Philadelphia ? There was no red light, just Blackhawks flying over the boards in celebration.

Sticks and helmets were thrown, scattered all over the ice and still no signal for a goal.

After a brief review, there was no dispute — the Chicago Blackhawks were the Stanley Cup champions.

Patrick Kane sneaked the puck past Michael Leighton 4:10 into overtime and stunned Philadelphia to lift the Blackhawks to a 4-3 overtime win in Game 6 on Wednesday night for their first championship since 1961.

No one but the Blackhawks appeared to know what was going on for a few frozen moments. Kane and his linemates seemed the only players on the ice who knew the puck found the side of the net. The goal light never went on, but that didn’t stop most of the Blackhawks from storming the ice and mobbing each other in celebration.

Schools lose scholarships

Indianapolis — The NCAA’s big boys are beating up on the smaller schools in the classroom, too.

Only seven of the 137 teams sanctioned Wednesday for poor scores on the Academic Progress Rate come from BCS conferences. One squad, Portland State’s men’s basketball team, will be banned from next season’s NCAA Tournament.

Colorado and Syracuse were the only power-conference schools to make the list in the three highest-profile sports — football or men’s and women’s basketball. The men’s basketball teams at both schools and the Colorado football team all were sanctioned for falling short of the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate cutline of 925.
