It may have come up one game short of its ultimate destination - the NCAA Frozen Four - but the University of Minnesota Duluth nevertheless had plenty of reasons celebrate in 2008-09. Most notably, the Bulldogs opened the 2009 post-season with six straight wins and captured the WCHA Final Five title in historic fashion before bowing out to Miami University 2-1 in the West Regional finals.
When Scott Sandelin accepted his first collegiate head coaching job with the University of Minnesota Duluth shortly after the new millennium, he had already earned a reputation as one of the profession's more promising up-and-comers. It didn't take long for him to live up to that billing in his new surroundings.
