Denver Post: Zucker & Shore's Impromptu Tryout

    Zucker is on pace to equal or better last season's scoring totals when he was named WCHA Rookie of the Year, All-WCHA Second Team, All-WCHA Rookie Team, All-College Hockey News Rookie Team and Inside College Hockey All-America Rookie Team.

    His tweets on game day are fantastic.
