Editor's Note: DJ Powers of Hockey's Future was in California last week covering the Snoopy Senior World Hockey Tournament. For the second straight year she agreed to write a series of articles for LetsGoDU about the DU Pioneers, an alumni team made up of former DU players from the Murray Armstrong era. We can't thank DJ enough for her outstanding coverage of the event.The Tournament was founded by Peanuts creator Charles Schultz in 1975 and brings together hockey players between the ages of 40-75.

If it hasn’t been said already, it could be said here. “Old college hockey players never die. They just end up playing in the Snoopy’s Senior World Hockey Tournament.”
With teams spanning across North America, it is not surprising to see so many former collegians at this tournament each year. The University of Denver and the University of Michigan are the two teams that have brought along their respective programs’ names to the tournament, along with many of their former players. Many more college hockey programs have also been represented in the tournament over the years.
In this year’s tournament, among the schools represented by their former players include (aside from Denver and Michigan) the following:
Colorado College
Cornell University
Michigan State University
University of Minnesota
University of Minnesota-Duluth
University of North Dakota
Northeastern University
Princeton University
University of Wisconsin
