The conference that still has the top dogs
Recently, there’s been a constant in collegiate hockey: the Big Ten. After the third straight year where the conference put four teams in the NCAA Tournament, that constant isn’t going anywhere. Three of those teams — Michigan, Michigan State and Minnesota — reached a Regional Final, and the Wolverines were the sole team to make the Frozen Four. Though...
Roster Breakdown: New season, new faces
It’s a new year, and with that comes an even newer Michigan hockey team. Big Ten Player of the Year forward Gavin Brindley, high-scoring forward Dylan Duke and star defenseman Seamus Casey are just a few of many Wolverines not returning from last season — including the only two goaltenders that saw the ice. Overall, Michigan lost five of its...
Michigan needs to define its new brand of hockey
In recent history, the Michigan hockey team has become notable for the stars it has brought in. The Wolverines have lost big names each year to professional hockey, but they’ve found a solution each of the last three seasons to earn a trip to the Frozen Four. But for this year’s roster, it’s going to take more than just...
Ethan Edwards has learned the importance of patience in hockey
When he was 2 years old, Ethan Edwards was dragged to rinks around Northern Alberta, Canada to watch his brother, Brett, learn to play hockey.

Danny Wolf’s transition to the four under Dusty May in the Big Ten
ROSEMONT, Ill. — For both Danny Wolf and Dusty May, a lot changed in a year.

But the change for the junior forward and the first-year coach of the Michigan men’s basketball...
Ann Arbor responds to spending of unarmed crisis response money
In early July, the Ann Arbor City Council reallocated $3.5 million in federal funding intended for the development of an unarmed crisis response program to other initiatives. These funds were first allocated for the response program in 2022 through the American Rescue Plan Act and had to be spent by 2024. While the city had an open request...
Sip and Stroll, Ann Arbor expands Downtown Social District
On State and Main Street, Ann Arbor locals are now invited to enjoy a drink in the Downtown Social District, whether it’s by sipping a craft beer at Ashley’s or a post-jazz show cocktail at Blue Llama. Since the Ann Arbor City Council and the Michigan Liquor Control Commission approved an expanded plan on Sept. 18, 2024, the Social...
‘The Substance’ almost made me throw up in the theater.
When I was invited to watch “The Substance,” I was really looking forward to it. I knew nothing aside from the fact that my Letterboxd feed loved it. I don’t think I’ve ever been so disgusted and disappointed by a film in my life. In a world of film bros, I am but a mere Style beat writer, so...
In ‘Dìdi,’ teenage cringe has never been better
Director Sean Wang’s (debut) previous documentary work invites viewers to fully understand his subjects, building upon initial impressions to expand into nuances of their existence. Wang’s Oscar-nominated documentary short “Nǎi Nai & Wài Pó” exemplifies this sentiment.
