According to the Colorado Springs Gazette, "The freshman from Reno, Nev., was undecided about his future his junior year of high school.
Unlike most teenagers, Stremmel, now 18, had the option of choosing between golf and hockey to pay for college.
So, instead of heading off to junior hockey like other prospects, Stremmel focused on golf for a year. It was a decision that would have dumbfounded most hockey parents after years of traveling to rinks 152 miles away (Vacaville, Calif.) to play for the California North Stars and trips to goalie schools in Minnesota. But when his team moved to Las Vegas, Stremmel, who first played inline at age 7 and then switched to ice hockey a year later, had to make a decision.
“He loves hockey, but if it didn’t work out, he didn’t want to look back and wonder what would have happened with golf,” his father Steve said.
The scratch golfer was fortunate to find a Junior A team willing to take a chance. The USHL’s Chicago Steel drafted him his sophomore year and stuck with him despite the year off.
“It did take time for him to adjust to our league but he was one of the hardest-working kids on our team,” Steel coach Steve Poapst said.

The University of Denver hockey team rolled into Mariucci Arena tonight and played their most complete game of the season in a 3-0 victory. Goaltender Marc Cheverie recorded his second shutout of the season in just three starts. He raised his record this season to 3-0-0."It was nice to get that second start of the weekend.

"We have one of the best men's hockey programs, the best collegiate hockey facility and the best college hockey fans in the country, but there were events during last weekend's home hockey series that point to a need for change," UND athletic director Brian Faison said. "The vast majority of the nearly 12,000 people in the building both nights created an electric atmosphere.
"We don't want our fans to dampen their enthusiasm for Fighting Sioux hockey one decibel, but what I am asking them to do is direct their passion in a more positive manner."
Damien,
I am concerned about these issues, steps are being taken, and I share your desire to shine the most favorable light possible on college hockey. Thanks for taking the time to touch base.
Sincerely,
Jody

Ms. Hodgson,
While I wasn't present at Ralph Englestad Arena this weekend, the behavior of the fans in your facility is giving a black eye to the entire college hockey community. I hope you take steps to improve fan behavior and safety inside and outside the arena.
North Dakota fans embarrassed
Poor treatment of visiting press last season
Fan almost killed at UND Hockey Game
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
