Hockey Research Project Assistance, MindTrekker Alumni, and More

Hi,

1920s Team Photo Curly-Kolehmainen(1927-MCM) MTU Engineers Crested JerseyI am hoping my fellow alumni can help me with a research project.  I am trying to determine if the two attached jersey styles were worn by the Michigan Tech varsity hockey program and if so, during what year(s).

The black and white images of the hockey sweaters with “HUSKIES” and the husky head and the front are likely from the varsity team.  My best guess is the late 1920s as one photo found online was noted as “Curly Kolehmain 1927-MCM”.  Any other images of this jersey style out there in someone’s scrapbook?  Anyone have even a partially colored image of one of these jerseys?

The jersey with the castle on the front does say “Michigan Tech” however the jersey crest looks like the Army Corps of Engineers logo.  So maybe this is something related to MTU ROTC rather than varsity hockey.  The image of this jersey was taken at Dee Stadium so maybe there are more details shown below the jersey, but unfortunately they were cropped out of the image.

Any info others can provide about these two sweaters would be appreciated.

Hi Sarah. Great news! Wonder about the headline. How can more Huskies attend when you have to be first attending to be a Husky? It’s good to know more people want to attend Tech. They’ll get a great education. I’m a parent of a very successful Tech grad. Keep on doing a great job, Sarah.
