MH: The Road to Nationals Pt. 1 | |
Boy oh Boy, It feels good to be the CSCHL Champs. But don't think the Cyclones will be resting on their laurels. There is a bit of unfinished business left to take care of. If you think this team will settle for the Easton Cup, the CSCHL's end of season award, you're dead wrong.
There is another cup that the Cyclones have their sights set on. That is none other than the Dr. Alan Murdoch Cup awarded to the ACHA's Division 1 National Champion. The team is confident that the Cup named after our very own Coach Murdoch is coming home for the first time since 1992.
The Cyclones have been part of the Final Four 12 times, runner up six times, and only the champs once. So now is the time to make a change.
Coming off of the biggest weekend the Cyclones have had since 2002, there is a lot of confidence and that championship attitude. The Cyclones beat 3 teams that will be at this year's national tournament.
#9 Kent State fell to the Clones 8-2, #2 Ohio were beaten both on the score board and physically on Saturday losing 4-3, and finally #3 Illinois (who was #1 almost the entire season) were dominated 5-3 in the title game.
This is the first installment of the build up to the National Tournament. Tomorrow we will talk with Trent Baker about being the MVP of the CSCHL Tournament and being considered the X factor when it comes to winning the big one. We'll have a chat with Coach Murdoch about his 1992 team. We'll also catch up with Allen Raushel, Mike Murtaugh, Brent Cornelius, and Jayson Peterson. So stay tuned, we got a lot coming your way this week.
