News & Notes From Around Pioneer Nation

DU Hockey helps FSN Rocky Mountain Win a Regional Emmy Award: FSN Rocky Mountain won five Heartland Regional Emmy Awards Saturday night at the annual awards ceremony held at the Infinity Parks Events Center in Glendale. One of the Emmys was for technical achievement for its robotic camera during University of Denver hockey telecasts, set design, and for having the top Sports Editor in Joe Niebauer.


Former Red Wings Hockey Player Loses $43 Million in Ponzi Scheme:
Russian hockey player Sergei Fedorov filed a lawsuit in Michigan claiming Joseph Zada filched on a March agreement to pay him $60 million to compensate him for the $43 million Fedorov invested with Zada over the past 11 years.

"Zada, acting in concert with others, duped and defrauded Fedorov into believing, among other things, that he was a wealthy and highly successful investor, with whom Fedorov could 'invest' his earnings," the lawsuit charges. "Zada made his false misrepresentations intentionally, maliciously and recklessly, which has caused Fedorov to suffer humiliation, extreme outrage and indignation."

Court records and interviews show the famous hockey player, who recently signed a reported $4 million-a-year deal to join a team in his homeland, is far from alone. At least a dozen similar lawsuits, seeking the return of more than $20 million, have been filed against Zada in Palm Beach County and Michigan.


Moore Officially Jilts CC:
Colorado College’s top recruit, defenseman John Moore, signed with the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday, giving up his college eligibility.

Moore, a first-round draft pick this June, would have tied for the highest pick ever to step foot on the Colorado Springs campus. Instead, he will likely play for Kitchener of the Ontario Hockey League.


Chambers Blog Has More Info On Wiercioch's Return:
Mike Chambers has some interesting notes from the Patrick Wiercioch story that didn't appear in the Denver Post this week. With or without Wiercioch, DU was going to have great talent and depth this season. But with him, the Pios are complete. No visible weaknesses at any position.

Lots of good info in Chambers post. I think Ryder's improvement may get him some significant playing time.
