Report of DU Hockey Media Day by Joe Paisley of the Colorado Springs Gazette.
According to Mike Chambers, Brad Hawkinson injured his shoulder in "Captains" practice and may be a medical redshirt this year.
How can you have Captains practice without a Captain?
To Be Named
Montgomery, who has never been an NCAA head coach but does have extensive pro and junior experience, doesn't plan to name captains until after the fourth game of the season. That's when the Pioneers return from the two-game Alaska Gold Rush tournament in Alaska, Fairbanks. He has had limited practice time with his team, which opens Oct. 11 to begin a two-game series against visiting Merrimack.
The top candidates for captain and assistant captains are senior David Makowski and juniors Joey LaLeggia, Josiah Didier, Daniel Doremus, Ty Loney and Matt Tabrum.
Freshman forward Brad Hawkinson of Aurora suffered a shoulder injury in a recent player's practice and might be lost for the season, Montgomery said. He will be redshirted if surgery is required.
I missed the on-line stream of Media Day (work got in the way). Was it recorded...is there a link somewhere?
Western College Hockey blog ranking Hockey East recruits.
Former Pio commit Ray Pigozzi top recruit for UMass and wanna-be Pio Mike Szmatula tops Northeastern's class.
Ranked #7 and #6 respectively as top freshman forwards in HE.
BTW, "the Butcher" will face "the Pig"on Dec. 17 in Amherst.

Hard go this week in practice. I broke my clavicle but should be back playing in 6-8 weeks. Thank you everyone for the kind thoughts #Pios
DU is down to 12 available forwards. Freshman forward Brad Hawkinson injured his shoulder in captain's practice last week and freshman Emil Romig will serve an NCAA-imposed eight-game suspension to begin the season for playing in a European professional league.
This per Twitter from Viva. That is two injured players and DU hasn't even started full practices. Also Emil Romig is suspended 8 games by NCAA for playing in a Euro league.

Guessing that since the school year has already started you couldn't enroll anyone until winter quarter.According to NCAA rules, If Brad red shirts, now, before the season begins, can they replace him? Sure your next question is with who?, but just wondering in general.
