The Big Ten hockey season is just around the corner, and the college hockey conference is ready to start promoting its teams and players.
Monday morning, the Big Ten announced its preseason honors, which include three University of Michigan players. Bloomfield Hills native Will Lockwood is expected to play a significant role for the Wolverines’ offense as a sophomore, while freshmen Josh Norris (Oxford) and Quinn Hughes (Orlando) will make immediate impacts, as well. All three are USA Hockey’s National Team Development Program alums.
