Hope hockey claims ACHA Division 3 title with comeback for the ages

The Hope College men's hockey team stunned top-ranked Air Force to claim the American Collegiate Hockey Association Division 3 championship.

Hope scored five goals in the third period to earn the 6-3 comeback title on Saturday night in St. Louis.

It is the fourth ACHA Division 3 title and will be the final one as the team is moving up to ACHA Division 1 next year.

Hope previously won national titles in 2022, 2021 and 2018, and finished the season with a 35-4-1 record.

It just took one goal in the third period to get things going.
