Mike Zuke
Inducted
October 29, 1988
Mike Zuke was a wizard on the ice. If you are a non-believer,
just look at the fact that in four seasons (1972-76) he scored 310
points on 133 goals and 177 assists. Those totals place him by far
and away at the top of Michigan Tech's all-time charts in goals,
assists, and points and he is currently third all-time in NCAA
history in points scored.
Obviously his success on the ice brought him awards. Among his
honors are, two-time All-America selection (1974, 1976), WCHA
Freshman of the Year (1973), All-WCHA first team (1976), and WCHA
Most Valuable Player (1976).
Zuke was also a member of the Varsity Club and Blue Key National
Honor Society while attending MTU.
Following his graduation from Michigan Tech, Zuke went on to
play minor league hockey for a year before making it to the
National Hockey League. His professional career spanned eight
seasons during which time he played for the Edmonton Oilers, St.
Louis Blues, and Hartford Whalers.
Zuke has given his time making appearances for the United Way,
the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and the Y. M. C. A.
