The original Gold Pan, the trophy DU and CC compete for every season, has been missing for almost three years, but the second edition of the prize is expected to be unveiled this weekend.

Gwozdecky and CC coach Scott Owens have been trading e-mails regarding the newly crafted trophy.

"I've seen pictures of it, digital photos that CC has sent me and that the company that made it sent to CC," Gwozdecky said. "It looks great. I can't say yes definitely (that it will be unveiled), but from every indication, that's the case."

The Pioneers have won the trophy the past three seasons. Because the Gold Pan has to be won outright in order to switch teams, CC's sweep of DU earlier this year means the Tigers need one win or one tie to win it back for the first time since the 2002-03 season.
