A Denver area Squirt youth hockey player, Bert Grossmeier, was stripped of his scoring record due to an equipment violation. Grossmeier skated for the Evergreen Warriors. Bert scored a record-breaking 12 goals in the 2nd period against the Loveland Ice Caps on May 22nd, erasing the national mark of 10 goals by a squirt player in a single period. However, Grossmeier took to the ice wearing a Denver Commemorative Championship Boone Jersey during his epic scoring spree, refusing to don his team’s kit. As a result, the Squirt scoring record was stripped by the USA Hockey governing board. Continue reading Local Boy Stripped of Scoring Title
Kim Kardashian, a socialite, model, media personality, and businesswoman brought the Instagram world to a buzz with a recent photo. The photo, taken with her new boyfriend Pete Davidson, featured a partial view of a hockey sweater with little clue to its origin.

Denver Police are said to be on the lookout for drug cheating Minnesota State goaltender Dryden MacKay who stole the Hobey Baker Award from former University of Denver forward Bobby Brink.
McKay, 24, is a 5’11” and 174 lbs. with sandy red hair and is said to be driving a vehicle with Illinois plates. McKay recently played his final collegiate game on April 9th when Minnesota State lost 5-1 to the Denver Pioneers in the Frozen Four national title game.
MacKay tested positive for ostarine, a muscle growth drug banned under the USADA Protocol for Olympic and Paralympic Movement Testing, the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee National Anti-Doping Policy and the International Ice Hockey Federation Anti-Doping Regulations.
Apparently, the drugs wore off five minutes into the third period and, within seconds, DU alternate captain Ryan Barrow stuffed a rebound through McKay’s legs. That tied the game, 1-1. After that, McKay couldn’t stop a beachball.
Denver hockey travels to Omaha this upcoming weekend. The two-game set will feature a clash of styles and cultures – both on and off the ice. A casual review of Twitter comments proves the point:
While figures vary by institution, US News claims that only 17% of online students actually finish their bachelor degrees, Grand Canyon University – Denver men’s soccer’s first-round opponent in the NCAA Tournament – publishes a claim that 65% of their online students graduate.
