Liberty ACHA Division I men’s hockey senior Quinn Ryan (left), DI women’s sophomore Yannick Truter, and DII men’s junior Charlie Wilkie, all forwards, are prepared to lead the Flames and Lady Flames in St. Louis and Minot and Bismarck, N.D., respectively.
It has been one year and one month since four of Liberty University’s five men’s and women’s hockey teams who qualified for the ACHA National Championships had their trip to Frisco, Texas, canceled by COVID-19.
This weekend, after a shortened season played mostly in the spring semester, three of those teams are renewing their national championship dreams, with the DI and DII men’s squads pursuing their first titles in St. Louis, Mo,. and Bismarck, N.D., respectively, and the top-ranked DI women in Minot, N.D., in search of their third consecutive crown.
Sandoval hopes to continue his education at the University of North Dakota.

MINOT, N.D. • For most people, at a young age you aspire to be a firefighter, a cowgirl, or even an astronaut. Those people tend to grow up and change those dreams to do something more mainstream.
That isn’t that case for senior Michael Sandoval. Originally from Plentywood, Mont., Sandoval and his family moved to Garrison creating opportunities for Sandoval to pursue his dreams.
“I did my first two years of college at Williston State College and when it came to deciding where I wanted to transfer to, Minot State University offered what I wanted and was a smooth transfer because of the North Dakota University System (NDUS),” Sandoval said.

The MSU Dome will look a little different during this year’s celebration, according to information provided by MSU. Last fall, the University displayed flags of the Mandan, Hidatsa, & Arikara Nation, the Spirit Lake Nation, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians, and the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate Nation to acknowledge their cultures and their presence on campus. The event will also implement standard guidelines for COVID-19, including doubled seating to allow for physical distancing, mask requirements for audience members and performers, and concessions to go.
