It was a packed Scandling Center at Hobart and William Smith Colleges Monday evening when the Hobart hockey team returned to campus after winning the national championship.

Hobart Coach Mark Taylor hopes the team will repeat one day with some company, looking towards the day when both Hobart and William Smith hockey teams win national championships.

The Statesmen beat Adrian 3-2 in the NCAA Division III Men’s Ice Hockey National Championship Sunday night. It is the first national title in program history for Hobart hockey.
