That Elusive Prize

In case you missed it, the WCHA posteason tournament winner receives the Broadmoor Trophy. As in the massive hotel/resort in southwest Colorado Springs, as in the place the Tigers played for 55 years. The trophy has existed only since the 80s but the Tigers (the team it was basically named after) have never won the thing. The Tigers have won 6 regular season titles in that time (including 3 in a row) tied with ND for the most in that period, but not the post-season title. Maybe this season will break the curse and the Tigers can get both, plus that elusive 3rd national championship trophy. Milo Bryant has a great article about the Broadmoor Trophy and I found it, not at the Gayzette site, but on the DU blog. I guess being the special team this season has it's perks huh?
