Appert & Blasi Talk On Radio About Their DU Days

Former DU assistants Seth Appert & Enrico Blasi had a conversation on Fox Radio AM 980 in the Albany area today. Appert now coaches RPI and Blasi is the head banana at #2 ranked Miami, Ohio.

They had some funny stories about being roommates in Denver, their low pay at DU and talking Coach Gwozdecky into changing the Pioneers style of play in the 1999 WCHA Championship game against North Dakota (DU won 4-3). Its a good listen.

RPI Assistant Coach Shawn Kurulak played at DU from 1996-99 and was the captain of the team that won the WCHA Final Five in 1999.

Great stuff, they are two of my favorite DU assistants in the Gwoz era and both learned a lot under him. Also Steve Miller does not get enough recognition from us but he is unebelievable at recruiting. Everyone gives Gwoz all of the accolades for the recruiting classes but Steve is the one who scours the the U.S. and Canada for the future players and gives his recommendations to Gwoz. He has been Gwoz's right hand man for a long time.

I agree about Steve Miller -- he has been and will continue to be a huge asset to the Pioneer Hockey Program.

Now for those morons who were ripping him prior to the start of the season...
