I absolutely LOVE how hard he celly’d that goal. I usually only watch NHL hockey but next year I’m tuning into the frozen four, this energy is unmatched!

Wow what a finish. As a Quinnipiac alumni I can’t be more proud of what this group did, and what Pecknold has done since he took the program to D1 back in 99. He’s had the program knocking on the door since that first championship game back in 2013 vs Yale (which we should have won) so it’s very sweet to finally get it done - especially in a sudden death OT winner. Go Bobcats!!

as someone who didn't start following college hockey until the 2015-16 season I'm curious why you say they should have beat Yale, didn't they lose 3-0? I know shot count does not tell the whole story but I looked and it was pretty even. Regardless- Congrats on finally breaking through.

What a heck of a month for Connecticut collegiate sports. First the Connectuct Huskies in division 1 basketball, and now the Quinnipiac Bobcats(Hamden CT) win the Frozen 4 division I title. Connecticut proud.

I'm s huge Minnesota hockey fan. I have to tell you, that Quinnippiac coach is a brilliant, brilliant coach. Reminds me of Herbie Brookes, total genius. Quinnippiac deserved that win. It was an epic win. I'm devastated. But reality is reality. Great job, great effort. I tip my hat.

Congratulations Quinnipiac! 🏒🏆

played novice hockey with Jake Quillan way back in 07, such a good guy.

Amazing game and amazing finish!!!

How quick was that ending for the 2023 NCAA Division 1 Hockey Championship? 10 seconds. The Quinnipiac Bobcats win their 1st national championship in program history. An emotional ending indeed.

The gophers iced the puck and played dump and chase. The coach saw they were tiring a good opportunity to put in a set play wich they said they practiced hundreds of times. Outplayed and outcoached well deserved win by the better team.

Quinnipiac Bobcats! That's who! Yesssssss! Woooohoooo! Whatta way to win their first NCAA hockey 🏒🥅 championship. Incredible! Now that's why they call it SUDDEN DEATH!...JP

“We got a Natty!” We sure do. We used to have to drive to Boston if we wanted to watch some quality college hockey, or maybe wait for a good team to come play Yale every other year. Now little old QU, or shall I say the QC Braves, they are the champions of college hockey. I just wish my gramps, who took me to all those games and ended up working at QU’s new barn, was here to witness it all.

Let’s go QU! With this school being in my home state, my uncle graduated from here. I was happy that they won. However, I am more of a sports fan with UConn and Yale. Also Sacred Herat as that is my dream school. Hopefully UConn wins eventually! But for now, even though it is the new season, it’s your time to shine Quinnipiac.

Tell the Minnesota player to keep his stick on the ice. That was about as blatant as it gets for a high sticking penalty, and was by no means a questionable call. Would’ve been more rigged if the officials didn’t call it. The correct answer to your question is: an official who calls a fair game. I don’t care if it’s 5 minutes into a game or 57 minutes. A penalty is a penalty period.
