Great news for Steve.
Bad news for DU hockey fans.
A great opportunity for Killer. I wonder if Monty will be able to replace him this year. If not, he is going to be a very busy man. If we are getting our Christmas list prepared early, now about asking for a few additional healthy forwards!
Wow, congrats to Steve Miller. Sounds like a great opportunity and one that is well-deserved. Plus Madison is a great town. That will be an exciting gig.
Big loss for DU hockey.
Awesome for Steve. Very happy for him. I don't even consider it a "loss" for DU hockey. He gave 20 years of his career to DU hockey, and won two national championships in the process. He was overdue to get a head coaching gig, and I consider his final years at DU as "borrowed time" for DU. Good luck to him!
Congratulations to Steve and his family. The Denver hockey community has benefited in so many ways from your work. The leadership you have shown while at DU has impacted so many young men in their formative years. You'll be an amazing coach. Thank you for commitment and loyalty to the program.
Great news! Coach Miller has earned his chance and is long over-due for this opportunity. He has been loyal to DU and been a major contributor to the program's success. Nice he could go home, too.
Best of luck.
Great, well deserved opportunity for Coach Miller.
Know it had to be hard on him to see Gwoz leave, but he continued to do the job for DU and be there for the players he recruited. He will be missed.
