The University of Alberta Golden Bears return to action following a bye week as the defending CIS University Cup champions visit three NCAA teams in three days. Alberta will open its trip south of the border against the University of Denver Pioneers on Saturday, and then play the United States Air Force Academy Falcons on Sunday before concluding the trip on Monday, October 6th at Colorado College.Alberta has opened the season with three victories over Canadian universities while only losing a 3-2 exhibition decision to the Edmonton Oiler rookies last Monday night.
Eric Thurston's Golden Bear squad, finished the game against the Oilers rookies with a 37-26 shot advantage and held the lions' share of power-play time, getting six man-advantages to the Oiler's one but couldn't notch the go-ahead goal.

Can't wait to see Colborne and the rest of the 08-09 edition of the Pios in action on Saturday.
Alberta should be a very good test. They are not coming down to Colorado to go sightseeing. They will play hard just as Calgary did last year. Anyone that remembers the crushing hit that Rakshani took last year in the exhibition game knows that these Canadian schools show up and play hard.
