This is very special for our program and our school.

Quickie just lifted the Cup.

When teamed with what Victor accomplished, who woulda thunk it?

Someone I am friends with on FB brought this up, has there ever been a school with alums that have won a Stanley Cup and a Super Bowl in the same year? I think not.

I'll get excited when Jon or one of the interviewers actually mentions UMass.

Way to go, Quick!! I got chills when I heard his name announced by Bettman as the Conn Smythe winner. Hope you all saw this on UMassAthletics.com:

What's awesome about that is that regardless who had won the Super Bowl (Pats or Giants), we'd still have that banner today!

I agree, but it isn't like it is completely unknown that he went here. They've used footage of him from them in various intermission segments and such. It's still out there, just a bit sad that he isn't more "open" about it.

I believe it was NBC announcer Mike Emerick that stated something along the lines of "from UMass-Amherst to the Stanley Cup" right as the game ended, so there was a shout-out there. Shame about the hyphen part, but still a nice mention at a perfect moment even if Jon didn't say it himself.

That's the mention I referred to in my post at the top of this page.

I was unaware of Quick not being "open" about being a UMass guy. Is it coincidental or is something else going on?

I just think he has other priorities. I've heard that Quick, while maintaining ties with UMass, is not particularly close to the program. Maybe he considers UMass nothing more than a two-year stopover in his professional development, but that's OK. Julius Erving maintained some ties with Jack Leaman but otherwise he has never been particularly close to the basketball program, either.
