The Pioneers have one of the best collegiate hockey facilities in the country. Evidence of this can be seen here (above) in the team’s state-of-the-art locker room. Each student-athlete has his own locker stall which includes built-in hangers, ventilated storage space under the seat and two shelves for gloves, pads and helmets.

Another example of this fi rst-class facility is the player’s lounge (below right). Team members utilize this lounge for various activities including meeting, studying or relaxing between classes. Between the locker room and player’s lounge is a training room. This room is used by the training staff during games and practices and allows the players to remain close to the locker room.

Cheverie answered the call as DU’s No. 1 goaltender last season by starting all 40 games, while posting a 23-12-5 record, 2.34 goals against average and .921 saves percentage. Cheverie earned All-WCHA second-team accolades and was college hockey’s player of the month for December. Goaltender Marc Cheverie Junior Anthony Maiani “Marc has worked tremendously hard on his game since his freshman season and it really showed last year,” Gwozdecky said. “He was our Forwards most valuable player, and we expect him to improve and take on a DU will have plenty of depth, talent and experience at forward leadership role with Adam Murray and Lars Paulgaard.” this season. In addition to Rakhshani and Ruegsegger, DU returns leading scorer Anthony Maiani (Shelby Township, Mich.), alternate Also returning for their sophomore seasons are 2008-09 All-WCHA captain Kyle Ostrow (Calgary, ), sophomore Luke Salazar Rookie Team members (Maple Ridge, British (Thornton, Colo.) and junior Jesse Martin (Edmonton, Alberta).

Wiercioch (12-23=35) team, while Ostrow had 14-14=28 with four game-winning goals. earned All-WCHA second-team honors after leading all WCHA rookie Salazer netted 15 goals, including fi ve game-winners, and Martin added blueliners in points, goals and assists. a career-best 10-13=23.

DU welcomes arguably the nation’s top recruiting class, led by forward “Maiani, Ostrow, Salazar and Martin will all play important two-way Drew Shore (Denver, Colo.) and defensemen Matt Donovan roles for us this season,” Gwozdecky said. “All four have tasted success in (Edmond, Okla.) and William Wrenn (Anchorage, Alaska).

“Shore is a perfect example of how youth hockey has developed in the Mile High City,” Gwozdecky said. “He is a highly-skilled, two-way forward who will contribute immediately.”

Newcomers Shawn Ostrow (Calgary, Alberta) and Chris Knowlton (Colorado Springs, Colo.) will battle for immediate playing time. Ostrow netted 31-42=73 for the of the Alberta Junior Hockey League in 2007-08 before a knee injury sidelined him for most of last season. Knowlton tallied 11-13=24 for Des Moines of the USHL in 2008-09.

“Although we lost Dustin Jackson for the season with a broken leg, we are confi dent that we have the depth, skill and competitiveness in our forward positions,” Gwozdecky said.

Defensemen The blueline will be the most competitive position for Denver. The playing experience of upperclassmen Cody Brookwell (Calgary, Alberta), Chris Nutini (Centennial, Colo.), John Ryder (Colorado Springs, Colo.), John Lee (Moorhead, Minn.) and Wiercioch will be a factor early in the season.

Rookies Donovan, Wrenn and Paul Phillips (Darien, Ill.) will command ice time with their skill and talent. Donovan was named to the USHL All-Star Team in 2008-09 after netting 19-32=51 for Cedar Rapids and Wrenn captained Team USA to three gold medals in Sophomore Joe Colborne international competition last season. Phillips recorded 8-25=33 with Donovan in Cedar Rapids last season. “Our depth and skill on the blueline will once again be one of our strengths,” Gwozdecky said. “The competition for playing time will be exciting to watch on a day-to-day basis in practice and games.” Jon Cook (Denver, Colo.) and Joey Brehm (Edina, Minn.) will provide depth and experience as juniors. Goaltenders Cheverie will begin the season as DU’s No. 1 goaltender, but Gwozdecky plans to platoon the junior with rookie Adam Murray (Anchorage, Alaska) early in the season in hopes of developing a two-man goaltender rotation that proved to be successful during the national championship seasons of 2004 and 2005. Murray posted a 22-10-1 mark with a 2.94 goals against average and .902 saves percentage with two shutouts for the Under-18 Team in 2008-09. Lars Paulgaard (Vettre, Norway) will be the No. 3 goaltender after serving as Cheverie’s backup last season.

“We are improved at the goaltending position, which became one of our strengths last season,” Gwozdecky said. “Marc will start the season as our No. 1 goaltender, but he will be pushed by Adam daily in practice. We will evaluate Marc and Adam in game situations early in the season.”

Schedule Seven-time NCAA champion Denver opens its 2009-10 season by hosting 2009 NCAA Frozen Four participant Vermont during the 60th Anniversary celebration of its storied program on Oct. 9-10. DU will play 11 games against 2009 NCAA Tournament participants and four games each against NCAA heavyweights North Dakota, Minnesota and Colorado College.

“We are looking forward to another highly-competitive schedule in 2009-10,” Gwozdecky said. “Vermont will present a big challenge to start the season during the most anticipated hockey reunion in the 60-year history of our program. We play six of our fi rst 10 games on the road and we will certainly be challenged every game this season.” Sophomore Patrick Wiercioch www.DenverPioneers.comwww.DENVERPIONEERS.com 9 COACHING STAFF george GWOZDECKY Head Coach • 16th Season , Wisconsin (1977)

1958 NCAA NATIONAL CHAMPIONS DU Whips Nodaks 6-2, Wins Ice Crown By Dick Hilker - Denver Post Sports Writer (The Denver Post - Sunday, March 16, 1958)

MINNEAPOLIS - A super-charged University of Denver team routed But North Dakota 6-2 Saturday night to win the national championship of collegiate hockey.

The Pioneers, who shook off a 1-0 fi rst period defi cit, put out enough human effort to win two ordinary games as they came pounding back with three quick goals in the second period and three more in the third.

Coach Murray Armstrong’s crew saved its best all-around performance of the season for its most important game.

Although beaten three times in four Western Intercollegiate Hockey League games by the Nodaks earlier in the season, the razor-sharp Pioneers skated like demons and passed with precision to defeat their Front Row (L-R): Alan Cook, Wayne Klinck, Coach Murray Armstrong, Ed Zemrau old nemesis. (captain) and Rodney Schneck; Middle Row (L-R): Murray MacDonald, Gordon Cresswell, Bruce Walker, Con Collie and Dennis Slinn; Back Row (L-R): Blair Living- stone, Barry Sharp, John Barnhill, Walt Dingwall, Murray Massier, Jim Brown, John The pressure of a championship game had little effect on the Redshirts.
