Before he would go on to become a national championship-winning quarterback at the University of Michigan, J.J. McCarthy's first love was hockey. The native of La Grange Park, Illinois started playing the sport at five years old, but chose to give it up as a high school freshman in order to focus on his football career.

For the first time this season, the rivalry was in full swing, and overtime was once again needed to decide the outcome.

No. 1 Michigan State (19-3-2, 10-2-2 Big Ten) navigated a penalty-ridden game to earn a 4-1 win over No. 10 Michigan. The Spartans’ power play went 2-for-7, while the penalty kill blanked the Wolverines on four out of five deployments.
