Doug Schueller’s 15th season at the helm of the Saint John’s University hockey program begins with a genuine sense of optimism.
For starters, the Johnnies are coming off a third-place finish in the MIAC (9-4-1 conference, 17-8-2 overall) in 2021-22 and their fourth consecutive appearance in the MIAC Playoffs.
Schueller returns six of the eight Johnnies that earned MIAC honors last season, including four of the five AllMIAC first-team selections in junior forward Lewis Crosby (Edina, Minn.), senior forward Auggie Moore (Edina, Minn.), junior defenseman Jack Olsen (Lakeville, Minn.) and senior defenseman Peter Tabor (Edina, Minn.).
All told, SJU returns 85 percent (206 of 243) of its points from last season (81g/125a of 91g/152a), including all but one of the 17 game-winning-goal scorers.
The Johnnies, however, need to replace All-America goaltender Mac Berglove ’21, who posted a 13-6-2 record with two shutouts and a .932 save percentage (547 saves) last season. His 1.88 GAA was the fourth-best in program history among those with 1,000 minutes played or more.
Moore collected his second consecutive All-MIAC, first-team honor last season and will once again don the captain’s “C” for the Johnnies in 2022-23. He played all 27 games and led the Johnnies in points (28), powerplay points (8) and game-winning goals (4), while finishing second in goals (15) and assists (13). Moore finished second on the team with seven goals in conference play. He begins his senior season with 68 points (31g/37a), including 10 game-winning goals, in 62 career games.
A trio of junior forwards who transferred to SJU prior to the 2021-22 season, made instant impacts as sophomores last year. Crosby, like Moore, played all 27 games and led the Johnnies in goals (17) and finished second in points (23). He became the first Johnnie to score 17 goals or more in a season since Matt Erredge '99 (27 goals in 27 games during the 1998-99 season) and the first to record three hat tricks or more in a season since Craig Herr '92 in 1991-
92 (six). Crosby led SJU in goals (8) and power-play goals (2), and tied for third in points (10) in conference play.
Michel finished fourth on the team overall with 19 points (10g/9a) in 25 games and tied with Crosby for the team lead with 11 points (3g/8a) and two game-winning goals in 11 conference games. Josh Maucieri (Crosby, Minn.) collected 14 points (5g/9a) in 25 games.
Rudrud is joined by five other sophomore forwards for SJU in 2022-23. Last season, Rudrud was named to the sixman MIAC All-Rookie Team, becoming the 20th Johnnie to earn the distinction since it was established for the 2004-05 season. He missed the Johnnies' final five games due to injury, but still managed to lead the team with 15 assists and finished third overall with 20 points. He ended the season with a seven-game point streak (1/g7a) and tied for the team lead with 11 points (3g/8a) and two gamewinning goals in 11 MIAC games.
Jackson Sabo (Rosemount, Minn.) joined the Johnnies for spring semester and totaled eight points (4g/4a) in 13 games. Matt DeRosa (Alpharetta, Ga.) followed with six points (4g/2a) in 21 contests, while Cody Carlson (Buffalo, Minn.) and Garrett Smith (Eden Prairie, Minn.) dressed for 14 games each and recorded six (2g/4a) and five points (1g/4a), respectively.
The Johnnies return four of their main six defensemen from last season, minus Jerome Newhouse ’22 (1g/3a in 16 games) and Max Osborne (5g/5a in 24 games), who transferred to Division I Alaska-Anchorage. Olsen’s conference schedule was limited to nine games due to injury, but he still tied for the team lead among defensemen with seven points (0g/7a) from the blue line and finished second overall with a plus/minus rating of +11. He totaled 11 points, all assists, with a team-best +16 in 21 games overall. Tabor, meanwhile, led SJU's defensemen with 17 points (3g/14a) in 25 games, which were good for fifth
overall. His 14 assists were second. He collected six points (2g/4a) in 14 league games.
Senior Joe Raleigh (Lake Elmo, Minn.) and sophomores Cooper Anderson (White Bear Lake, Minn.) and Danny Eckerline (Wayzata, Minn.) also return. Raleigh played all 27 games and collected four assists, while Eckerline appeared in all but one game and added an assist. Anderson totaled three points (1g/2a) in 13 games.
Junior forward Max Borst (Edina, Minn.) and five senior forwards combined for 41 points (14g/27a) a year ago. Borst tallied an even sheet, five goals and five assists, in 22 games, while Henry Enebak (Lakeville, Minn.) collected eight points (1g/7a) in 24 contests. Jack Johnson (Bemidji, Minn.) posted an efficient nine points (2g/7a) in 10 games, and Brett Meister (White Bear Lake, Minn.) and Dan Wieber (St. Joseph, Minn.) added two goals and three assists in 20 games each. Joe Papa (St. Charles, Ill.) appeared in 12 games and tallied four points (2g/2a).
To fill the void left by Berglove, who is now serving as the Johnnies’ goaltending coach, SJU will turn to four student-athletes who have yet to play a minute of college hockey: junior Jaeger Reed (Crosslake, Minn.), sophomore Bailey Huber (Mahtomedi, Minn.) and freshmen Jon Howe (Chanhassen, Minn.) and Tom Kuriscak (Stillwater, Minn.).
Huber served as SJU’s third-string goaltender in 2021-22 after he appeared in 49 games over two seasons with the NA3HL’s Granite City Lumberjacks. He posted a 30-15-2 record with six shutouts, a 2.33 GAA, .920 save percentage and 1,295 saves.
Howe went 6-7-2 with a .900 save percentage and a 3.37 GAA in 17 games for the NAHL’s Jamestown Rebels in 2019-20. He appeared in three games for the NAHL’s Amarillo Wranglers to start the 2021-22 season, before returning to Jamestown for a 9-8-0 record, .906 save percentage and 3.03 GAA in 18 contests.
The Johnnies’ 2022-23 schedule has 10 home games at St. Cloud State's Herb Brooks National Hockey Center (HBNHC), including four on Thursday evening, as well as two additional neutral-site games: Dec. 10 vs. Lawrence (Wis.) in Rosemount and Jan. 14 vs. Wisconsin-Stevens Point in Sartell.
Five of the Johnnies' eight non-conference opponents hail from the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC), including two - Wisconsin-Eau Claire and Stevens Point - that met in the league's championship game in March.
SJU begins the 2022-23 schedule with three consecutive road games and seven of the first nine away from St. Cloud. The Johnnies' bus ventures to Wisconsin the first two weekends, Oct. 29 at Wisconsin-River Falls and Nov. 4-5 at Eau Claire and Northland, respectively.
The Johnnies host Concordia-Moorhead for the MIAC opener Nov. 10 and take on St. Scholastica Nov. 18-19 (home on Nov. 18) before a two-game road trip over Thanksgiving weekend (Nov. 25-26) at the Milwaukee School of Engineering. SJU faces Bethel Dec. 1-2 (home on Dec. 1) and ends the 2022 calendar year Dec. 9 against Concordia (Wis.) for Senior Night and the Dec. 10 trip to Rosemount.
The team opens the New Year Jan. 6-7 with a conference series against Gustavus Adolphus (home on Jan. 6) and plays its final non-conference games the following weekend by hosting Wisconsin-Stout Jan. 13 in St. Cloud and the neutral-site contest vs. UWSP in Sartell. Conference competition returns Jan. 19 with a home game vs. Hamline (Jan. 21 in St. Paul) and continues with the outdoor game Jan. 27 as part of Hockey Day Minnesota. SJU hosts the Auggies the following night at the HBNHC and wraps up its regular-season schedule against Saint Mary's (home on Feb. 2) and St. Olaf (home on Feb. 10).
The Johnnies own the conference's final bye weekend (Feb. 17-18) before the MIAC Playoffs, which begin with the quarterfinal game (No. 4 vs. No. 5) on Thursday, Feb. 23 at the high seed. The MIAC semifinals follow on Saturday, Feb. 25 and the MIAC championship game, with the conference's automatic berth to the NCAA Division III playoffs on the line, is set for Saturday, March 4. If the Johnnies were to host the championship, the game would be held on Wednesday, March 1, due to availability at the HBNHC.
Welcome to the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center and Saint John’s University hockey!
My name is Brian Bruess and, as of July 1, I am president of both College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University – the first time both of those titles have been held concurrently. In the short time that my wife Carol and I have been here, we have both certainly felt the engaging welcome of this community. The Benedictine hospitality lives up to its billing. Thank you to those who have reached out with greetings and well wishes.
I’m glad you’re here and hope you’re ready for some great competition. The young men out there in Johnnie red today have worked hard to excel in a game they love. That means hours of training, conditioning, preparing and traveling.
Just as impressive, they’re working hard in the classroom. These are student-athletes in the best sense of both those traditions – and they uphold the academic standards for which Saint Ben’s and Saint John’s are well known.
Beyond that, these are Johnnies. As such, each is a member of this Benedictine community we hold dear. Our students are engaged and involved with the causes and the initiatives that move them. In their four years here, they will discover their opportunities to develop as active, thoughtful citizens.
That’s a lot going on. So if things get tight toward the end today, don’t lose faith: Johnnies are obviously great at clock management.
So let’s get settled in and ready for the puck to drop. And as we cheer for today’s performances on the ice, let’s all commit to cheering a little louder in recognition of the performances we don’t see – in the classroom, in the lab and in service to their church or community.
Doug Schueller is in his 15th season as SJU’s head hockey coach in 2022-23. He became the 22nd head coach in school history on May 16, 2008.
He was named the 2019-20 MIAC Coach of the Year for the second time of his career (2012-13) after directing the Johnnies to a MIAC regular-season championship during the 2019-20 season.
SJU finished third in the MIAC with a 9-4-1 record (17-8-2 overall) and made its fourth consecutive appearance in the MIAC Playoffs.
The Johnnies went 8-2 over the final 10 conference games (6-0 on the road) to win their ninth MIAC regular-season championship with a 9-3-4 record (12-9-5 overall) in 201920. It was the third consecutive MIAC Playoff appearance, and seventh overall, for SJU under Schueller.
SJU went 4-1-2 over its final seven conference games to finish second in the MIAC for the second consecutive season with a 9-4-3 conference record (12-10-5 overall). SJU made its sixth trip to the MIAC Playoffs in the previous eight years and fell to Augsburg in the MIAC Championship game, 2-1 in four overtimes
The Johnnies finished second in the MIAC, one point from the regular-season championship, with an 11-5 conference record (16-8-2 overall). The 11 conference wins were the most since the 2005-06 season for SJU.
Schueller was a 2001 graduate of Bowling Green and a three-time captain for the Falcons. As a student-athlete at Bowling Green, the Inver Grove Heights, Minn. native played in 138 career games, recording 16 goals and 30 assists as a defenseman. Schueller was an assistant captain for the Falcons as a sophomore during the 1998-99 season and then wore the captain’s “C” in both the 1999-00 and 2000-01 seasons, with the Falcons advancing to the CCHA semifinals his senior year.
Schueller graduated from Bowling Green with a degree in sports management and finished his Falcon career with a 3.59 grade-point average. He went on to complete his Master’s degree (business administration in sports management) from the University of Coventry Business School (Coventry, England) in 2005.
Following his playing career, Schueller was an assistant coach with the Sioux Falls Stampede of the United States Hockey League (USHL). During the 2005-06 season, Schueller helped coach the Stampede to a 43-13-4 (.750) record and the Anderson Cup championship. Schueller worked primarily with the Stampede defense that finished first overall in the USHL and set a franchise record for fewest goals allowed in a season with 135. He also helped six defensemen secure NCAA Division I scholarships. Prior to his time with the Stampede, Schueller played three years in the American Hockey League (AHL) and the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL).
Prior to becoming the head coach at SJU, Schueller served as an assistant coach at NCAA Division I Bowling Green State University and was responsible for the Falcons’ defensemen and recruiting efforts.
Schueller and his wife, Carrie, reside in Sartell with their daughter, Aubree, and sons, Dawson and Luca.

Hanna had stunning career numbers for the Johnnies with a 1.77 goals-against average and a .927 save percentage posting a 51-135 career record. In addition to his prowess between the pipes, Hanna was a member of Saint John’s MIAC champion and nationally ranked golf team.
The Sid Watson Award is the American Hockey Coaches Association’s (AHCA) highest honor for a Division III male hockey player.
Named in honor of the longtime Bowdoin College coach and administrator, Sid Watson, who was a multi-sport star at Northeastern University and played in the National Football League from 1955 to 1958 before becoming athletic director and head ice hockey coach at Bowdoin. He won 326 games from 1959 to 1983 as head coach.
The honor was bestowed on Watson as a result of a vote of Division III men’s head coaches following the 2004 AHCA Convention.

“I have been trying to get involved with the Hockey Day Minnesota festivities for years and I am very excited that we will be part of the event this year,” said SJU head coach Doug Schueller, a graduate of White Bear Lake High School. “This will be a great event for not only SJU and Augsburg, but also to promote and bring awareness to MIAC hockey. We want to show the state of hockey that the MIAC and NCAA Division III hockey is entertaining and a great option for hockey fans around the state. I expect we will have a great atmosphere and it should be a very good hockey game.”
The game will be the first MIAC contest to be held as part of Hockey Day Minnesota since the event was established by the Minnesota Wild and Bally Sports North in 2007 and the second NCAA Division III game to be contested in the event’s history. St. Thomas tied Wisconsin-Stout 1-1 at Xcel Energy Center as part of the 2017 event.
The Johnnies are 44-39-2 against the Auggies since the 1986-87 season: 19-15-2 in St. Cloud, 19-22 in Minneapolis and 7-3 at a neutral site.
SJU is 7-9-1 in the last 17 meetings and the two teams have split their MIAC series each of the past three seasons.
The two teams will complete their MIAC series at 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 28 , at the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center in St. Cloud.
Site selection took the founding committee members and representatives of the MN Wild and Bally Sports North to four locations before landing on Polar Lakes Park in the spring of 2020. White Bear’s strong hockey tradition, history and passion dating back to 1912 served as inspiration to bring Hockey Day MN to the community. At last, the time has arrived.
Net proceeds will benefit the White Bear community and youth hockey.

Octavius Wilson Jr. has thrived at Saint John’s University.
Not only has the senior linebacker from Hill-Murray High School played a key role in the Johnnies’ defensive rotation, but he’s also served on the program’s leadership council and as a representative on the SJU Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
This past summer, he completed an internship in the financial department at Microsoft at the company’s corporate headquarters in Redmond, Washington.
But he said none of that would have been possible were it not for the assistance that scholarships provide.
“All of my tuition expenses rest with me, so scholarships were the main thing I had to consider when I was looking at school where I could continue my education,” said Wilson, an economics major who has received the Fran and Julia Ladner Family Endowed Scholarship, the Joyce and William Sexton Scholarship, the Joseph Friedrich Scholarship and a Dean’s Scholarship.
He’s also received Securian Foundation and Eddie Phillips Scholarships from the Minnesota Private College Council.
“Saint John’s was the top place when it came to offering the kind of scholarship package that made going here realistic and affordable for me,” he continued. “I’m really grateful for that because it helped make this opportunity possible.”
Wilson is not alone. In all, 98 percent of SJU students receive scholarships or financial aid. The SJU Student Fund helps make that happen by providing direct financial support to our students.
When you support the student fund, 100 percent of your gift goes directly toward student scholarships. Those who give receive recognition in the annual Honor Roll of Donors and a receipt stating their gift is tax deductible. They also gain the confidence of knowing their gift had a direct impact in allowing Wilson and so many others to experience all that SJU has to offer.

The flagship station of Johnnie athletics, The Bear, Minnesota’s sports station, has a large primary and secondary bandwidth that reaches the northern part of the state.
We have always focused on the technical aspects of our stations. The Bear signal covers almost 10 to 15 times the area of any other AM station which covers sports in the market. The Bear will allow Saint John’s athletics to reach listeners that never had an opportunity to hear the games live on the radio.
“We take pride in having The Bear being the voice of Saint John’s athletics,” said Gary Hoppe, operations manger of Tri-County Broadcasting. Tri-County Broadcasting of Sauk Rapids, Minn., is the official radio partner of Saint John’s Johnnie athletics.
