Welcome Home Golden Knights! 2018 NCAA Hockey Champions!



(Upbeat music) [MAN]: They're just a fantastic group. They're just fun to be around. They make coming to the rink a whole lot of fun for us, the staff, each other. They care about each other.

And I think that's evident when they get on the ice and they play. You can tell that they're really a close-knit group. It just makes for a really
exciting brand of hockey. [WOMAN]: We worked so
hard for this all year long.

Everyone, all 23 girls, have put in so much work for this team. So, it's nice we were
rewarded this way. () Let's go Tech! Let's go Tech! (Music ends).
