The University of Alberta Golden Bears win the CIS national men's hockey championship
By Brian Swane,Edmonton Sun

For twelve months, the memory motivated them.
Whenever their bodies ached, whenever they felt the strains of fatigue, the Alberta Golden Bears simply had to think back to a pain far greater — coming up short at last season’s University Cup — and how they never wanted to experience something like that again.
One year later, they’re back on top of the Canadian University hockey mountain.
Alberta defeated the hometown Saskatchewan Huskies 3-1 in Saskatoon on Sunday to win their 14th CIS men’s hockey championship and erase the disappointment of 2013 that drove them to success in 2014.
“It was a long time coming,” said Golden Bears coach Ian Herbers, who was in his first year behind the bench when Alberta lost to Waterloo at last season’s University Cup.
“The guys worked so hard all year, going back to their off-season training last summer. There’s so much leadership in our locke-room. The focus and determination of our player was phenomenal.”
Levko Koper scored twice and Jordan Hickmott added a goal for Alberta, who broke open a scoreless tie after one period to take a 2-1 lead heading into the third. Koper scored the game-winner short-handed at 15:19 of the middle stanza.
“I’m not going to lie — on the winning goal, I kind of closed my eyes and hoped it (went) in,” said the junior forward. “It’s an amazing feeling. There are no words to describe how we feel right now.”
Kurtis Mucha stopped 20 Huskies shots as Alberta won its first national championship since 2008 and fourth of the last decade.
Alberta clinched a spot in the University Cup by virtue of their 51st Canada West championship, and reached Sunday’s gold medal final by defeating Carleton 3-2 on Thursday and McGill 3-2 in overtime on Saturday.
“We’re a hard-working team — that’s Bears hockey,” said Herbers. “This weekend we were very aggressive on the forecheck and on the penalty-kill. We were able to play three very solid games and that’s what you need to win this championship.”
