DU's 2022 Recruiting Class Taking Shape

(above) DU Alum and current AHL head coach Kevin Dineen poses with son Declan

The University of Denver scored a major recruiting coup last Friday when Declan Dineen, a speedy right winger, said that DU was a front runner for his services in 2022.

Declan's dad, Kevin Dineen, played for DU, the Canadian Olympic team and scored 760 points in a 19-year NHL career. Dineen is currently the coach of the AHL's Portland Pirates.

I had to look up a "Gordie."

"A “Gordie Howe Hat Trick” is when one player scores a goal, gets an assist, and gets into a fight – all within one game. This term is appropriate since Gordie was known for both his playing and fighting abilities."

Sounds like we could have used William against North Dakota last weekend.
