Bear in mind that it was written by someone from Boston University....but it's got an awesome video!

I was at #1, 6, 7, 8 and 9.

Useless trivia: #6 moment with BC beating North Dakota in 2001 was a rematch of 2000 when the Sioux beat the Eagles.

All in all a pretty good list, although of the ones I've been to, personally I thought the 2002 final when Minnesota beat Maine 4-3 in OT was a better game than the Michigan State/BC one they have listed at #8.

AWESOME!! BGFan and I were in that ice arena crowd when the team came back to BG!! We then went up to Mark's with the team and a ton of other people!!! We stayed until they closed the place and then I had to get up and teach in Findlay the next morning, but it was worth the lack of sleep!! Couldn't make it to the game itself, but the celebration at home afterwards was a memory I'll never forget!!! GOD I LOVE BG HOCKEY!!!! :-D

GO TIGERS!!
GO EAGLES!!

What a great video. I was in Cincinnati that weekend and totally missed the game. In fact, I didn't even know we had won until I got home Sunday afternoon. It sure brings back lots of memories though.

I was there with a group of guys and we stopped in Montreal and stayed with the late Eves Pelland the night before, and headed down to Lake Placid for the games. I have always said that it was the most enjoyable sporting weekend in my life, so I am looking for a way to beat it!! GREAT VIDEO! :D

7, and 2.
It was great to be at the games, it was best when the team came to our rink, awesome reception, awesome. The University really needs to bring back the Brown, to with the Orange.
ford field may have an attendance record for the NCAA, but I sure hope it doesn't set a standard, the ice looked soft and slow at the game last night, my thought is simple, this is supposed the best hokey of the year, why take anything to chance. I hope they dont this again.

Yep I was there and the atmosphere was flat. This tournament needs to be in regular arenas and it will be the next few years. What was with the lines on the ice? DId the TV folks explain this???

I agree...flat atmosphere, sound went nowhere. Only noise you heard was the RIT fans (who were awesome) who had a lot of organized cheers. Other than them, you hardly heard anything specific. The sound system drove me nuts. It was SOOOO freaking loud. We figured it was turned up for sound in the entire open space (which was massive), and not for the endzone! We were up in the third level seats and the lines on the ice looked like lines you see in a yard that was freshly mowed!!! And the ice in front of the net looked like crap. EVERY time there was a stop in play people were out shoveling off the ice in each zone and constantly fixing spots on the ice, mostly along the edges!!

HOCKEY SHOULD NOT BE PLAYED ON A FOOTBALL FIELD! PERIOD!!!

Lets just hope they never do this again.
but then again, it may be the P>C thing to do in the bright minds of the NCAA.
