When the NEPSAC boys playoff hockey brackets were released, all the attention was on the Elite 8, as it always is. It makes sense. It's the best eight teams in prep. It's the most exciting tournament. It's the biggest to win.

It only made sense that it was the closest championship game, with Kent winning, 3-2, after senior Gio DiGiulian (South Burlington, Vt.) netted the winner with 47 seconds left.
