Congratulations to Testwuide. He should continue the tradition of oustanding captains for DU hockey.
Seriously, it took DU 60 years to finally have a Colorado native captain their team?
What does that say about the state of Colorado hockey.
What's your point?? Colorado is not like MN, Wisc, or Michigan. It's not a hockey hotbed. Hockey is a growing/fledgling sport in this state.
DU is starting to reap the rewards sown by the Avalanche's arrival in Colorado. Fulgham, Dingle, Ruegsegger & Testwuide are the first generation product of the "NHL Effect" in Colorado.
