In addition to training and coaching strength and conditioning and giving [tidbits] on health and fitness, another thing I do at TEEM is distribute commentary on certain athletic and human movement issues. I write this [excerpt] with the handle that my alma mater and former organization that I played and coached in, Penn State, will join the Division I ranks in the fall of 2012. Behold that PSU and the rest of the nation will be chasing Boston College.

The Men's Ice Hockey National Championship over the past five years:
2008 - Boston College
2009 - Boston University
2010 - Boston College
2011 - Minnesota (Duluth)
2012 - Boston College
There have been other times when teams have showed dominance in one sport, but Boston College has shown a different type of dominance. For one, they could have won a three-peat from 2010 to 2012. Since they challenge BU every year, being in the same league in Hockey East, arguably the most talented league in college hockey, they could have dreams about what it would have felt like to 5-peat.
But, 'could-haves' are pointless. This college team is legit.
Preparation and position seem to be two of the reasons why BC succeeds so very well. They are always prepared and an off night is rare. If this teams starts off slowly in the beginning of the season, they do find a way to turn it up a notch around the halfway point just as other teams may be fading in the rankings or having illegitimate winning streaks, Boston College quietly sneaks up to the top of the rankings.
Purpose and Development,
