KALAMAZOO, Mich. – After a weekend sweep of Colorado College, the Western Michigan hockey team was able to jump up in the latest national polls. 

In this week's USCHO and USA Hockey/The Rink Live polls, the Broncos jumped up to No. 15. WMU joined North Dakota, Denver and St. Cloud State as NCHC teams to be ranked in both polls. Omaha was receiving votes in each poll as well. 

Western Michigan will return home to square off with St. Lawrence this weekend. Puck drop for Friday, Nov. 24 is set for 7 p.m. inside Lawson Arena. The Broncos are now 6-3-1 overall and 3-3-0 in conference play. 

This season WMU will be celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Bronco Varsity Hockey, which will be commemorated in a variety of ways, including a special 50th Anniversary logo at center ice, special in-game tributes throughout the season, and a special Alumni Weekend for Bronco Hockey during the Colorado College series, January 26 and 27. In addition, every season ticket holder will receive a special 50th Anniversary puck to commemorate this special season.
