Impact: A week ago we joked that Western Michigan,
0-2-0 against the CHA, really wasn't ready to add a
'C' to the beginning of that league's name. Leave it
to a guy named Szczechura to show us the folly of worrying
about mere letters. He had a hand in seven of the Broncos'
10 goals – six coming on the power play and one
more short-handed – to lead them to a stunning
two-game sweep of preseason CCHA favorite Ohio State.
Szczechura not only erased his team's slow start, but
also his own. He had entered the weekend with one assist
in those two earlier losses.
