Michigan notes

Yost awarded back-to-back Regionals

The NCAA yesterday announced Yost Ice Arena as the site of the 2002 and 2003 West Regionals.

The Centrum Centre in Worcester, Mass., was also named as the site of the East Regionals in the same years.

The last time Yost hosted an NCAA Regional was the 1998 season, when Michigan came from behind to defeat North Dakota and go on to an NCAA title.

The Wolverines were in Worcester last season for the East Regional, but were not so lucky as to advance.

In 2002, games are scheduled for March 22-23 at Yost, and in 2003 games are slated for March 29-30.
