Minnesota honors 50 memorable ‘legends On Ice’
The list of players who have had an impact on the storied 79-year-old program at Minnesota is long and distinguished. Whittling it down to 50 was a major undertaking. But that’s what a selection committee did in advance of a ceremony Feb. 3. The 50 ‘Legends on Ice’ were honored before a Western Collegiate Hockey Association game against Michigan Tech at Mariucci Arena. “We could have picked 200 guys,” Gophers’ program associate Mark Bahr told the St. Paul Pioneer Press, “but we had to draw the line somewhere.” The easy part, according to Bahr, was settling on the 28 All-Americans and three Hobey Baker Award winners. “Then we had to pick from guys who made the Olympic team, set school records and from all the others who played,” he said.
