Matt Carle played three seasons at the University of Denver and left a legacy as one of the greatest defensemen to ever play for the Pioneers. Last season he won the prestigious Hobey Baker Award as college hockey's most outstanding player. Last night he returned to show an appreciative Magness Arena crowd the hardware.

During the first intermission, the Pioneers paid tribute to Carle, who last season became the first player in DU hockey history to win the Hobey Baker Award. Carle received a standing ovation from DU's 38th consecutive regular-season sellout crowd.

"It was great to be back to share the award with the tremendous DU fans," Carle said. "I have great memories of DU and I want to thank the University and the San Jose Sharks for allowing me to take part in the ceremony."
