Donno's a madman! What a great story this is. Almost like you wonder how Rhett got onto ice skates in So Cal... I wonder why the hell isn't this big kid back in Oklahoma somewhere and like... riding horses, repairing barbed-wire fences and working on a farm???? Who cares; he's a hockey player and he's here in Denver and we get to watch him!!! Big things lie ahead for Matt. My choice for future Captain of the DU team...
I think Donno's (love the nickname) father coaches OU's Club Hockey team.So there is hockey in the bloodline.
