No they didn't.
Frozen Four teams last year were Denver, ND, Harvard and Minn-Duluth. Denver won title.

RIT went to the Frozen Four in 2010. I believe they are the only Atlantic Hockey team to make it.

You are correct - last year Harvard edged them 3-2 in the regional final - but clearly this team represented the league very well getting that close

Air Force is a 4 seed.
Interesting situation this year- as many ECAC schools made the tournament as Hockey East. Princeton got a bid. If someone told me they didn't have a program any more, I might have believed that person.

AFA Falcons get it done - 2 late empty-net goals and a 4-1 win. Comparable to our win over Minnesota 2nd consecutive year that they get to the 'elite eight'
No.1 seed in Bridgeport regional, Notre Dame needed ot to beat no.4 Michigan Tech, 4-3.

ok, maybe not to many of us but it is a fact that AFA was seeded 16th in the fleld and St. Cloud was no.1 Falcons play no.3 seed Minn-Duluth (ot winners over Minn St - Mankato) at 9 tonight on espn 2 - a very realistic chance to get to the frozen four

comparable..........not really. The only reason it isn’t comparable is Atlantic Hockey today is much closer in caliber than back in Holy Cross upset days!
