The Eagles, the Pioneers and the Tigers are all carried on Altitude. Probably find schedules on the website.
What a year for college hockey in Colorado! The National Champion Pioneers (3rd)play second fiddle in the ranking this year to Colorado College (1st).
On Thursday night the Tigers beat the Pios in Colorado Springs 3-0. That assures them no less than Co-Champs of the West so the home crowd gets to go nuts while they skate around with the Cup. Last night the final game of the season is the same two teams in Denver. The Pios win 5-0. Now the teams finish with identical records. Split the season 2-2, 40 points all. So now the Denver home crowd gets to see their team skate around with the Cup.
To seed the tournament they have to go to the third tiebreakers. Goals scored in head to head competition. DU edges out CC by 2. They get the number one seed, the Tigers number 2.
If you've become a college hockey fan this year in Colorado it's all been good. Too bad the media keeps pretending the sport doesn't exist. Really pisses me off. To apply the same apathy to the state of hockey in Colorado as you would to the state of hockey in North Carolina is just willful ignorance. As a fan I'm getting tired of being called "non-existant".
