Is it just me or is this 2009 class looking better and better all the time? Can't wait to see Colborne et al this season, but next year's class sounds promising as well.
Twister, you are abolutely correct. 2009 is coming together nicely. Two things are critical to the Pio's success...(1) Chevy lives up to the coaching staff expectations (2) We don't lose any key players to the NHL or the minors.
DU won two National Championships with exceptional Senior classes. That seems to be what has been missing lately due to NHL defections.
