Tiring practices, program hardships push UB men's ice hockey to first-ever NCHA Championship

Last week may have been the best week in UB Athletics history.

Of course the men and women’s basketball teams won Mid-American Conference titles and made NCAA Tournament appearances. Three members of the wrestling team went to New York City to participate in the NCAA Championships, sure. Senior swimmer Megan Burns made her national tournament and track and field alumnus Jon Jones was on display on the world circuit for shot-put as well.

We all know.

But many Bulls fans may not know that another Buffalo team claimed a championship last week.

The men’s ice hockey team defeated Penn State 4-2 this past Sunday to win its first-ever National Collegiate Hockey Association Championship.
