There were some rumors that the Denver Cup was in peril. Yale & New Hampshire were scheduled to be in the field originally. Now Yale is out, but kept the date with DU.

I heard last month that the Denver Cup was still on and UNH is the Saturday night opponent.

Cornell will likely visit the week after New Years. DU shouldn't have any players at World Juniors.

So when is the Denver Cup this year if it's still on?

Isn't UNH also playing CC Thanksgiving weekend in Co Springs?

Maybe the CC/UNH road swing has relaced the Denver Cup??>

Don't have any details but that sounds likely.

Its possible that Yale & UNH's home & home with DU & CC has replaced the Denver Cup.

The problem is that with the college hockey shakeup in 2013-14 smaller schools are no longer willing to fly out to Denver for airfare & hotel money. They want appearance money for giving up a home date.

If DU does host the Denver Cup this year, its probably the last season for it anyway.

Legend has it a number of years ago in a game at Yost, the Cornell fans inspired the Michigan fans to be loud and into the game. Here's hoping that happens for us when Cornell comes to Magness next year...

Actually, the Cornell fans came out in numbers to Ann Arbor for an NCAA playoff game in 1991. What they really did was teach the Michigan fans a lot of cheers and fan participation, they kind of thing that has made Lynah rink at Cornell a very difficult building. Michigan fans learned quickly, and turned Yost into the snakepit it is today.
