Hockey Haven

On April 13, 2013, two teams

separated by less than eight

miles in southern Connecticut

played before a packed house

in Pittsburgh and a national TV

audience for college hockeys

national championship.

Quinnipiac and Yale, different in

so many ways, had one thing in

common other than geography:

Both proved doubters wrong,

topping traditional heavyweights

on their way to the title game.

The games result was perhaps

as surprising as the season itself:

Yale, a heavy underdog and one

of the last teams to get into the

NCAA tournament, routed topseeded

Quinnipiac 4-0.

Hockey Haven, written by New

Haven Register reporters Chip

Malafronte and Jim Shelton,

tells the inside story of how skill,

hard work and smart planning

brought the two teams to that

night in Pittsburgh.
