From irrelevance to excellence. In just a few short years, the Western Michigan Broncos went from a team meddling in the NCHC to becoming the best team in college hockey. On Saturday, in front of a partisan WMU crowd in St.
Louis, the Broncos beat the Boston University Terriers, 6-2, to claim the program’s first-ever NCAA national championship. The Broncos brought the same level of intensity and aggressiveness that made them the best team in the NCHC to St. Louis, and the Terriers struggled in stretches to match their energy.
Western Michigan got in front early, and were up by two at the halfway mark of the contest. Up by one heading into the third, Owen Michaels continued to have the tournament of his life, scoring his third goal of the weekend to give his team some insurance. A flukey goal from Iiro Hakkaraien and an empty-netter from Michaels sealed the victory.
Western Michigan finishes the year with a program-record 34 wins, tying the number of victories Quinnipiac had when they won it all two years ago. They were just the fourth team (since the inaugural national tournament in 1948) to win the national championship in their first trip to the Frozen Four.
