Atlantic Hockey Showdown: Championship Game

Past Atlantic Conference Champions (Credit Wikipedia)

Semifinal Results: 

 #1 Canisius Vs. #4 RMU
The RMU Colonials used a three goal third period and a hat-trick from Junior Forward Brady Ferguson to beat the #1 overall seed Canisius 6-2 on Friday night. Look for Ferguson to play a deciding roll in the Championship game.

 #2 Air Force Vs. #3 Army
Air Force rode a shutout performance from Sophomore Goaltender Shane Starett (29 saves) to beat Army 1-0 and punch their ticket to the championship game. Junior Forward Ben Kucera scored the game winner at the midpoint of the second period. Starett will need to have a great game in order for Air Force to be able to keep with RMU's high powered offense.

Championship Game: #2 Air Force Vs. #4 RMU 

 Season Series:
These two teams split their two game regular season series when Air Force visited RMU, with Air Force winning the first game 6-2 but losing 2-1 on the very next night.

 Championship History: 
RMU has the most recent Atlantic Conference championship between the two teams (2014), but their singular championship is outmatched by Air Force's 5 (2007-2009 and 2011 2012). even if Air Force loses this game they will still have a chance at an at large bid to the NCAA tournament as they have been nationally ranked a few times over the season.

Where to Get Tickets: 
Tickets can be purchased at the Blue Cross Arena box office or online here

All of this started to change when they drafted future NHL superstar Connor McDavid first overall in the 2012 OHL Priority Selection Draft. This pickup of one of the greatest young players of this decade along with other players beginning to step up allowed for the Otters to jump into serious playoff contention, as they made it to the Conference Finals each of the last three years. Credit Erie Highlight Reel Unfortunately each of the last three years the Otters have failed to win the OHL championship and qualify for a shot at the coveted Memorial cup, but this year just might be their chance. After management took a look at all of the aging star power on their team that will soon be gone, most of whom will be gone at the end of the season, the...
