Preseason 9th in the CCHA. Zero draft picks. And yet we went toe to toe with the best team in the country for 57 minutes before they put us away.
We played our asses off. We just got beat by a really good team. If Boston College isn't on the other side of the bracket, there's a really good chance we're winning the whole thing, and that's unfathomable.
So congrats to BC, and for us, this might be once in a lifetime moment for our program. Let's enjoy this. Don't cry because it ended the way it did. Smile because it happened.
No regrets whatsoever, boys. Well done.

Absolutely. What a special year. It's been a heck of a ride.

This. Absolutely.
Right now this hurts, it hurts to know our boys played with everything they had and still came away with the loss. But in the end I don't think that that's what we'll remember. We'll remember how we were the runner up in the NCAA tournament and played at the same level as the best team in the country.

Congrats guys. I remember watching the pair of games you had against RPI at the beginning of the year and despite getting shut-out twice, making fun of your announcer's repeated saying of "Nationally Ranked RPI". I guess when we take the pair against you next year, it will be "National Runner-Up Ferris State." You guys did awesome and came so close.

This is a great post. My only arguement would be the "once in a lifetime" thing. Make it more than that. You guys belong! Congrats to all of you at Ferris State.

National Runner Up & what a gutsy performance..
well played and very impressed by your team.
the runner up trophy is still better than what everybody else did this year save for bc. You was playing with house money and letting it ride.

nmupiccdiva: I'm sorry I missed you this weekend! I thought I saw you at the football game, but I didn't want to go up to a complete stranger and ask "are you Monster?" and have it not be you!

Very proud of the bulldogs!!!! Had a better shot with czar in there for the third, hopefully he is alright it looked pretty nasty, but we fought hard.
York is my new favorite coach (next to Bob of course) !!! Giving a shout to the opposing team before your championship trophy interview. pretty classy!!!!

I'm an NMU Wildcats fan. In hockey, I'm not a Broncos, Huskies, Lakers, or Spartans fan and certainly not a Wolverines fan. But, second to the Wildcats, from now on, I'll be rooting for the Bulldogs.
Thanks for an exciting run during the NCAA Division I Men's Hockey Championship! Ferris State had much of West Michigan and beyond talking about college hockey and pulling for the team all the way.
You did the CCHA, GLIAC and the soon to be teams of the nWCHA proud. I hope Ferris hockey stays strong.
Remember, the 2013 West Regional is in Grand Rapids next year. Something to set your sights on.
Bill Crawford, LSSU radio announcer, on NMU hockey: "This is their MO right to the tee: get out shot, get out played, keep hangin' in there, just rope-a-dope it in your own zone, get it up the ice, bang it in and win the game."
