With an extraordinary year and major accomplishments, both teams were viciously anxious for this year’s national championships. The D1’s first game was against North Texas. It was obvious that the knights came to play with an impressive 10-1 victory. The B team’s first match up was against powerhouse UMSL, and they unfortunately had a close loss. The D1 squad faced Regional Champion Colorado State in the first round. Realizing it was do or die, the Knights came out on fire and was victorious with a 10-4 final. The D1 team made a strong run and ended up making the sweet 16. The B team finished the tournament with a back to back final four appearance. They will be looking to make a 3 peat next year with yet another final four appearance, and the help of a strong incoming freshman class.

After a snowy weekend in Atlanta, it was time to forget about the past and look to the future. The regular season is history and it all comes down to the biggest tournament of the year, The NCRHA National Championships. The playoff beards started, treadmills brought out of storage, and the jocks and socks stay unwashed!! Even with such a massive tournament coming up, everyone still needs to have a little fun. First off the entire team participated in the UCF Relay for Life.Lastly, with an entire season of everyone bonding on and around the rink, it was finally time to do some quality team building off the rink as well. Paintball was the majority vote, and after an amazing night it is understandable why.
