I’m deeply grateful to Lt. Governor Driscoll, Senator Cronin, and Representative Kushmerek for recognizing what this moment means to our student-athletes and our university community. I also extend my sincere thanks to Governor Maura Healey for her steadfast support of public higher education and athletics across the Commonwealth. This administration’s commitment to student success and community pride is felt throughout this celebration. This championship is more than a win on the ice—it’s a reflection of who we are and what we can achieve together.”
