o.t. Congrats Yale for the NCAA Hockey Championship 2013 - giesing - 04-14-2013 05:46 AM It's good to see, that in a sports that does matter very much in certain regions of the US a team from a smaller conference won the title. Also congrats for all participating teams in the Frozen Four: Quinnipiac, UM Lowell and St. Cloud State. Hockey will a http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/more/news/20130413/yale-hockey-champions-quinnipiac-frozen-four.ap/?sct=hp_t2_a14&eref=sihplso undergo some kind of conference realignment coming next season. BTW: If they really want, the Ivies could be imhoa real east coast force in sports like football and basketball. RE: o.t. Congrats Yale for the NCAA Hockey Championship 2013 - UConn-SMU - 04-14-2013 10:50 AM Congrats to our old in-state rival, Yale. Yale walked away from the FB and BB series with UConn because the games weren't competitive. Maybe a hockey rivalry will be viable with UConn upgrading its program. It would be nice for the two schools to play each other in at least one sport. RE: o.t. Congrats Yale for the NCAA Hockey Championship 2013 - Poliicious - 04-14-2013 09:00 PM
Great to see programs that prize academics (Quinnipac & Yale) playing for a national title. Amazing that Yale won as Quinnipac had defeated them 3 times this year.

What's amazing for me is that from what I heard, the first three Quinnipiac/Yale matchups weren't even close. If I'm not mistaken, this Yale team now has the lowest winning percentage for a national champion. RE: o.t.

The ECAC fans denigrate the Q all the time in that department. Holy Cross almost got the Q's slot for that reason, otherwise the Q would have been stuck in the low scholarship conference Atlantic Hockey. RE: o.t.

Yale didn't do it the easy way either, with their NCAA wins over: Minnesota (tied for WCHA regular season champ) North Dakota (second after Michigan in all-time championships with 7) UMass-Lowell (Hockey East champion) Quinnipiac (Rated #1 for most of year, ECAC champion) Hockey teams that are heavily senior laden seem to do best in the playoffs. Since Ivy League schools rarely get the blue-chip talent (they are often gone after sophomore or junior years), hockey is a sport that an Ivy can do well in. Would be great for Penn to restore hockey. After all, Philadelphia is hosting the Frozen Four next year. |
