60 Seconds of Strength: Bulldog hockey dominance<\/p>\n
Since 2000, the UMD Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s hockey teams have combined for eight national championships. <\/p>\n
The women won back-to-back-to-back titles in 2001, 2002, and 2003, then added two more in 2008 and 2010, all under head coach Shannon Miller. Their 2010 championship was one of the longest NCAA Tournament games ever played, going into three overtimes before the Bulldogs eventually sunk Cornell.<\/p>\n
\u201cI told them tonight in the locker room they\u2019re the most special team I\u2019ve ever coached, and I\u2019ve coached at world championships, I\u2019ve coached at the Olympics, we had won four national championships before this and there\u2019s no question that they are the most special group that I\u2019ve ever coached,\u201d said Miller following her fifth title.<\/p>\n
The 2010\u2019s were a dominant stretch for the men\u2019s team. 2011 was the program\u2019s first-ever championship, then in 2018 and 2019 they won back-to-back titles to close out the decade. Many diehard Bulldog fans were at all three and every Frozen Four appearance in between.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been going to every NCAA Frozen Four since 2011 when the Bulldogs won at the Xcel Energy Center. I was there last year when they won their second national title at the Xcel Energy Center. Of course, we were out here in Buffalo to watch them win their third, so I got my championship hat from last year, and of course this year\u2019s championship hat,\u201d said one fan at the 2019 championship game in Buffalo, New York.<\/p>\n
