Don Scott, of the Lebanon Daily News caught up with Pat Flannery between periods of a Hershey Bears (AHL) hockey game recently and filed this report:

"People talk about the Kansas game that got us national attention, but the win we got over Holy Cross was the kind that sets a program. I know we beat Pitt and St. Joe's, but stopping the Holy Cross 16-game win streak was real toughness on the part of our kids.

"The bad thing about the whole situation is it was just a magical season for us, and now everywhere I go people say they know we can get to the Sweet 16 next year. I say let's just enjoy this one for a while."

Flannery won a D-III national title at Lebanon Valley before taking the head coaching job at his alma mater, Bucknell. He told Scott he is happy where he is at and has no interest in moving on to bigger or theoretically better things
