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.

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.

The time is finally here in Las Vegas to crown a national champion. Denver is on a journey to #11 while Wisconsin seeks its 7th title in the desert. It’s the NCHC against the Big 10 in the national title game for the first time since 2018, when Minnesota Duluth beat Notre Dame.
