Steve Ulseth
Class of 2021
Men's Hockey: 1977-81

Steve Ulseth had one of the greatest seasons in Gopher Hockey history as a senior. He recorded 93 points which still ranks third all-time for season scoring at the U of M. He was named the 1981 WCHA Player of the Year, a First Team All-American and was a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award.

He was part of some of the great teams in program history. The 1978-79 team won the NCAA Championship and the WCHA Playoff title. The 1979-80 team won the WCHA Playoff title again and the 1980-81 club swept the WCHA titles and advanced to the Frozen Four.

After tallying 23 points as a freshman and 26 as a sophomore, Ulseth made a huge leap as a junior, scoring 27 goals and adding 33 assists for 60 points. The Roseville, Minn., native was voted as a team captain for his senior season and finished his career with 202 points (84 goals, 118 assists) which ranked second at the time behind John Mayasich.
