The Huskies represented Michigan Technological University and were coached by Joe Shawhan, in his 4th season.

Because the NCAA had previously announced that all winter sports athletes would retain whatever eligibility they possessed through at least the following year, none of Michigan Tech's players would lose a season of play.

As sophomore netminder Blake Pietila was establishing himself as the team's starter, the Huskies were able to play a majority of their games without interruptions from COVID-19.

When they did play good teams, the Huskies were able to compete on defense but the scoring was reduced to a paltry amount.

As a result of their failures against good teams, the Huskies had only a slim chance to make the NCAA Tournament without a WCHA championship.
