 And despite the loss, the Beavers are still WCHA regular season champs. Today they celebrated their first ever WCHA title with their fans. The team hosted a meet and greet for the fans to view and take pictures with them and the McNaughton Cup earlier this afternoon. It's all about history and this is another part of history for Bemidji State and I'm really proud of the guys for bringing this to Bemidji. Anytime you could add any piece to a legacy is awesome. That means it's just growing and we're just setting a blueprint up for the future Beavers. Winning's hard and winning regular season championship is very difficult. You have to have a lot of things going right for you. You have to be a pretty good team but you have to be lucky, you have to be healthy, you have to have good goal-tending special teams. You have to have things really work for you and for whatever reason this year things really went our way and you know but I think it's also a testament to our guys so when you win something like this you don't know when you're going to win the next one. So you better enjoy it and you better show it off and you better let the people enjoy it as well. The community has given me a lot from a place to play hockey and a place to grow up. So you know as you can see the sport we have tonight it's pretty cool to be able to give back in a way with you know a championship of this caliber.
