Scott Matzka....

He passed over the weekend. https://mgoblue.com/news/2018/12/16/ice-hockey-former-wolverine-scott-matzka-passes-away.aspx

His two goals against BC were probably the two most important goals he ever scored in one game. And we were there to see them.

Sad.

Yes, sad indeed. Only 40 years old and two young children. Well from what I have read eh put up a great fight against this disease.

Scott was a solid, 2-way, 4-year player for Red, stepped into the starting lineup as a freshman and stayed there.

But, Alphadriver, if you are referring to the 1998 national championship game, those 2 goals were scored by Scott's classmate Mark Kosick.

Dang, you are right. Why have I had those guys mixed up all of this time??? Darn.

ALS sucks- it's odd to think that UM' has had 2 players die from it in the last 30 years. More odd that my wife had a colleague who got it (Ann Arbor) and I also have a colleague who has it (somewhere else in SE MI- not sure where he lives). I thought ALS was super rare.
