14. Everblades Championship Game: Cornell 4, Ohio State 3

The Everblades has gone from being a geographical oddity at holiday tournament time to being a real showcase of excellent hockey. This year's matchup featured three teams that made the national tournament â€" Ohio State, Maine, and Notre Dame â€" but the only non-tournament team in the field won it. Given that the trophy is named after Cornell coaching legend Ned Harkness, it was particularly satisfying for the Big Red to win it after a championship game loss and two horrific last-place showings in the tournament's first three years.

The game itself was an entertaining see-saw battle with Ohio State taking the 1-0 lead, then Cornell leading 2-1, followed by the Buckeyes tying it. Cornell went up 3-2 then surrendered a third-period goal to send it overtime, as the Buckeyes showed pluck in playing hard without key player Dave Steckel. The ending featured a nice twist: Cornell's senior Greg Hornby â€" who suffered a terrible shoulder injury playing the Buckeyes in the championship game as a freshman â€" won this one in overtime.

Unfortunately, there's a slight factual error: the game against OSU the first year was in the first round, not the championship game.

No.  First round saw Dave McKee post an amazing shutout against Notre Dame.
