Move over Brett Hull, Keith “Huffer” Christiansen and Bill Watson. You’ll soon have some company.<\/p>\n
On Oct. 30, Minnesota-Duluth will officially retire Glenn “Chico” Resch’s No. 1 jersey during a first intermission ceremony at AMSOIL Arena, making the UMD Athletic Hall of Fame charter member the fourth Bulldog male in any sport to be so recognized. <\/p>\n
Resch will join Brett Hull, Keith “Huffer” Christiansen and Bill Watson in that exclusive club.<\/p>\n
“We congratulate ‘Chico’ on this prestigious and well-deserved honor,” said UMD athletic director Josh Berlo in a news release. “Not only did he enjoy prosperous playing career both here and in the National Hockey League, but he’s always been an outstanding ambassador for UMD and Bulldog hockey.”<\/p>\n
“The world for me changed during my time at UMD,” added Resch. “It was a launching point for me – both personally and professionally. I met my wife (Diane) there and everything I was able to accomplish after that in hockey and in broadcasting I owe to those four years.”<\/p>\n
A three-year fixture in goal for the Bulldogs, Resch was selected to the All-WCHA Second Team as a senior team captain in 1970-71. He exited the Bulldog program ranking among the top three leaders in virtually every career and single-season statistical category for UMD goaltenders.<\/p>\n
Resch went on to spend 14 years in the NHL with the New York Islanders (1973-81), Colorado Rockies (1981-82), New Jersey Devils (1982-86) and Philadelphia Flyers (1986) before retiring in 1986 at the age of 37.<\/p>\n
He was also one of 12 individuals inducted into the UMD Athletic Hall of Fame’s inaugural class in 1991.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
