Easton Classic Primer

The win less St. Cloud State Huskies host nationally ranked Wisconsin, Mercyhurst and Northeastern in the 2011 Easton Holiday Showcase at the National Hockey Center in St. Cloud. While the both games featuring Wisconsin feature potential NCAA Tournament pairings the real focus for these teams will be the amount of adjustment needed to succeed after a long stretch without a game.
