As for me, personally 1977 ECAC semifinal vs BU.
And my son's current coach played in that game for BU. So how can I tell him that he ruined my senior year?
For the whole of college hockey: Travis Roy a few feet further from the boards, as mentioned earlier. No brainer.
For my beloved Dartmouth Big Green: The November '04 game against Princeton where Hugh Jessiman injured his ankle on a freak play. It's sad to see Hugh's name tossed around as a punchline the way it was in New York, and I think if he'd gotten through that season in reasonable health, that wouldn't be the case. Equally important, that should have been the best team of the Gaudet era, with five future NHL players (Lewis, Jones, Glass, Stempniak, Lovejoy) on one team, along with Jessiman (who SHOULD be the sixth), Nick Johnson, J.T. Wyman and Mike Ouellette. That team should have gone to the tournament, and if it had, we wouldn't still be wondering if Dartmouth will ever get over the hump.
Coincidentally, Jessiman might very well be involved in Glen Sather's one do-over as GM of the Rangers, and as an alienated Rangers fan, hiring Glen Sather might be one of my other do-overs too.

The end of the 2002 season, DU, #1 seed, was 32-7-1 and "got" to play at Yost against Michigan in the NCAA regional. Gwozdecky was up for the Penrose. Frozen Four here we come. OOOPs the away team, Michigan won the game.
Do over--not have to play Michigan at yost, play in a different region. Or Win the game.
For Bemidji State, I could go two ways with this and mean the same thing:
I'd take back the flukiest injury I've ever seen in this game (BSU's top player, current Columbus Bluejacket, Andrew Murray, accidently gets bumped (not hard even) headding back to the bench and breaks his collar bone - he's done for the season, BSU's first D-I NCAA birth)
For my other team, Northern Michigan - I'd go with their loss to BC (2-1) back in the NCAA Regionals in 1999. I go with that because it reamains the only NCAA appearance since I've followed the 'Cats, and for a while it looked like NMU had BC on the ropes. Also, I was set to board a bus if NMU won and watch the next game (vs. NoDak) for the right to play in the Frozen Four. Also, it looked like NMU was on the rise, and they have struggled to get back to the NCAA's. Had they won that game, maybe the program gets a boost from it...
Makes sense that a Tech fan must relive heartache thorugh others considering they're never in position to win anything.
Ummm....
yes?
Just so we never forget.

That is what you get for beating the Gophers in the Final Five Title game

Of course I'm a fan of the Vikings. A sick and demented Masochist of a fan, but a fan none the less.

Plus, I'm pretty sure tDarkness regrets not being at that game and wants to be able to go back and see it live so he can make fun of Frazee.
Winner
Just so we never forget.

Ah, Randy Skarda. Probably still hears that OT 'clank' every night he goes to sleep. And Harvard didn't quite score on the next rush, but slightly later, When Harvard's Ed Krayer snuck a backhander off the faceoff under Robb Stauber at the 4:13 mark.
I was there that night as well, and of all the college hockey games I've ever seen, that one ranks as most dramatic from start to finish.
Speaking of my one do over, it would be 1986, when Denver lost to Harvard at the Frozen Four.
This would be my do over as well. However, Harvard still wins against Denver, but does not lose Hobey Baker winner Scott Fusco in the process.
With Fusco in the line-up, you have to think Harvard upends Michigan State and wrestles home the 1986 NCAA title (a game they had a nice lead in, but ran out of legs late...)
