Fans Celebrate NCAA Hockey Champs' Return To Duluth
DULUTH, Minn. (AP) -- The NCAA hockey champions are celebrating back home in Duluth.
Fans gathered at the University of Minnesota Duluth campus gym Tuesday night to get a glimpse of the Bulldogs who captured their second consecutive men's Division 1 hockey title with a 3-0 win over the University of Massachusetts Saturday.
Minnesota Public Radio News says 11-year-old Soren Hanhan came decked out in a Bulldogs jersey. He says it's "pretty cool" to have a team that won back-to-back championships. UMD captain Parker Mackay and his teammates signed jerseys and greeted fans. Mackay was named Frozen Four Most Outstanding Player.
UMD has built a powerhouse program in recent years, with four national title game appearances and three titles in the past decade -- more than any other college program.
