I was there. Did you get to turn the light on for the winning goal?

Yes, but by that point I was hoping the game wouldn't end. Nearly 100 minutes of pure intensity from both teams. Norwich was the better team, but the St. Norbert goaltender was the best player on the ice.

BJ O'Brien? I think he's the goalie coach at Augsburg now. My favorite student section cheer from my time at SNC involves his first name.

I agree he was the MVP, I can't remember how many shots Norwich put on him, he was everywhere! I also can't imagine the teams going another 20 minutes, both sides were exhausted due to the intensity and length of play.

I have to say the St. Norbert fans were great and super friendly. I don't believe there was an ounce of "hate" in the arena, just a lot of respect for two talented teams playing their hearts out.
 
I believe BJ O’Brien had 72 saves in the 2010 National Championship.

O’Brien got his NC ring a year later in 2011.

And the best student chant is “when in doubt, enroll at Stout!”

The 2010 tournament in Lake Placid between Norwich and St. Norbert was one of the most exciting finals I have ever seen. Two top teams, great skills, lots of action and 2 over times. I cant say the semis leading up to the finals was as exciting because I dont remember.

The Oswego/St. Norbert game was back and forth decided on a goal with under a minute to play. The Platty/Norwich game was also a one goal game. As a matter of fact nobody lead by more than a goal all weekend. It was the best Final Four I have personally been to.

Thanks for refreshing my memory, I guess I was so excited to win that I lost track of who we played in the semis. Ironic too, I grew up in Plattsburgh and followed the team before I moved to Central Vermont. It was only 13 years ago, I better take my brain supplements!
