Good for them. What do they have to show for it?
Plenty. This team joined the ECAC in 2005. Division II until 1998. Played in equivalent of Atlantic before 2004. As someone who grew up in the area and went to Calvin Murphy baseketball camp there 35 years ago, when the facilities reminded me of a large high school, the college has really come a long way in prominence. Built a great hockey/hoops facility, and has found national success on the ice with players that are not top notch recruits, or have the amount of recruits drafted by the NHL in the same numbers as some other schools. Like BC, whom QU beat to make it to the final game. If that's not something to be proud of, or something to feel good about, or is not some sort of accomplishment, that doesn't say much about BC.
I'm not a QU alum, just a season ticket holder that got in at a good time a few years ago. Great place to bring my family to games. Selling out the arena past few seasons. 20 minutes from my house. Less than $10 a ticket.
I get it - no trophy yet for QU, BC has many. Good for them - they are a great program and York is a wonderful coach. As an alum of the law school, I root for BC in hockey (not hoops or football, though). QU fans can't play the "count the rings" game yet, but they don't give off the faint odor of Yankee fans post ALCS 2004 either.
