Career
Seger was a three-year player for the Huskies under head coach
Second Team and was selected as an All-American. The last goal he scored for the Huskies tied the game in the WCHA championship and began a 4-goal barrage in the third period.[2]
After graduating, Seger continued his playing career, spending the next four seasons playing in the USHL (then a senior league), but his playing career was cut short when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Seger eventually succumbed to the disease in March 1968 but he was not forgotten by Michigan Tech.[3] The program confers the Elov Seger Memorial Award to the player who has shown the greatest improvement.[4] Seger was also inducted into the Michigan Tech Athletic Hall of Fame in 1998.[5]
