Fitchburg State University’s Men’s Hockey Team was honored by [Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll](https://www.mass.gov/orgs/governor-maura-healey-and-lt-governor-kim-driscoll), [State Senator John Cronin](https://malegislature.gov/Legislators/Profile/JJC0) (D - Fitchburg), and [State Representative Michael Kushmerek](https://malegislature.gov/Legislators/Profile/MPK1) (D - Fitchburg) at the Massachusetts State House on Friday, May 2 after their historic season resulted in a [Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC) championship](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/go-falcons-2025-mascac-championship).
The team was received by Lieutenant Governor Driscoll Friday afternoon, before receiving individual recognitions from Cronin and Kushmerek.
“This championship season is a testament to the heart, grit, and excellence that define Fitchburg State,” said President Donna Hodge. “Our men’s hockey team showed what’s possible when talent meets determination—and their achievement has inspired not just our campus, but our entire region. 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.”
