CC Senior forward Brett Sterling has had a great career for Colorado College. As he wraps up his Senior season there is even rumbling from Colorado Springs that he deserves the Hobey Baker award given anually to the best player in college hockey. He has 95 career goals and 66 assists. The fact that Colorado College collects Hobey Baker awards like DU wins National Championships is besides the point.
Over the past four years Colorado College and Denver have played some of their most important games in the history of the 50 year rivalry. NCAA bids, MacNaughton Trophies, Broadmoor Trophies and two National Championships have been on the line. Since these games have been so important, the we compared Sterling & Kings offensive production against each other.
