Cornell Big Red will take on the Sacred Heart Pioneers in the NCAA USA on November 22.
Cornell Big Red will take on the Sacred Heart Pioneers in the NCAA USA on November 22. I recently got the opportunity to speak with Pierre-Luc O’Brien, who played the lead role for Sacred Heart from 2004 to 2008. O’Brien was a Hobey Baker finalist and a three-time all-star in Atlantic Hockey. He has the highest career point total at the institution (156). When asked about his fondest college hockey experience, O’Brien recalled the “Miracle at the MIC,” which took place on November 4, 2006, at the Mercyhurst Ice Center during a match between Mercyhurst and O’Brien’s Pioneers.
With around four minutes remaining and behind 4-0, Sacred Heart scored four goals in three minutes, three of which were scored by O’Brien. This forced overtime, where SHU scored the game-winning goal about three minutes in. A match between Sacred Heart and Mercyhurst on Friday at the MIC had memories of that event. Though not exactly a miracle, it is nonetheless amazing to see. Midway through the second session, Sacred Heart was behind 3-1 when it scored three times in 21 seconds to grab a 4-3 lead it would not give up, winning 6-3 in the end. C.J. Marottolo, the coach of the Pioneers, stated, “I don’t know how you describe it. “I don’t believe I’ve ever witnessed anything like it.
It was a remarkable achievement. At 10:03, rookie Marcus Joughlin got things started, then at 10:13, Dante Fantauzzi. At 10:24, Ryan Steele scored his second goal of the game, 11 seconds later. Marottolo said, “After falling behind by two, we were pushing hard to get that next goal and some momentum. “The bench was energized after the first one.
