<p>Just a note for the hockey fan in all of us. Union took it all in the Frozen Four with a classic 7 to 4 win over Minnesota on April 12, 2014 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. It is quite an accomplishment for a smallish school that boasts mostly Division 3 sports. Union did it with class -- no skating cheerleaders, no Dutchman mascot on ice -- just the garnet outplaying a much larger and better subsidized school. Congratulations. Happy hockey watching to the prospies and newly admitted.</p>
<p>YAY! I watched the game. It was great! Loved seeing a LAC underdog take the title! Very happy for Union and all its fans!</p>
<p>It was amazing. My daughter (Union '17) was so psyched by the win and the ensuing school spirit demonstrated. We were much impressed by the team’s work ethic, grit, poise and obvious strong sense of team (i.e., “no I in team”). First class all the way! </p>
<p>The Union threads are essentially dead (and I stopped visiting here after receiving my son’s FA offer), but yeah the hockey title was pretty awesome. Congrats to the team and school!</p>
<p>It’s most threads since CC changed format. Tough to reply if you don’t know that there are new posts. They don’t provide notifications to people that there are new posts in school forums. You have to go to the page and check yourself every time.</p>
<p>OH yeah! Congrats to Union - I used to go to Badger games since it’s closer to us here. </p>
<p>My son is going to Union in the fall! :)</p>
<p>ditto what midhelper said—really miss the yellow dot to tell me there is a new posting since I last checked in!!!</p>
<p>Union is coached by a former Providence Friar Rick Bennett, who replaced Nate Lehman, who went to Providence and revived the program there. Made it easier when Union eliminated my Friars in the Frozen Four tournament.</p>
“Really … ? No comments about the National Champ?”
A year late, but even a disinterested observer is impressed enough to post: Go Dutchmen!
