News & Notes From Around Pioneer Nation

The University of Denver was named Inside College Hockey's Team of the Week. Its a great article, check it out.

You only have to look at DU's lineup in the past several seasons to see how important local players have been to the program. It looks like the pipeline is still producing premier youth players as the Colorado Thunderbirds just won a major tournament in Boston and the Littleton Hawks will represent the state in a major tournament in Quebec.

Despite losing two players this week, Mike Chambers was almost giddy recounting Colorado College's recent sweep of Michigan Tech. He's practically handing the MacNaughton Trophy to Scotty Owens in a gushing web posting. Wise fans will sit back and hum "Fifty-Seven" when the inevitable collapse occurs.

The '90s-era, CC-loving mike chambers has been brought back to life.

Couldn't agree more.

This would have been a perfect opportunity for Chambers to bust on down to the Springs and do a little digging around.

Why did the Freshman goaltender suddenly quit the team? Were promises broken or perhaps the schoolwork under the Block system overwhelmed him after he got sick.
