“I rise today to commend the Michigan State University Spartans on winning the 2007 Men's National Collegiate Hockey Championship. On Saturday, April 7, 2007, the Michigan State University Men's Hockey Team won the 2007 Men's Hockey National Collegiate Athletic Association Championship by defeating Boston College by a score of 3 to 1. In a hard-fought game, and going into the final period with a one-goal deficit, the Spartans charged ahead to tie the game, and then triumphantly scored a game-winning goal with only 18.9 seconds remaining of play. This victory constituted MSU Hockey's third national championship, and the first since 1986. Each member of the MSU Hockey organization made essential contributions to the team's success. MSU Spartans' Head Coach Rick Comley has become only the third coach in college hockey history to win national titles at two institutions, and has earned over 700 career wins. A record crowd of over 19,000 people attended the Frozen Four Championship game in St. Louis, and the enthusiasm shown by the people of Michigan and the students of MSU demonstrate Michigan's strong support for the MSU Hockey organization.”
