When time resumed its normal course, the red light flashed, the sizable contingent of UNH fans went nuts, and the Wildcats mobbed their captain and each other. A few minutes later, after Tourney MVP Greg Moffat frustrated a few desperate, last-minute Big Green attempts to send the game into overtime, the icemen from Durham, N.H., had grabbed a hard-fought contest, 3-2. It was their first ECAC Division One championship in ten tries at post-season play...
