Last year the team went up to UW-Superior for a first round playoff series and the Blugolds defeated the Yellowjackets in what was considered an upset. That was one memory he recalled.
The other one: "Playing in front of the fans at Hobbs, that was fun," Petersen said.
Petersen has certainly earned the respect of other coaches and teams around the league as well. He earned first team All-NCHA honors three years in a row. He also tied for fourth on the team in scoring this season. He finished with five goals and 13 assists for a total of 18 points.
Loen said Petersen did not experience any major changes in his time at Eau Claire.
"I don't think there was really any and that's what's nice, we know what we can expect from him," Loen said. "He was a high-level player in his three years here, he was consistent, I think that's the biggest point. We knew what we were going to get from Greg."
Overall, Petersen had a positive experience at Eau Claire with school and also with the hockey team.
"Everything was pretty loose, that's one of the best parts about playing hockey is just hanging out in the locker room with the guys," Petersen said. "It was good, it was a good experience, it was a fun time, it's probably something I'll remember 20 years down the road."
