Home, Sweet HomeFollowing this week’s series, the Gophers return home for the final two weeks of the regular season, hosting North Dakota (Feb. 10-11) and Wisconsin (18-19). Including a mark of 11-0-1 in 2016-17, the Gophers have compiled a record of 106-4-8 in home games at Ridder Arena dating back to the 2011-12 season. Since 2011-12, Minnesota has a .932 winning percentage at home.
Night OwlsMinnesota remains undefeated in night games this season, going 9-0-1 in games beginning later than 4:07 p.m. The Gophers are 10-5-2 in games beginning at 4:07 p.m. and earlier.
Team-Best Point StreakJunior forward Kelly Pannek has at least one point in 24 of Minnesota’s 26 games this season. She had 44 points (14g-30a) during a 20-game point streak from Oct. 14 to Jan. 20. Pannek’s point streak included at least one assist in 19 of 20 games.
Gophers Rank Among NCAA’s BestPannek leads the country with 51 points (14g-37a), 1.37 points per game, 37 assists, and 1.37 assists per game. Sarah Potomak (15g-24a) is tied for sixth in the NCAA with 39 points and 1.50 points per game and is tied for the NCAA lead with six game-winning goals. In addition, Lee Stecklein (3g-15a) and Megan Wolfe (6g-12a) are among the NCAA’s top-scoring defensemen. Stecklein ranks sixth in the nation with 0.75 points per game with Wolfe behind her in eighth at 0.72 points per game.
Special Teams Play Despite going 0-for-15 on the power play in its last five games, Minnesota still leads the NCAA at 22-for-80 (27.5 percent) this season. Kelly Pannek’s team-high six power-play goals are tied for second in the NCAA and lead the WCHA. Minnesota also leads the nation in fewest penalty minutes per game at 5.9 minutes per game in 27 games, and the Gophers' penalty kill leads the NCAA at 69-for-75 for 92.0 percent as well.
Scoring MilestonesSenior assistant captains Dani Cameranesi (93g-108a) and Kate Schipper (36g-73a) each reached career scoring milestones against Wisconsin (Dec. 3). Cameranesi became the eighth Gopher all-time to reach 200 career points while Schipper led Minnesota with a three-point weekend (2g-1a) to become the 33rd Gopher to surpass 100 career points. Earlier this season, junior forward Kelly Pannek (51g-93a) became the 32nd player in Gophers history to surpass 100 career points with two points (1g-1a) against Minnesota Duluth (Oct. 15).
Gopher Rookies ContributeAll six of Minnesota’s freshmen have found their way on to the scoresheet for the Maroon & Gold this season. Most recently, Kippin Keller (1g-1a) scored her first career goal in the Gophers’ 2-1 win at St. Cloud State (Jan. 27). Patti Marshall (1g-7a) has played in all 25 games this season, and Katie Robinson (1g-1a) scored her first career goal against Minnesota State (Jan. 8).

Freshman goaltender Serena D’Angelo has appeared in four games, and Alex Woken (1g-3a) appeared in the first 15 games of the year before being sidelined due to injury.
Frost Secures 300th WinHead coach Brad Frost secured his 300th career coaching victory with the Gophers’ road sweep at Ohio State (Oct. 21-22). He enters this weekend’s series with an all-time mark of 312-50-25. This year marks Frost’s 10th season at the helm of the Gophers. Last season Frost became the winningest coach in Gopher women’s hockey history, surpassing Laura Halldorson (278-67-22) for career coaching wins.
Cameranesi Leaving Scoring MarkSenior forward Dani Cameranesi is Gophers’ active career scoring leader with 201 career points (93g-108a) to tie for seventh in Minnesota history. Cameranesi’s 93 goals are seventh in Gopher women’s hockey history, her 108 assists are tied for seventh, and her 32 power-play goals are tied for third all-time.

2016-17 Minnesota Golden Gopher Women’s Hockey • Back-to-Back Defending NCAA National Champions
HEAD COACH BRAD FROST
The 2016-17 season marks head coach Brad Frost's 10th season at the helm of Gopher women's hockey. In nine seasons as head coach, Frost has brought the program to the pinnacle of the collegiate hockey world by advancing to five-straight national championship games and winning four of the last five national crowns, including back-to-back titles in 2012 and 2013 and again in 2015 and 2016. After joining the program in 2001 as an assistant coach and later holding the interim head coach title during the 2007-08, Frost was named the program's second head coach on April 16, 2008.
With nine years of experience under his belt, the Bethel University graduate has guided the Gophers to four NCAA national championships, seven NCAA Frozen Four appearances, five WCHA regular season titles and three WCHA Final Face-Off championships. Frost concluded the 2015-16 season with a career record of 293-45-22 (.844) and has not had a team finish lower than second in the WCHA.
COACHING EXCELLENCE
Frost, who has won four national titles, is considered one of the best and most respected coaches in collegiate hockey. In his nine seasons, he has been named an AHCA Coach of the Year Finalist six times and has won the national honor twice (2013 and 2014). Frost has also been named WCHA Coach of the Year four times (2008, 2009, 2013 and 2014). Under his tutelage, the Gophers have accumulated six seasons with 30 or more wins, including 2015-16. In 2013, Frost led the Gophers to the NCAA's first-ever perfect season (41-0-0).
PLAYER DEVELOPMENT
Over the last nine years, Frost has coached some of the top talent not only in the nation but also in the world. He has seen seven players (Megan Bozek, Mira Jalosuo, Amanda Kessel, Gigi Marvin, Noora Räty, Anne Schleper and Lee Stecklein) represent their respective countries in the Olympics. He also aided the development of former Gophers and Olympians Natalie Darwitz, Kelly Stephens, Lyndsay Wall and Krissy Wendell while a Minnesota assistant coach. Frost has coached a total of 12 players to a combined 21 All-American honors. Among those All-Americans is 2013 Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award winner Amanda Kessel. A total of nine Minnesota student-athletes have been named Top-10 Patty Kaz finalists 17 times under Frost's tutelage, including Hannah Brandt and Dani Cameranesi in 2015-16.
ACADEMIC SUCCESS
Under Frost's guidance, the Gophers have recorded a 3.0 or higher grade point average and increased the team's Academic Progress Rating (APR). Minnesota has accumulated 100 WCHA All-Academic Team awards (14 in 2015-16), 32 WCHA Scholar Athlete honorees (seven in 2015-16) and two WCHA Outstanding Student-Athlete of the Year award recipients (Gigi Marvin, 2009 and Kelly Terry, 2014) since Frost took reign.
INTERNATIONAL COACHING EXPERIENCE
Frost has served USA Hockey by working development camps and serving as a coach for various U.S. teams. In 2006, he was an assistant coach of the U.S. Under-22 Team, and from 2008-09, he was an assistant coach for the U.S. National Team.
PERSONAL LIFE
Frost grew up in Burlington, Ontario, and attended Aldershot High School. After graduating from Aldershot, he decided to attend college at Bethel University, which is where his parents originally met. While at Bethel, he studied Physical & Health Education and was a two-sport athlete, competing in hockey and golf. Frost was a four-year letterwinner in hockey and completed his career ranked eighth on Bethel's career scoring list. In 1994 and 1995, he was voted the team's Most Valuable Player and Most Inspirational. He also captained the Royals his junior and senior seasons. At Bethel, Frost met his wife Dayna. They now reside in Cottage Grove, Minn., and have three sons: Micah, Jonah and Josiah.
