overtime win over host country Canada in the gold medal game on Jan. 5, just the second gold ever won by the U.S. in the World Junior tournament. In March of 2011, it was announced that Blais will reprise his role as U.S. Junior Team head coach, once again leading a team into Canada in search of another gold medal. Blais came to UNO from the Fargo Force of the United States Hockey League where he served as head coach and general manager. As head coach of an expansion team in 2008-09, Blais led the Force to a record of 32-23-5. The team advanced to the USHL’s Clark Cup Finals before losing to the Indiana Ice three games to one. He was named USHL Coach of the Year, and the Force were named Organization of the Year. As a college coach, Blais won NCAA Division I national championships as the head coach of the University of North Dakota in 1997 and 2000. The Fighting Sioux were runners up in 2001, the last of five straight NCAA appearances under Blais. Overall, the native of International Falls, Minn. guided North Dakota to seven NCAA appearances, five regular season WCHA titles and two WCHA playoff championships in addition to the national championships. Blais is a two-time winner of the Spencer Penrose Memorial Award given to the Division I coach of the year. He is a four-time WCHA coach of the year honoree. He was 262-115-33 (.679), including five 30-win seasons, at North Dakota. In total, he spent 19 seasons with the Fighting Sioux, nine as an assistant and ten as the head coach. In that time, he coached 60 NHL draft picks, 28 All-Americans, three WCHA players of the year, four WCHA rookies of the year, 40 members of the All-WCHA team and 11 All-WCHA rookie team picks. In addition to coaching Team USA in 2010, Blais was the head coach of the U.S. National Junior Team in 1993 and an

Dean Blais has led the Mavericks to back-to-back 20-win seasons for just the second time in school history. In 2010-11, he guided the Mavs to a third-place finish in their first year in the WCHA. It’s the highest-ever conference finish for a UNO team.

assistant in 1987 and 1988. He was an assistant for Team USA in the 2000 IIHF World Championships. He also worked for the Columbus Blue Jackets of the National Hockey League from 2004-2007. He served as associate head coach during the 2005-06 season and as director of player development in 2006-07. Blais played college hockey at the University of Minnesota from 1969-73. In 124 games, he had 56 goals and 83 assists for 139 points. He was the Gophers’ Rookie of the Year in 1970 and was an NCAA All-Tournament selection in 1971. After college, he played three seasons of pro hockey with the Chicago Blackhawks’ development team in Dallas, Texas. He began his college career as an assistant at Minnesota in 1976-77 and then was the head coach at Minot (N.D.) High School from 1977-80 before his stint as an assistant at North Dakota. Blais left UND to be the head coach at Roseau (Minn.) High School in 1989-90 where he led his team to the Minnesota State Championship. His team was the conference and regional champion in 1991. He then left to serve as assistant coach of the U.S. Olympic Men’s Ice Hockey Team that took fourth place in the Olympic Winter Games in Albertville, France. After the Olympics, Blais returned to the high school ranks as athletic director and hockey coach at International Falls (Minn.) High School before rejoining North Dakota as head coach in 1994. In April of 2010, Blais signed a contract extension with UNO taking him through the 2014-15 season. Blais is the father of three grown children: Sarah, Ben and Mary Beth.

When Referring to the MavericksAs part of a University-wide rebranding effort that began in 2011, media and fans are reminded to refer to the school as the University of Nebraska Omaha, Nebraska Omaha or UNO. The new “O” logo is UNO’s primary mark while the new bull logo is the secondary mark.

Briefly• The shutout loss to Anchorage was the first of the season for the Mavericks. They were shut out just once last season.• Goaltender Ryan Massa made his collegiate debut on Friday, stopping 14 shots in just over 24 minutes of relief action against Alaska Anchorage. He made his first collegiate start the following night, stopping 25 shots and allowing four goals against Alaska.• John Faulkner made his school record 43rd consecutive start against Alaska Anchorage on Oct. 14. That string stretched back to the end of the 2009-10 season when he started the second game of a playoff series with Ferris State.• On Friday against Alaska Anchorage, the Mavericks played in the first penalty-free game in school history. The closest they had come to that occurrence before then was Oct. 30, 2003 when they were whistled for one minor in a game at Notre Dame.• Friday’s game against UAA will be the first meeting between the two schools outside the state of Alaska. The first three games of the all-time series were staged at Sullivan Arena in Anchorage before last Friday’s meeting in Fairbanks. UNO is 1-2-1 all-time against the Seawolves.• The Mavericks are 1-1-0 at home this season, beating Mercyhurst, 5-1, on Oct. 7 before losing to Colgate, 4-3, on Oct. 8.• The Mavericks will play 12 out of their 18 road games this season in the first half of the season. They have just three road series after Jan. 1, 2012.

Another Bumper Crop One year after welcoming 10 new players to their roster, the Mavericks bring in 10 more freshmen. Of that group, six are fowards, two are defensemen and two are goaltenders. Seven of those players are graduates of the United States Hockey League while two played their junior hockey in Canada. Forward Josh Archibald begins his college career directly from the Minnesota high school ranks. All 10 players are Americans.

Home Ice Advantage UNO is 30-10-3 (.733) at home during the Dean Blais era. The Mavericks finished the 2010-11 season with an overall home record of 13-6-1. In those games, the Mavericks outscored opponents 72-42 and outshot them 780-524. Their power play at home clicked at 15.6 percent (14/90) while the penalty kill was successful 87.3 percent of the time (69/79). UNO finished the 2009-10 season with a record of 16-3-2 at Qwest Center Omaha. UNO is 156-105-31 (.587) all-time on home ice.

Polling Places The Mavericks dropped out of both weekly Division I polls for the first time in more than a year. The last time they weren’t ranked in the top 15 by USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine or the top 20 tabulated by USCHO.com was Oct. 4, 2010. The Mavs were 14th in both polls in the preseason, the same position in which they finished the 2010-11 campaign. Last year, the Mavs spent four weeks ranked fourth in both polls, their highest position ever in the weekly polls. They were in the top 10 for 12 straight weeks, the longest stretch in school history. They had 22 weeks ranked in the top 15 and 13 weeks in the top 10.

Applying Some Whitewash John Faulkner set the standard for shutouts in a season by a UNO goalie, earning six during the 2010-11 season. He enters this season just one from tying Dan Ellis for the UNO lead in career shutouts which Ellis accomplished over three seasons. Faulkner finished the year tied with RIT’s Shane Madolora and Yale’s Ryan Rondeau for the NCAA shutout lead. The native of Sarnia, Ontario pitched four shutouts at home and two on the road. Faulkner would probably tell you he had plenty of help in earning those goose eggs. UNO had posted just four total shutouts in the three prior seasons combined.

The Schedule Again this year, the Mavericks will play 36 regular-season games including 28 against WCHA teams. They are in a schedule grouping with Colorado College, Denver and Bemidji State so that they play each of those teams four times (two home, two road) and the other eight members twice each. In addition, the Mavericks have non-conference series with independent Alabama-Huntsville (Dec. 2 and 3) at the Nashville Predators’ home, Bridgestone Arena and at home against Quinnipiac of the ECAC (Dec. 30 and 31). UNO will play in two tournaments as well. The Mavs host the 2011 Mutual of Omaha Stampede on Oct. 7 and 8, playing Mercyhurst of Atlantic Hockey in the opener and either Robert Morris of Atlantic Hockey or Colgate of the ECAC in the finale. The following week, the Mavs head north to Alaska to take part in the Brice Alaska Goal Rush (Oct. 14 and 15) in Fairbanks. They’ll play WCHA neighbor Alaska Anchorage on Friday and then renew acquaintances with old CCHA rival Alaska the following night.

2,000,000 And Counting The Mavericks welcomed three of the four largest crowds in school history last season including a crowd of 11,504 on Feb. 26 against Denver which ranks third all-time. The largest crowd in UNO history - 15,137 - watched UNO beat Wisconsin, 4-1 on Feb. 11. That same weekend, UNO drew 25,248 to both games of the series, a new school record for attendance for one weekend. The Mavs welcomed their 2,000,000th fan in the first game of the North Dakota series on Friday, Nov. 19. In so doing, they became the fastest NCAA school to reach that mark, doing so in a little more than 13 seasons (294 games). On that same night, they drew the fourth-largest crowd in school history when 11,181 came through the turnstiles. UNO has welcomed six of the nine largest crowds in school history to CenturyLink Center Omaha during the last two seasons. UNO finished the 2010-11 season ranked fifth in the nation in average home attendance, drawing an average of 7,994 to the CenturyLink Center in 20 games.

WCHA Awards The Mavericks won eight weekly awards from the WCHA last season. Goaltender John Faulkner won four as the WCHA Defensive Player of the Week. Eric Olimb also won the award while three UNO freshmen picked up the WCHA’s Rookie of the Week honor.

NHL Draft The Mavericks have three players who have been drafted by National Hockey League teams. Freshman forward Josh Archibald was chosen in the sixth round, 174th overall, by the Pittsburgh Penguins this past summer. Forward Brent Gwidt was a sixth round pick, taken 157th overall, in the 2006 Entry Draft. Defenseman Bryce Aneloski was chosen by the Ottawa Senators in the seventh round, 196th overall, in the 2010 draft.

Leadership Roles For the second time in as many seasons, the Mavericks boast captains who are serving in the role for the first time. Junior forward Terry Broadhurst will serve as the team’s captain while junior goaltender John Faulkner, junior Brent Gwidt and sophomore Matt White will be alternate captains. None of the four players has worn the “C” or the “A” in a prior season with UNO.

Preseason WCHA Polls Following a third-place finish last season, WCHA coaches and media think the Mavericks have a shot of finishing in the top four again this season. In a pair of polls released prior to the start of the season, the Mavs were picked to
