#1 Pioneers Take Care of Business and Sweep Yale for Program’s 1,600th Win
A fourth consecutive matchup shutout was not in the offing in game two of the weekend series between the #1 Denver Pioneers (8-0-0, 0-0-0 NCHC) and Yale Bulldogs (0-2-0, 0-0-0 ECAC) but DU’s methodical, 5-1 dismantling of the hosts at Ingalls Ice Rink in New Haven, Conn. certainly had the same feeling as the three prior DU shutouts dating back to last November. If it wasn’t for one hail mary of a shot that just squeaked through Freddie Halyk’s pads in the first period, we would be sitting here talking about a fourth straight Yale goose egg against Denver. Instead, we’re talking about a strong, efficient Pioneers side that quietly took what Yale gave them, including seven power plays, and came away with a four-goal victory. Continue reading #1 Pioneers Take Care of Business and Sweep Yale for Program’s 1,600th Win
#1 Pioneers Blitz Bulldogs for Denver’s Third Straight Shutout of Yale

Last year, after goaltender Matt Davis was sidelined with an early-season injury, Denver thumped Yale 5-0 and 9-0 and then, in game one at Ingalls Ice Rink in New Haven, Conn., the #1 Pioneers (7-0-0, 0-0-0 NCHC) picked up right where they left off and shut out the Bulldogs (0-1-0, 0-0-0 ECAC) to the tune of 6-0.

#1 Pioneers Raise 10th Banner to Magness Rafters & Finish Off Homecoming Sweep
It was a special night at Magness Arena. One that will go down as one of the greatest in the rink’s storied 25-year history. And the reason for it had nothing to do with the hockey game being played on this night. The #1 Denver Pioneers (4-0-0, 0-0-0 NCHC) were scheduled to close out Homecoming Weekend against the #19 Northeastern Huskies (1-2-0, 0-0-0 HE), and they did so with a 5-2 victory, but it was secondary to the night’s main event – Denver’s ceremony to honor 2024’s national title team and raise the program’s NCAA-record 10th national championship banner.
