Special to LetsGoDU
By DJ Powers

The Denver Pioneers are expected to field a complete team at this year’s Snoopy’s Senior World Hockey Tournament that is already underway in Santa Rosa, CA. Last year, the Pioneers captured the Silver Medal in the 60A “Marcie” Division with a depleted lineup. They will be looking to capture their division’s gold medal when they make their first tournament appearance of the year on Thursday evening against the Reno Aces.

Below is the expected roster for this year’s tournament. 10 of the 15 players on the announced squad are University of Denver alumni. At press time, the goaltending information was not available, and it is not presently known if Ron Grahame (DU 1969-73) will be participating with the team this year.

The notable returnees to the DU lineup after last year’s absence are Jim Wiste, Wayne Wiste and John MacMillan. The three players were unavailable for last year’s tournament due to injury or prior commitments.
