June 2003

Team Ohio Alumni, Mike Rupp  scored, what turned out to be the game winning goal, at 2:22 of the second period helping his team the New Jersey Devils win professional sport's most coveted trophy the Stanley Cup.

He also assisted on the other two goals scored by the Devils. Rupp became only the fourth player in NHL history to score 3 points in the seventh and deciding  game of the Stanley Cup finals.
