In Colorado Springs, where the Tigers are the big hockey show (some would say the only show in town) in this growing community of a half-million (losers), the media have discovered rookie goalie (& DU reject) Richard Bachman. Owens went as far as to limit media access to his top goalie this week, giving the youngster a break from the relentless (relentless???) interview requests so he could concentrate on school and the hockey tasks ahead.

Ironically, it’s the fact that Bachman plays nothing like a rookie that has made him so successful thus far (7-1-0 start and the .947 save percentage).

“Richard is an older freshman, but he’s still getting exposed to the league for the first time,” said Owens. “You watch him play and he looks like a veteran goalie. He’s very composed and he gives confidence to everyone else with the way he slows things down.”
