Things Got Heated in Hockey Between NC State and UNC

On Monday night, lining up perfectly with Rivalry Week, NC State’s club hockey team took down UNC 5-3, in what was a fiery contest to say the least.

Here’s a look how things got chippy between the two teams. A UNC player takes a shot at NC State’s goalie in the final seconds of the game, and things escalate from there.

What a dirty play. The hate is real. pic.twitter.com/uwAGFfuBeo

The dirty play by the Tar Heel player only affirmed the feelings that the Wolfpack goalie had for his rival before the game (He wrote GTHC on his stick).

North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper was on hand to hand the Governor’s Cup Trophy to NC State.

That warm and fuzzy feeling when your governor is a such a big hockey fan he comes to a club hockey game and delivers his trophy to the winners. Let’s do this again next year. #GovernorsCup #BackyardBrawl #CawlidgeHawkey pic.twitter.com/SMlqkGBcKr
