The championship game became a rematch of the previous year 's finale with Tech looking for revenge against Minnesota . Interestingly enough , both Minnesota and Michigan Tech had entered the NCAA tournament as the first teams in 14 years to record 30 wins and with each having won their semifinal meetings both shared the record for the most wins in a season . That record , however , was secondary to the game itself . The two teams played before a crowd of nearly 7,000 people , far below the maximum capacity of the St. Louis Arena but much more than they were used to seeing . Michigan Tech scored first , just past the halfway mark of the opening frame and added a second from Zuke with 64 seconds remaining . Tech 's defense held the Gophers to only 7 shots in the period and continued their stifling play throughout the game . The Huskies themselves were held to only 5 shots on goal in the second but they made them count , doubling their lead to 4 – 0 after forty minutes . The final period saw more of the same with the Huskies tying their own championship record with six consecutive goals from the start of the game . Minnesota 's Tom Younghans finally got the puck past Jim Warden mid way through the final period but by then it was too late and Michigan Tech won their third national championship as well as set a new NCAA record with 32 wins on the year . With his almost shutout of the Gophers , Jim Warden was named as the tournament MOP and was joined on the All-Tournament Team by Bob Lorimer , Bob D'Alvise and Steve Jensen . D'Alvise finished third in the nation in scoring and was named to the AHCA All-American West Team . He also made an appearance on the All-WCHA First Team with Warden while Lorimer and Mike Zuke made the WCHA Second Team . The following year Warden would be the starting goaltender for the US national team at the Winter Olympics , joined by fellow Michigan Tech alums Steve Jensen and Paul Jensen
