About the Beavers
Bemidji State capped the 2017-18 season at 16-14-8 overall to place fourth in the WCHA standings, but the Beavers were swept by underdog Michigan Tech in the opening round of the WCHA playoffs.
The 2018-19 Beavers have ten new faces on the roster; six forwards, three defencemen and one goaltender. The nine players they lost represent 43% of the Beavers scoring from the previous campaign.
Bemidji’s top returning scoring threats are forwards Jay Dickman, Charlie Combs, Adam Brady and Gerry Fitzgerald. Defenceman Justin Baudry adds more offence from the back end of the Beavers’ attack.
