NCAA Hockey Tournament History

Boston University is the defending national champion, defeating Miami, 4-3, in overtime in last year's title. BU scored twice in the final minute of regulation to force overtime. It was the fifth title for the Terriers and first since 1995. Jack Parker is in his 37th season as BU's coach and is one of only three hockey coaches in NCAA history to win more than 800 games. Miami advanced to the final with a 4-1 win over Bemidji State and BU edged Vermont, 5-4, in the semifinals. BU is not likely to return to the NCAA tournament as it was only 14-13-3 through February 22. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/hockey/2009-04-11-boston-university-miami-ohio_N. htmsemifinals.
