Union's 23-4 year olds were just too much for the Minnesota freshmen.

When I went there, the college had put the program on self-suspension because the kids being admitted to playing there (on the D1 level) were well below the academic standard. They then downgraded to DIII. Obviously that has since changed, and the school is now part of the ECAC (mostly Ivy League schools).

When Minnesota beat their rival North Dakota in the semis with .6 left on the clock, the kids in Minnesota rioted. I'm really curious how many Schenectady townies even follow hockey, let alone riot. As for the kids on campus, this is the first national championship for the school of any sort.... and the school was founded in 1795. I don't think they even know how to react... except drink alot.
