New individual player plages are now available at WCHA.com

MADISON, Wis. – The Western Collegiate Hockey Association is pleased to announce the launch of unique individual member team player pages at the league's all-new official web site - WCHA.com. The WCHA teamed up with SportDesigns.com last summer to begin the transformation of the league's home on the web, which was unveiled at the start of the 2010-11 campaign.

The individual player pages feature biographical information, photos and statistics of each student-athlete playing in the WCHA. The men's player pages were launched this week in conjunction with the 2011 NCAA Men's Frozen Four, being held April 7-9 at Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul, Minn. North Dakota and Minnesota Duluth are representing the WCHA against CCHA-members Michigan and Notre Dame. Individual player pages for the women's league will also be unveiled soon.

"This is another exciting advancement for the Association as our all-new WCHA.com continues to evolve," said Commissioner Bruce M. McLeod. "These player pages provide another great resource of information to the media and public and will also give each of our member team student-athletes their own unique page at WCHA.com. Combined with the launch earlier this season of the mobile WCHA.com platform, the mobile league and national scoreboards with live scores and statistics, and an all-new on-line store at TheWCHAShop.com, the all-new WCHA.com has been a tremendous boost for us."

To visit the individual player pages, go to WCHA.com, then click on the listings for 'WCHA Team Pages'. From there, go to the respective team roster and then click on each player's name within that roster.

Player names on roster pages and all statistic pages now link to individual stat pages and player names in game stories, box scores and future press releases also link to the player pages.
