Who knew we were going to be up to our neck in championship teams over the weekend?

You know all about the Archbishop Carroll boys and girls teams, as well as the Penn Wood boys.

But in all that excitement you might have missed the fact that we have an NCAA champion right here in our midst. And no, we’re not jumping the gun and anointing the Villanova Wildcats as they seek an NCAA men’s basketball title.

We refer instead to the Neumann College men’s ice hockey team.

When no one was looking, these guys decided to pull off their own version of “Miracle on Ice.”

No, they did not beat the Russians as the U.S. Olympians did in 1980 in Lake Placid. But what they accomplished was no less of a long shot.

The kids from the small school in Aston went up against the big dogs in college hockey last weekend in the very same town where almost 30 years ago a bunch of scruffy U.S. kids shocked the hockey universe.

Neumann’s Knights decided to pattern themselves after that U.S. Olympic team. It’s the stuff of movies. Only this time the miracle was real.

Neumann topped Gustavus Adolphus 4-1 to capture the NCAA Division II ice hockey crown. They won nine straight games to end the season, finishing with a 21-9-2 mark.

Yesterday they were welcomed home on the Aston campus and delivered their championship trophy to school President Dr. Rosalie Mirenda.

“The whole experience was unbelievable,” said Dominic Dawes, who coached Neumann to a national title in his first year behind the bench.

You might even call it a miracle.
