Felsner is currently third on the Michigan all-time goal scoring list (101). Oliver, meanwhile, leads the Central College Hockey Association with 16 goals, nine off the power play.

Harvard's defense has played well this year--the Crimson is tops in the ECAC--and should benefit from the return of senior defender Brian McCormack and senior goalie Allain Roy.

Captain Kevin Sneddon, however, is still questionable for the tournament. Bulging disks in his back have kept the senior blue-liner out since November 26.

The defensive burden, then, will fall primarily on sophomores Derek Maguire and Sean McCann.

If they can keep the tenacious Wolverines at bay, the Crimson stands a good chance of pulling off an upset in the Motor City.

And about that NCAA tournament?

THE NOTEBOOK: Michigan has won the Great Lakes Invitational for the last three years in a row...The Michigan Tech hockey team must be looking forward to a merry Christmas. The Huskies get the unique pleasure (torture?) of spending December 25 on a bus travelling to Detroit for the tournament...St. Lawrence edged Clarkson, 4-3, Friday night, ending the Golden Knights phenomenal two-year, 27-game home winning streak. Both teams are now tied for second in the ECAC...The USSR may have disbanded, but don't tell that to the hockey teams. Yaroslavl will represent the USSR against Vermont and St. Lawrence over the holidays. Clarkson will host the Soviet (what?) National B Team on December 22.
