Boone Helped DU Win 1969 National Championship

(above left) One of greatest photos of DU hockey is this famous photo of Keith Magnuson and the 1969 National Championship trophy. (above right) Boone on Tim Gould's helmet

Thanks to an alert LetsGoDU's reader, we found Boone in this photo. Boone is on the helmet of DU player Tim Gould. Gould is photographed with Craig Patrick, Keith Magnuson and Tom Miller. These players formed the nucleus of DU's 1968 and 1969 National Championship teams.

Sadly, Magnuson passed away in a 2004 in a tragic auto accident. He will be missed this weekend at the 60th Anniversary celebration but not forgotten.

Craig Patrick would go on to help the USA win a gold medal in the 1980 Olympic Games (Miracle on Ice) as an assistant coach. Later he would be the General Manager for the Pittsburgh Penguins when the team won two Stanley Cups.
