National Championship

I know this is very off topic in some respects, but as mentioned before I am a Union College alum. When I first attended there 8 years ago, they were the worst team in at that time one of the weaker Division 1 hockey conferences, and SJU was a bottom feeder under Norm. At that time I did not think I would ever see a National Championship from either team. In fact, I thought an SJU one was more likely in my lifetime. However, my small school, with no athletic scholarships, just knocked off two hockey powers in BC and Minnesota to win its first National Championship. So I guess guys, maybe dreams will come true for us one day. Or at the very least I have one National Championship.

If we play Minnesota in the preseason NIT, the Johnies gear is being sidelines for some Union hockey stuff.

Thanks a lot for using up your one dream come true in a lifetime on Union hockey. Now SJU is guaranteed not to win one in your lifetime! Not that I wish any harm to come to you or anything! :) :) :) :) :)

Bama is right. Maybe you should go root for duke and ruin their program

Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you, if you're young at heart--

If my dreams actually came to fruition that would be the case. I have already seen Yankees Giants and Union, so I only have two of my teams left (SJU and the Islanders). Trust me I am still dreaming for SJU! I think I would be even happier for an SJU championship since they might be my favorite team of all my teams, but there is something about your own school winning something and sharing it was so many close friends.

Yes, two very hard teams two be a die hard for. Those are probably my two favorites also, because hockey is my favorite sport, played my whole life. At least I have seen a few teams win though. Maybe St. John's is next, but that MAY take a while.
 
Congrats I know an alum from around your time that was talking about the victory on Facebook.

Go dig up some old tapes of the Islanders circa 1980-83 when they won 4 straight Cups and ruled the hockey Universe. It may sate you for the time being. :)

Congrats. I watched the Final and did I hear that Union has no scholarship players and only one player drafted by the NHL? And MN of course has a ton of scholarships and something like 12 were drafted? David beats Goliath, part deux.

The arena was packed and the place was rocking. Congrats again.
 
Yup Schenectady. I was at the final game, insane experience. For a school of 2200 students we had about 50% of Wells Fargo full and everyone not rooting for Minnesota was on out bandwagon. Place was very loud. For those of you not familiar with college hockey, it is a great atmosphere and great emotion. Frozen Four is a awesome event I recommend it to any hockey fan.

Yes no scholarships, just need based aid and academic. I was a D3 athlete and they get treated exactly like us. In fact professors are not too lenient. They are truly student athletes. Never see them miss class except when they are out of town, never get extended deadlines etc. Really a program built on big character kids who were overlooked because of size of their junior hockey program who buy into a system and those that dont usually transfer.
