Re: All Things Denver XXXVI
Denver fans of a certain age will remember Andy Gambucci as a former player at CC and a college on ice offical. Today he was elected to the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame.

Re: All Things Denver XXXVI
He was hands down the best official of his day. Colorful, flamboyant and entertaining. His nephew Gary played for CC and old Andre didn't let the kid get away with squat. IMO, his election to the Hall is way overdue.

Question. Just bumped into one of UNB's assistant coaches (they got back to Fredericton last evening). He mentioned that he was surprised the "ice wasn't very good" at CC or DU. Is he right? Is that normal? Is is a high-altitude thing? Or just the time of year? I'm not trolling, just curious.

Hey guys, excited to trek out there for Mack-DU and the beerfest this weekend. Should be a good series. Any "must-do" bars, restaurants etc near the rink for pre and post game?

Re: All Things Denver XXXVI
Sure DU fans were on him. That was part of his schtick. Lots of gestures, arm waving, lip flapping. But he called a good game--consistent and the same on both ends of the ice.

"Colorado College hockey will honor the late Scott Winkler, a 2013 graduate and former player, who passed away this summer, with an on-ice ceremony prior to the home against Minnesota-Duluth on Saturday, Oct. 19."

Best of the West preseason poll

Re: All Things Denver XXXVI
Drew was on the lineup card last night as right wing. Was that a bad sign?

Re: All Things Denver XXXVI
He didn't dress in one game and was on the 4th line in the others. He can be sent down without going thru waivers. FL made a lot of late free agent signings of vets when new ownership took over. Most GMs and coaches like a veteran presence in the line-up. Drew will be back.

Looks like Garth still has friends in low places. http://www.denverpioneers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=18600&ATCLID=209280356 Great to see Jimmy supporting a really great cause but I hope he took Alan Jackson’s advice: Obey the law. If you drink, don’t drive, do the watermelon crawl.

Re: All Things Denver XXXVI
A little of all four? Bad ice is not exactly normal all the time, but the bad ice early and late in the season is common at AF, CC, and DU. Although the summer was not has hot as it has been in the past, the warm temperatures wreck havoc on the ice. With the high altitude is how solar it gets and warm even in autumn, you'll be freezing in the shade and sweating in the sun. One good thing with the altitude is the dryness. Until the NHL cracked down, even the Avalanche was known to have crappy ice during those times.
I one time had the opportunity to talk to the facility manager at the old barn in Tampa Bay and when he brought up the subject of ice, he said either you had to be lucky up north in the right climate or pay a huge amount of money.

Re: All Things Denver XXXVI
Places that are walkable to the arena are Crimson & Gold, Jordans, Spanky's and Renegade. The first three are more pre-game-ish types of places. Campus Lounge about a mile north on University is also a traditional DU hockey hangout--owned by a former DU hockey player. But I love Renegade--a small place with an awesome selection of beers, and really good pizzas. Can't go wrong there. Hope you have fun in Denver.
