Although DU was unable to come away with a victory on Friday afternoon, Glabman tells us that it was great to catch up with everyone.
Robert Graiziger (73-76) , Pete LoPresti (73-74), Dan Vlaiselejevich (80-83), Mark Luger (91-94) , Bryan Schoen (90-93), Chris Paradise (99-02), Brad Podiak, (90-91) Jay Moore (88-91), Jesse Cook (99-02), Ryan Helgason (03-07) and Jeff Lamb (84-87).
Dan Vlaiselevich's nephew Eli Vlaiselevich is a Junior defenseman for Michigan Tech.
Jeff Lamb told the famous "Audi Story" and it was good laugh, "No one remembers the goals I fricking scored, just that my dad won an Audi."
Mr. Lamb famously shot a puck from the far blue line through a small opening in the goal between periods in the mid-Eighties. He won a brand new 1985 Audi 4000. It certainly is one of the most famous goals ever scored in the old DU Arena and wasn't even scored by a player.
Tom May's dad, Matty Laatsch's parents and the Testwuide's were all cornered during the course of the weekend.
