Re: All Things Denver XXIX
Big article today in the Denver Post by Irv Moss on one of DU's all time greats; defenseman Greg Woods. Check out the picture with his original home jersey with Denver Boone on the front.
As someone who I knew very well at DU, Greg was one of the most gifted offensive d-men in DU history. I still scratch my head as to why Greg didn't make the 1980 Olympic Team. I was at all of the training camps in Colorado Springs and he was one of the best d-men there. I know he is very proud of his career at DU including being part of the outstanding 1977/78 team which went 33-6-1 and was ranked #1 almost the whole year. The players on that team always wanted the chance to go to the NCAAs but the team was on probation by the NCAA and denied from going by the federal courts. DU was still ranked #1 by The Hockey News even after BU won the national title. Last summer when I saw Greg he pointed that out to me again. Nice article by Irv.

Beau Bennett's brother is coming to DU. Looks like a non-scholarship player....

Re: All Things Denver XXIX
I'm not so sure about the non-scholie part. Factor in Wrenn's departure & Van Voorhis' deferral and there is certainly scholie money available. You keep Beau Bennett around for an extra year or two and factor in Salazar & Nutini's strong play. With two goals in 8 games its certainly plausible that they gave him a scholie or at least a partial.
A few interesting tidbits: Despite what the article says, Wade is actually the older brother of Beau. He switched from forward to defense recently which explains why his hockey development was behind Beau's.
He also played for the Trail Smoke Eaters in the BCHL last season before switching to the NAHL. He had 3 goals and 25 assists.

Re: All Things Denver XXIX
That's too bad. And unexpected as he was listed on the depth chart on one of the Islander blogsthis morning.
Hope it won't keep him off the ice too long.

Nothing new on Rhett, I assume he is going to see a doctor today if he already hasn't. He stays on Long Island as the injury happened in the NHL.

In depth article from Inside Lacrosse on how the upcoming DU/Duke lacrosse game in Long Island was put together. Duke gave up a home date with DU to play this neutral site game. Tierney gives his insight in the following quote.

Re: All Things Denver XXIX
The Pioneers are probably going to be a little rusty for the first period or two tonight, due to the bye-week layoff and players integrating themselves back into the lineup after a month away from college game play (Zucker, Shore and Bennett if he plays). The key is going to be Brittain and the defense holding firm early and not getting into a hole.
