Due to popular demand, the Friends of DU Hockey are adding four new products to the Crimson Crush™ store. Whether you were in the Entertainment Capital of the World or not, this is a perfect addition to salute the Pioneers incredible championship run in Las Vegas.
It wasn’t divine providence that led Denver (6-7, 2-3) past the Marquette Golden Eagle (6-7, 2-3) but Cody Malawski who carried Denver to the win and a Big EAST Tournament trip to Providence, RI. Sure, Malawski’s first quarter hat trick was great but his clutch shot-and-goal in the fourth quarter with 2:41 remaining gave DU a lead they never would relinquish in the 10-9 home victory. It was a stadium-packed night game with the season on the line for both teams and the fans were treated to a contest that came down to the wire.

We already knew that Denver was going to host Michigan and Boston College this Fall (and travel to Bowling Green at some point). We just didn’t know exactly when. Well, now we do, and folks, it’s a doozy – Denver opens its home portion of the schedule against Michigan on October 16th and 17th. While the ceremony has not yet been officially scheduled, it’s all but guaranteed that the Pioneers will raise their 11th banner to Magness Arena’s rafters before playing the very same Wolverines that they beat in double overtime of the Frozen Four just a week and a half ago.
For the first time since 2014, Denver gymnastics did not advance from regional semi-finals and they ended the season ranked 23rd.

(And yes, Doug Hirsh was the first Boone in 1968, need we be reminded? Hirsh did not wear a mascot head. He did, however, don a coonskin cap and frontier clothes.)

LAS VEGAS, Nev. – History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes. When Mark Twain (allegedly) said that, he wasn’t talking about the Denver Pioneers hockey program, but he may as well have been. On a sun-soaked afternoon at T-Mobile Arena in southern Nevada, the Denver Pioneers, trailing 1-0 after being outshot 21-5 through two periods by the Wisconsin Badgers, did their level-best impression of the 2022 national champions, scoring twice in the final period to bring home the program’s 11th title, breaking their own record of 10, set in 2024.
