As the WCHA Champion Michigan Tech was given the top western seed and opened the 1965 NCAA Tournament as the home team despite playing in the home building of their opponent , Brown . The Huskies did n't give the partisan crowd much to cheer about , scoring twice in the first while holding the Bears to 8 shots . Rick Best held Brown scoreless for the entire game , earning the first ever shutout in tournament history while Senior Fred Dart scored twice to send MTU to their fourth championship game . Despite the shutout , MacInnes continued his goaltender rotation and put future Hall of Famer Tony Esposito in net against ECAC Champion Boston College and , while Tony O kept BC off the scoresheet until late in the second , the Huskies as a whole were more than a match for the Eagles . Michigan Tech set a new championship record by scoring the first six goals of the game , a mark that has only been equaled one other time ( by Michigan Tech in 1975 ) as of 2018 . Five players combined for the six goals with only tournament MOP Gary Milroy scoring twice . BC 's first goal came on a 5-on-3 power play but the game was in hand by that point and the two teams played out the final period without too much fanfare as MTU won the National Championship
