The 1990-91 Suffolk ice hockey team opened the eyes and captured the hearts of everyone with a season for the record books. The Rams compiled an overall record of 22-5, the most wins in Suffolk hockey history, and became a finalist in the ECAC Division III North Tournament, losing to Fitchburg State College, 10-8, in the championship game.

Suffolk was the most explosive team in ECAC play during that super season with 175 goals scored. The Rams were so offensive-minded that center Brian Horan, a nation’s best 104 points, and forwards Brian Gruning, 59 points, and Sean O’Driscoll, 53 points, were the top three scorers in the division.

One of the highlights of the season was Suffolk capturing the Chowder Cup Tournament title, defeating Bentley College and Tufts University. The Rams were a fun, exciting and talented team throughout the year, providing their fans with plenty to cheer about.

Bill Burns, Jr. in his first year as head coach at Suffolk, was assisted by his brother, the late Larry Burns. They were credited with instilling renewed spirit into the hockey program.
