The Quinnipiac men's hockey team is in the championship game, looking to win their first national title in program history. Despite only having three NHL draft picks on the roster, they believe in their strong culture and brotherhood that has been built since head coach Rand Pecknold took over the program in 1994. The culture has been cultivated over the past 29 years and has been significant in the team's success, with high-character and high hockey IQ players leading them against teams with 18 draft picks.

Pecknold credits the class of 2006 for changing the program's culture and making them into one of the premier programs in college hockey. Quinnipiac has been to two Frozen Fours in 2013 and 2016 but fell short of the ultimate prize. However, this year, they believe that their culture and mentality will push them to victory against the nation's top team, Minnesota, in the championship game.

Despite being underdogs, Quinnipiac is ready to rely on their strong bond and culture to surprise the nation and bring home their first national title.
