per Fox Sports:
It was the goal heard round the world, a viral sensation before "going viral" was a thing.
It won an ESPY, as well as "Play of the Year" awards in multiple countries.
Michigan's Mike Legg scored the goal of the decade on March, 24, 1996 in an NCAA Tournament matchup between the Wolverines and the University of Minnesota, a goal so famous that it is often simply referred to as "The Michigan."
With the Wolverines trailing, Legg pulled up behind the net, but with four Gophers milling around down low he took matters into his own hands, lifting the puck off of the ice on the blade of his stick and throwing it into the top corner of the net to tie the game.
