Coach Gwozdecky begins his 13th season behind the bench for the seven-time NCAA National Champion Denver Pioneers. Since Gwozdecky's arrival on the DU campus in 1994, the Pioneers have solidified themselves as a perennial top-10 program. The Pioneers have captured two NCAA National Championships, three WCHA regular-season titles and two WCHA playoff titles during Gwozdecky's 12-year tenure.

The only coach in NCAA history to win a hockey national title as a player, assistant coach and head coach, Gwozdecky has compiled a 276-176-36 (.602) record with the Pioneers. Gwozdecky-coached teams have reached the NCAA Tournament (including the 1992-93 Miami team) in seven of the last 14 years, and he currently boasts a career 426-300-57 (.580) record in 20 seasons. Gwozdecky's coaching expertise led the Pioneers back to national prominence with back-to-back NCAA National Championships in 2004 and 2005.

Gwozdecky played wing for the University of Wisconsin's 1977 NCAA championship team, coached UW-River Falls to an NAIA title in 1983, and served as an assistant coach for Michigan State's 1986 team that won the NCAA crown.
