Read Full Article HEREMike Hoeffel, the leading goal-scorer on the Gophers' hockey team, was diagnosed with mononucleosis on Monday. The junior left winger is expected to be out at least two to three weeks.
Hoeffel scored his 11th goal of the season on Saturday in Minnesota's 5-1 victory over North Dakota. He is also tied for the team lead in points with 18.
"He was having some mild symptoms last week," said Cathy Hoeffel, his mother, "but he thought they would go away, that he could push through this."
Hoeffel has been the best Gopher forward for most of the season and is playing closer to his potential. It's a tough time for the Gophers to lose him as they were just starting to play better hockey.
