It is GAME DAY
FYI, the 1968 and 1969 NCAA Championship teams are in town and will be honored and announced after the 1st period of tonight's game.
Sadly, I'm going to miss that recognition for two of our great national championship teams (although I was there when they won those titles). I'll be AWOL tonight, watching my 6'4", 280 pound all state great nephew push people around in a game against their biggest rival.
So good luck to the Pios tonight. A tip of the hat to our great championship teams. And I'll join you tomorrow night.
Has that 280 pounder learned to skate yet? He could just stand in front of the goal and dare people to get near! We could call him the Pio Pounder.
Seriously, is he being recruited to play D-1 football?
INJURY REPORT...
• Freshman Emil Romig is serving an NCAA suspension for playing
in professional games overseas - he is eligible to return on Nov. 8 at
Colorado College.

DU left Brad Hawkinson off of the list who is reportedly done for the season and will have shoulder surgery.
With a 25-man roster, DU will have 20 eligible players tonight including 3 goalies and 17 skaters.
Is Larraza back this weekend?

Nice to see Ogard get some ice time, this early in the season. Wasn't expecting that from Monty. Nice move. So #3, from the club team....is he "up" for good, now that Hawk is out for the year? Or is he just here until they get some injured guys back?
Hoosier after the 7th man discussion or as jay calls it Rudy for DU. I couldn't see any club hockey player coming up before Tuilini. The 3rd goalie tends to be the call up by the coach. Hope and Rosenholtz were not playing hockey. Club rugby for Hope I think. Zach Blom probably had a leg up as a walk on due to Dad, Buddy's connection. He had been playing in the NAHL prior to coming to DU.
If Chambers is correct and and Monty wants to bring on another player at Christmas, he would have to be a current student, Rudy II, admitted to DU for winter quarter and going through the NCAA clearinghouse process.
Larraza may be back next weekend, but can't see bringing him back tonight.
Stastny, who scored his 16th and 17th goals of the season, posted his fourth multi-goal game of the season and the game-winner (his first since Dec. 3) that was a redirection of a Ulanski shot that beat UND goalie Jordan Parise after it deflected off Stastny's butt.
