Same performance against Espana today. While the lower groups aren't nearly as good as a US College team, hopefully his 30 goals in 8 games is a sign of good things!

Seems like it would have been worthy of a slight mention that Mr Kurth's sons are continuing contributors to Pio hockey...

Re: All Things Denver XXXVIII: On To Better Days!
MaCaffrey must be pretty good to put up those numbers. Still, I have not read that he is a high profile recruit, at least as compared to Reid and Bomberry. So many star players on attack and at middie. Players will have to sacrifice individual stats for team wins. We can put out 7-9 players who can score 30-40 goals. Some kids will leave the program due to lack of playing time. Quint's last words to Tierney as he left the broadcast booth Saturday night: Coach, good chance you will be my pre-season #1.

I'm sure you guys read that former Pio ladies golf coach Sammie Chergo accepted the head ladies job at Oregon State. Great hire for OSU, for she is big time. When she left DU, we lost one of the program's great coaches. She loved being around Gwoz and Tierney.

A lot better than the $660,000 qualifying offer. And Joe is happy. Congrats, Joe.

Please indulge an old man's pride: My great nephew has just accepted an appointment to the Air Force Academy. This all came about very suddenly. He took an official recruiting visit to the Springs this past weekend. Their offensive coordinator spent an hour on the phone with his mom Saturday morning. He's a high character kid with a 3.9 gpa. He's also 6'4" 285. A two time all stater in AZ with his senior year to go, and can bench 365. Stanford had been his number one choice. But the AFA guys must have really sold him. He looked up what a newly commissioned Second Lieutenant makes and concluded it's a pretty good entry level salary and benefits package, combined with a guaranteed job.
I just wish he could skate. I've fantasized about him delivering life altering checks in the slot. "Ladies and gentlemen, there will be this brief time out while the medical examiner collects the remains." I'll tell him about Frank, of course, but he's never been on skates in his life.
Anyway, back to the relevant stuff.

An interesting factor in his decision: he is only 2 credits shy of graduation and had planned to spend his senior year taking two classes, working his job and playing football. But the Stanford position coach made a big deal about how he should take AP courses (probably a help to them in working out a player's class schedule). But this is what the kid wanted to do. Had planned on doing. And to some extent, it soured him on Stanford. Now Stanford is a wonderful school. But the AFA ain't exactly chopped liver. Plus, there's all that extra stuff you have to go through at an academy. He's a winner. And takes after his great uncle in no way at all.

Re: All Things Denver XXXVIII: On To Better Days!
Congrats to the young man. You have to be far more than a premier athlete to get in to the Academy. Having Stanford as your "safety" school, not bad at all.
Re: All Things Denver XXXVIII: On To Better Days!
I hadn't thought of it that way. It seems like maybe Stanford sh*t in their own chili with this young man. Although what drives a kid to a service academy may not always be visible. May not even be something he's aware of. The folks at the Academy obviously found it last week.
