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.
