DU Junior Forward Dustin Jackson broke his leg on Thursday in a scrimmage and is likely gone for the season. This will affect DU's depth at forward and his physical play will be missed during the WCHA campaign.

Hopefully Jackson will have a complete and full recovery ASAP.

Big loss for our fourth line, hopefully the injury bug doesn't start to hit home.

Tough break for an excellent depth player. Get well soon Dustin!

Does anyone know if Stephen Cunningham is still a student at DU? If so he could always come back to the team.

du78 -- I did a search of the student directory. No entry. :(

I don't know which directory the anon above used but I still see Cunningham in the directory.

Do I dare suggest that Gwoz use one of his defensemen in the forward spot, a guy like Ryder or Nutini? Both have "veteran" WCHA experience and could be good muckers on the 4th line. Plus this would satisfy some of the earlier conversations about finding a spot for both of these guys who were discussed as being on the bubble.

That sucks for Dusty. He can still be a presence in the Locker Room though. On a different note, that does tell me that thier practices are pretty damn intense. Looking forward to seeing Dusty in the building for the Vermont series

This is a shame. Jackson is a big body who can be physical and score a goal here a there. Hopefully we see him next year.
