THE PIKES PEAK REGION
Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak Region When our city’s founder, Civil War General William Jackson Palmer,

first gazed upon Pikes Peak and the region at its base, he knew that he wanted to call Colorado Springs home. He believed Colorado Springs and the surrounding area was a place worthy of development and also of preservation. Since that time, the city has been a bright shining star throughout all of Colorado. Indeed, President Teddy Roosevelt once said it bankrupts the English language to describe the Colorado Springs area, as it is a place of such exceptional beauty, opportunity and recreation. Every year, nearly six million people visit this area for a variety of reasons. Families come here for vacations that are fun and affordable.

Golf can be enjoyed almost year-round on the 12 public courses available throughout the city. Even Colorado residents choose Colorado Springs as a place to visit on weekends. For decades, military personnel assigned to duty here have decided to return and make Colorado Springs their permanent residence. And, thousands more have moved mountains to live at the foot of our mountain, Pikes Peak. Our area is well known for its spectacular natural beauty and outdoor scenery.

THE COLORADO COLLEGE The student body typically is composed of men and women from all 50 states and more than two dozen foreign countries. A large majority hails from states other than Colorado. A significant percent are either American ethnic minority or international students, and most live on campus. All but a very small percent participate in community service, play intramural sports or study abroad at some point during their collegiate career.
Speaking of Athletics Colorado College has a long and proud tradition of intercollegiate athletics and today offers competition in eight varsity sports for men, as well as nine for women. That includes NCAA Division I ice hockey for men and soccer for women. Otherwise, the Tigers compete at the Division III level. While the hockey team plays and practices at the Colorado Springs World Arena located six miles from campus, all other intercollegiate, Cutler Hall, built circa 1878, is the oldest building on the Colorado College campus.
intramural and recreational athletics programs are centered in an easily accessible area consisting of El Pomar Sports Complex,

track and field teams, as well as an occasional venue for the men’s and women’s intercollegiate soccer squads. A six-lane, quarter-mile, latex track borders the perimeter, lights accommodate night activities and bleacher seating allows for 2,500 spectators. Adjacent to Washburn lies Stewart Field, primary home to the soccer teams, along with women’s lacrosse. Colorado College believes participation in sports to be an integral part of a well-ordered program of liberal education and, therefore, encourages the widest possible participation in its programs by members of the college community. The college is committed to a philosophy of sport that stresses the value and enjoyment of participation in the physical testing of oneself, and that challenges individuals to develop their physical and mental capacities.
Shaping Tomorrow’s Leaders
New features at the renovated and expanded El Pomar Sports Complex, scheduled for completion in spring 2013, will include a cardio conditioning room.

THE WCHA however, returned to the WCHA family for 1984-85 along with the addition of Northern Michigan to bring membership back to eight. In 1990-91, St. Cloud State joined the WCHA as a ninth team followed by the addition of Alaska Anchorage as a 10th member for the 1993-94 season. Northern Michigan then left the WCHA after the 1996-97 campaign to return the league to nine teams.

Fourteen years after opening its doors as CC’s new home in January of 1998, the Colorado Springs World Arena remains one of the finest college hockey facilities anywhere. The World Arena, which has Colorado College boasted a .698 winning percentage (221-91-16) in 328 all-time games at the World Arena entering the 2011-12 season.

2005. The Tigers, meanwhile, aim to continue taking full advantage of their state-of-the-art surroundings after boasting a .698 winning percentage (221-91-16) there entering the 2012-13 season.
SEASON
Everything about the facility is first class, and the Colorado College program is a major benefactor of the amenities. Part of a $58.8 million complex located in the southern end of the city’s business district off Interstate 25, the main arena features an Olympic-size sheet of ice (100 by 200 feet) and now seats 7,380 spectators for hockey. The complex also includes an ice hall with two additional sheets of ice that have been in operation since summer of 1995, giving CC the option of practicing at a smaller NHL-size rink in preparation for any upcoming opponent. Tiger Hockey is the top attended winter collegiate event in the entire state of Colorado, outdrawing Air Force basketbal and hockey, University of Colorado basketball, University of Denver hockey and Colorado State University basketball.

As the facility’s anchor tenant, however, CC has established a presence there rivaled by none. Certainly, when one sees or thinks of the CSWA, the Tigers also are likely to come to mind.
Closing In on 2.2 Million In 328 home dates since opening the Colorado Springs World Arena midway through the 1997-1998 season, the Tigers have attracted almost 2.2 million spectators, with an average attendance of 6,641 per outing. Fourth nationally their first full season at the CSWA (199899), when they drew more than 160,000 fans, they have sustained the momentum while finishing no lower than seventh in total attendance the last 13 campaigns.

Hanging from the ceiling above the ice are large banners commemorating Colorado College’s championships and NCAA tournament appearances. The outer concourse is adorned with beautiful tiles as well as murals and additional memorabilia honoring CC’s rich hockey history. Sellouts are common, and the large crowds have plenty to experience in addition to action on the ice. Under the stands, the Tigers enjoy their own custom facilities including an oversize locker room that leads directly to the ice and home team’s bench. Adjacent to the locker room at opposite ends are spacious areas for the medical staff and equipment storage and maintenance. Just across the hall, head coach Scott Owens and his assistants occupy private offices with a door leading directly to a team meeting room.

Q&A WITH SCOTT OWENS include only one other team – St. Cloud State – with an Olympic sheet. We’re going down to a smaller sheet, so we have to make a subtle change in terms of our size back there. And part of it’s just situational, in whom we’ve brought in (Finch is 6-0, 205 pounds; King is 6-4, 230). Down the road, we also have a couple pretty good size defensemen in (Jaccob) Slavin and (Gustav) Olofsson coming in, but then we’ve got smaller defensemen in (Garrett) Cicere and (Duggie) Lagrone, so the key is you want a blend. But we did think we needed to get a little bit bigger, for the end of the year and also for playing on the smaller sheets.” Q. Does size translate at all into increased scoring? A. “No, not really. Hopefully it’ll translate a little more into defending – Alexander Krushelnyski, one of four Tigers with double-digit goals in 2011-12, will be shooting to improve on the 20-point season he enjoyed as a sophomore.
a little little less space, a little more durability at the end of the year. But, really, we haven’t gone out of our way. This is just the way it’s worked out. Actually, (Michael) King has some offensive upside. You may not see it next year, but over the course of his career I think he’ll be able

rink, hearing those discussions and that dialogue, getting feedback. You know, Cody had an interesting year. He was hurt most of the second half. So you’re bringing in a guy who never really got a chance last year in the second half to take off. He started at Indy, ended up at Dubuque. He’s a real talent, but he’s probably going to need a little bit of time, early on, to adjust. I think he’s got a chance over the course of his four years to be really good.” Q. Bradley is reputed to really have some speed. Is he, or any of the other freshmen for that matter, as fast as, say, a Billy Sweatt? A. “He (Bradley) can skate and he’s got skill. Fejes can skate, too. He’s a bull who will go hard to the net. Hanson has more of a shot and has those hockey ‘smarts’, so I think it’s a good mix. Peter Maric skates well, too. Billy had an unbelievable explosiveness, so it’s hard to compare.
Hindered by injuries for much last season, Michael Morin hopes to make a significant contribution as a junior in 2012-13.
Cody could be smoother, probably not quite as fast, but we do hope that we’ve increased our speed a little.”

Q&A WITH SCOTT OWENS Q. Will this team be more defensive minded than offensively explosive? A. ”We’d like it to be. We don’t think we’re going to have quite the offensive firepower, so we’re going to have to be much more cognizant defensively – which may result in adjusting some systems and definitely the mindset. Last year, especially the first half, we had no problem playing the shootout type game, the run-and-gun game. This year I’m not so sure about the way I’ll want to do it until we can figure out what we’ve got.” Q. Can you elaborate on two or three other major keys to success in ‘12-13? A. ”Obviously, staying healthy is important. We

last time, what should we expect from Colorado College’s final season in the league? A. “My whole life’s been in the WCHA, as a player and a coach and an assistant coach. It’s kind of sad. We already started to experience it last year, going to Mariucci and Mankato, two places where we will not be at unless we go there for the playoffs. But I think it was inevitable. The excitement of the new league is there. It’ll be sad in some ways, but we’re still going to have Denver, still going to have North Dakota, still going to have Duluth – those old WCHA [rivalries] to hang our hat on. I just want to make sure that in our last year, as one of the original founding members, that it’s a quality season, a memorable season filled with a lot of exciting games to end our tenure in the WCHA.”
very good. I also think there’s a couple guys who don’t have letters on –
“Our pod teams this year are Denver, North Dakota and St. Cloud – the teams we play four times. That’s tough. It’s a very challenging schedule. I personally like it that way”
like Winkler, like Boivin – who are going to be there to help as well. So I think we’ve got a pretty good, solid group.” Q. Is there anything in particular that you either like or dislike about the 2012-2013 schedule? A. “It’s a difficult schedule. I’m not crazy about the two back-to-back weekends (on the road). We [go to] Cornell and Wisconsin, then we have an Omaha and North Dakota. Two back-to-backs are tough. We go 60 days in the middle of the year with only two games at home. It’s a very difficult start. We could be a pretty good team with a .500 record at certain junctures of the season. But you know what? We want to play the best. We want to do what we can do. Our pod teams this year are Denver, North Dakota and St. Cloud. Those are the teams we play four times. That’s tough. It’s a very challenging schedule. I personally like it that way.
St. Cloud State University is one of three WCHA opponents that Colorado College will meet four times during the 2012-13 regular season.
Q. Have you learned any coaching lessons from the last year? A. “Well, I think we’re going to try and get our younger guys involved more early this year. We got away from it (last season). Then, later in the year, they might be in a position to give us more of a contribution at the end. That’ll be one. I think there are other things we can learn from. For two years in a row, the team we’ve CC will battle with archrival Denver to retain possession of the Gold Pan it took from the Pioneers in ‘11-12.
ended the regular season against has also been the team we played in the first round of the playoffs – which probably hasn’t happened very often. I think we can learn some things from that. We certainly did things very similar last year as we did the year before when we played Wisconsin five straight. We kept pretty consistent, but there were a couple things we could have tweaked in terms of our preparation and our practicing. There always are things you can learn. You never stop learning.”

KEN RALPH
DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS University of Alaska Anchorage. He has served on committees for ECAC Hockey, USA Hockey, and the Liberty League.
Whether he’s conducting a staff meeting, interviewing candidates for a staff opening or diligently working behind the scenes on the latest leap forward involving sports and recreation at Colorado College, it is refreshingly obvious that Ken Ralph has infused a contagious spirit of enthusiasm, heightened sense of accountability and widespread commitment to excellence during his five years as director of athletics.
Ralph is a 1991 graduate of Alaska Anchorage, where he earned five NCAA Division II All-America awards in swimming, was twice named UAA Swimmer of the Year, and was a USS Senior National Qualifier. In 2005, he was inducted into the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame. He earned his bachelor’s degree in political science and a master’s in sports management studies from California University (Pa.). He and his wife, Mary, will celebrate their 17th anniversary in June.
An energetic, well-spoken and approachable leader with a resolute attitude, uncompromising work ethic and common-sense approach to any situation, Ralph has demonstrated not only the vision to steer the department in exciting directions, but also the instincts, perseverance and professionalism to see those dreams through to fruition. The school already has successfully launched a new, dynamic athletics Web site and implemented live video streaming of home games for nearly half of its 17 varsity programs during his tenure in office. And, within the next year, completion of the $27 million El Pomar Complex project and CC’s debut as a member of the new National Collegiate Hockey Conference will further attest to his effectuality.
GREG CAPELL
SENIOR ASSOCIATE AD
Now in his ninth year as associate director of athletics, Greg Capell serves as Colorado College's chief NCAA compliance officer and liaison with the school’s admissions office. He provides administrative oversight for 11 of CC’s 17 varsity programs – volleyball, men's soccer, men's and women's cross country, men's and women's swimming and diving, men's lacrosse, men's and women's tennis and men's and women's track and field. He is a member of the athletics senior staff and also serves on numerous committees, both for athletics as well as campus-wide.
Ralph, who accepted his current position in July 2007, previously served as AD at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute for five years. Like Colorado College, Rensselaer also is a Division III school with two Division I teams, so Ralph was no stranger to CC’s multi-divisional status upon his arrival. He’d been involved in January 2004 when the NCAA voted overwhelmingly in favor of amended legislation that permits both schools and six other Division III institutions to continue granting financial aid to student-athletes who compete on their Division I teams. For Colorado College, the outcome preserved men's ice hockey and women's soccer at the Division I level. For RPI, it was Division I men’s and women’s hockey. Other schools affected were Clarkson University, Hartwick College, Johns Hopkins University, Rutgers-Newark, St. Lawrence University, and SUNY-Oneonta.
Capell brought a wealth of experience and professional diversity to Colorado Springs upon his arrival in July 2004. Prior to a five-year stint as AD at Division III Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa, he worked at the University Minnesota – first as the director of athletics publications (1994-96) and then as an assistant to the director of men’s athletics (1996-99). A 1981 graduate of Loras, he stayed at his alma mater as an admissions counselor, assistant football and track & field coach for two years before accepting a position at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minn. He spent a full decade at St. Thomas, in a variety of roles including assistant football coach, assistant track & field coach, sports information director and assistant AD.
At CC, the 43-year-old Ralph now manages a department with a budget of more than $7 million. A member of the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation board of directors, he served as tournament director for the 2008 NCAA Men’s Ice Hockey West Regional at the World Arena. CC and the Sports Corp were co-hosts of the event. He also ran two previous regionals – in 2004 and 2006, both in Albany, N.Y. – while at Rensselaer. Prior to his years at RPI, Ralph served as senior assistant athletic director, head swimming coach and head water polo coach at Connecticut College; director of aquatics, head swimming coach and physical education instructor at University of Evansville; assistant swim coach and physical education instructor at the U.S. Air Force Academy; director of aquatics and head swimming coach at Kutztown University; director of aquatics and head swimming coach at Georgetown University; assistant swimming coach at the University of Missouri; and assistant swimming coach at the
In his position at Loras, Capell managed a department with a $1.8 million budget, and directed an athletics program that rose to 37th nationally among 425 Division III schools in the 2004 USSA Director’s Cup rankings. He also served as tournament director for the 2004 NCAA Division III Wrestling Championships, an event that drew the second highest attendance in its history and generated $1.5 million in revenue for the city of Dubuque. Capell, who earned his master’s degree in athletics administration from St. Thomas in 1999, is a member of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics, the National Association of Division III Athletics Administrators, and the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation. He and his wife, Marcy, have a daughter, Erin, who will turn 10 in January, and a three-year-old son, Gabriel. 22

HISTORY OF CC HOCKEY Back in 1938, thanks to sponsorship from local business firms, eight inexperienced teams including one from CC were able to organize the Pikes Peak Hockey League. Tiger Hockey officially made its debut on January 21 of that year in an 8-1 loss to a team sponsored by Giddings department store. Colorado College finished the campaign with three victories and nine defeats under player-coach and team captain John Atwood, of Watertown, Conn. The program made significant strides forward the following season under new coach Garrett Livingston, whose leadership the next four years helped vault CC to national prominence. While several New

COLORADO COLLEGE IN THE NCAA PLAYOFFS
The 1938-39 Tigers were the first CC team to play a full season of competition.
In 2007-08 the Tigers reclaimed possession of the fabled MacNaughton Trophy as WCHA regular-season champions. It was their ninth title overall, third in five years and sixth since 1994. They won an unprecedented three consecutive crowns in the mid-1990s (1993-94, ’95-96 and ’96-97). CC’s three previous league titles came in the 1950s (1951-52, ’54-55 and ’56-57). In 1956-57 Colorado College also wrapped up its second NCAA championship under coach Tom Bedecki.
Launch Pad to Success Four Colorado College coaches – John Matchefts (1968-69), Jeff Sauer (1971-72 and ’74-75), Brad Buetow (1991-92) and Don Lucia (1993-94 and ’95-96) – have earned WCHA

Colorado College Rhodes Scholar Paul Markovich ’88 The first and only Rhodes Scholar ever to emerge from the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, former CC defenseman Paul Markovich went on to study at the Plekhanov Institute of Economics in Moscow before earning his master’s degree in philosophy, politics and investment from Oxford University in England. Markovich, a two-time member of the All-WCHA Academic Team, played in 68 career games for the Tigers, including 35 as a senior in 1987-88 after recovering from knee surgery a year earlier. In the early 1990s the Grand Forks, N.D., native began a distinguished career in the field of health care and insurance, and ever since has held high-profile corporate positions from coast to coast – in New York City, Oakland and San Francisco. He currently serves as president and chief operating officer for Blue Shield of California, a not-for-profit health plan with $9.7 billion in annual revenue. “Attending such a terrific liberal arts school while competing in Division I hockey was a formative experience for me,” Markovich says of his four years at Colorado College. “You can’t help but learn and grow when you are pushing yourself to perform both academically and athletically. Out of necessity I learned the importance of organization, persistence, and resilience – all skills that have helped me in my career.” Markovich and his wife, Lisa, are the proud parents of a 12-year-old son, Tyler, and nine-year-old daughter, Jasmine. Both of his parents are retired faculty members at the University of North Dakota.
ART BERGLUND ’63, a CC player in the early 1960s, has managed more than 30 United States teams in a variety of tournaments worldwide, spanning five decades. Now retired as senior director of international administration for USA Hockey, Berglund served as director of player personnel for the 1992, ’94 and ’02 U.S. Olympic teams. He entered the Colorado Sport Hall of Fame earlier this year after earlier inductions into the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), the Colorado College Athletics, Northwestern Ontario Sports and U.S. Hockey HOFs.

HISTORY OF CC HOCKEY University, and now the new Division I/Big Ten program at Penn State starting in 2013-14. CC has launched dozens of players into the professional ranks during the last six decades. While 36 former Tigers had played in the NHL prior to the 2012-13 season, several more are destined to make their debuts at the sport’s highest level in the near future. Two Colorado College products – Bill “Red” Hay with the Chicago Blackhawks in 1961 and Doug Lidster with the New York Rangers in 1994 as well with the Dallas Stars in 1999 – have had their names engraved on the Stanley Cup. Tom Preissing reached the Cup finals with the Ottawa Senators in 2007. Preissing and Gord Whitaker, meanwhile, are among very few North Americans ever to compete in the Russian Elite League, while recent grads Addison DeBoer and Scott Thauwald have taken their talents to Australia. Many others, including Hobey Baker Award winners Peter Sejna and Marty Sertich, are competing in Europe. Tiger Hockey also is well represented in the Colorado College Athletics Hall of Fame. In fact, the entire 1949-50 national champiSTEVE SERTICH

Dave Delich, CC’s career points leader, joined the HOF in 2002 while Gambucci, who skated for the 1950 NCAA champs but starred as a baseball and football player as well, was honored on an individual basis in 2004. Lidster followed suit in 2009. Delich, Hay and Palazarri, along with fellow Colorado College alumni Eddie Mio and Brian Swanson, also were recognized among the WCHA’s all-time top 50 players in conjunction with the league’s golden anniversary season in 2001-02.

HISTORY OF CC HOCKEY 2007
In a major rebuilding season, Colorado College finishes just two points out of third place and hosts a first-round WCHA playoff series for the 14th time in 16 years.
2008
While skating to its sixth regular-season title in the last 15 years, Colorado College produces three All-Americans and first-team All-WCHA selections in freshman goaltender Richard Bachman, senior defenseman Jack Hillen and junior center Chad Rau. Bachman becomes just the second player ever to be voted both WCHA Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year. He also is named national Rookie of the Year by the Hockey Commissioners’ Association. Hillen is honored as WCHA Defensive Player of the Year. Despite losing their last three games, including a 3-1 decision to Michigan State on their home ice at the NCAA West Regional, the Tigers post 28 victories overall including 21 in league play.
2009
After tying a WCHA and NCAA single-season record with 10 ties, the Tigers earn a home-ice playoff berth for the 16th time in 18 seasons only to be eliminated by Minnesota Duluth. CC goes undefeated (1-0-3) in four games against the University of Denver, however, to claim possession of the Gold Pan for the third consecutive year. Senior center Chad Rau repeats as an All-American and first-team All-WCHA selection.
Scott Owens and former CC head coaches Jeff Sauer, John Matchefts and Mike Bertsch celebrate Matchefts’ receiving the John “Snooks” Kelley Founders Award in spring of 2007. 1998
The Tigers open the new Colorado Springs World Arena at mid-season, then go on a late rampage that produces a third-place finish in the WCHA standings and their fourth consecutive berth in the NCAA tournament. CC defeats Clarkson again at the East Regional before bowing out to Boston College in the national quarterfinals.
1999
CC completes first full season at the World Arena, winning its last nine games there, and earns its fifth consecutive NCAA playoff bid after finishing second in the WCHA. The Tigers beat St. Lawrence at the West Regional before falling to Michigan State in the national quarterfinals. Brian Swanson and Scott Swanson are named first-team All-Americans.
2000
The Tigers and World Arena learn that will serve as co-hosts for the NCAA West Regional in 2004, when the national post-season tournament returned to Colorado Springs after a 35-year absence.
2001
Colorado College reaches the NCAA quarterfinals with a 3-2 double-overtime victory over St. Lawrence University at the East Regional. Mark Cullen is named a secondteam JOFA West All-American.
2002
The Tigers reach the NCAA quarterfinals again with a 2-0 opening-round victory over Michigan State at the West Regional. Mark Cullen is named WCHA Student Athlete of the Year, as well as a second-team All-American for the second consecutive season.
2003
CC earns its eighth NCAA playoff bid in the last nine years and 16th overall, then advances to the national quarterfinals yet again with a 4-2 victory over Wayne State University at the Midwest Regional in Ann Arbor, Mich. After being ranked No. 1 for nearly two months, the Tigers see their season end with a 5-3 loss to the University of Michigan. Peter Sejna wins the Hobey Baker Award and is one of four Colorado College players named to the West All-America Team.
2004
The Tigers finish seventh in the WCHA standings but upset arch-rival and eventual national champion Denver in the opening round of the league playoffs. The NCAA West Regional is held for the first time at the Colorado Springs World Arena, but without CC as a participating team.
2005
Regular-season co-champion of the WCHA, Colorado College beats Colgate then stuns Michigan at the NCAA Midwest Regional to earn its first trip to the Frozen Four since 1997. Marty Sertich and Brett Sterling finish first and second nationally in overall scoring, with Sertich becoming CC’s second Hobey Baker Memorial Award winner in three years.
2006
The late Bob Bartlett, Colorado College’s original goaltender back in 1938, dropped the ceremonial first puck as the Tigers celebrated their 70th anniversary in February 2008.
The Tigers earn their 10th NCAA playoff bid in the last 12 seasons but are eliminated by Cornell University in the tournament’s opening round. Marty Sertich and Brett Sterling emerge as Hobey Baker Top-10 Finalists for the second consecutive year, with Sterling repeating as a First-Team All-American. 34
2010
A young Colorado College blazes to a 10-2-1 start, including a 7-1-1 mark in league play, before finishing sixth in the WCHA standings. The Tigers hang tough in a firstround WCHA playoff series at Minnesota Duluth before being eliminated in Game 3 of the best-of-three series.
2011
Refusing to fizzle down an extremely challenging home stretch of the regular season, Colorado College wins a best-of-three playoff series against Wisconsin to reach the WCHA Final Five, where it beats Alaska Anchorage to clinch an NCAA tournament bid. The Tigers then stun defending national champion Boston College, 8-4, in the opening round before bowing out with a 2-1 loss to Michigan in the national quarterfinals. Later that summer, in July, CC announces that it will leave the WCHA after the 2012-13 season and be a founding member of the new National Collegiate Hockey Conference starting in 2013-14.
2012
The Tigers go 2-1-1 against archrival Denver to regain possession of the Gold Pan for the first time since 2008-09, finish fifth in the WCHA standings and earn home ice for the opening round of the league playoffs for the 17th time in 19 years. Their post-season ends abruptly, however, when eighth-seeded Michigan Tech upsets them with a two-game sweep at the World Arena. Sophomore Jaden Schwartz, a first-round draft pick of the St. Louis Blues two summers earlier, signs a professional contract within days and later is named a first-team All-American.

Colorado College and the Hobey Baker Memorial Award by Dave Moross The Hobey Baker Memorial Award (HobeyBaker.com), college hockey’s equivalent of the Heismann Trophy in football, is presented annually at a nationally televised ceremony held in conjunction with the NCAA Frozen Four. The 2011 event will take place at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn., on April 8, the day before
Peter Sejna became the first Colorado College player ever to win the Hobey Baker Memorial Award after claiming a national scoring title in 2002-03. Marty Sertich became the second Tiger to win the Hobey Baker Award while claiming a national scoring crown in 2004-05.

The award was initiated more than three decades ago, in 1981.

produced two recipients of the coveted award, with Peter Sejna emerging as CC’s first winner in 2003 and Marty Sertich following suit in 2005. Each earned the distinction during his junior season as a Tiger, en route to claiming a national scoring championship and All-America honors. Teammate Brett Sterling joined Sertich, who also was honored among the Top 10 finalists a year later, in the Hobey Hat Trick group in ’05. The Tigers have consistently put forth candidates for the Hobey Baker Award since the mid-1990s as former All-Americans Peter Geronazzo (1996), Jay McNeill (1996), Brian Swanson (1999) and Tom Preissing (2003) all have advanced to the Top 10.

bly going to play the younger guys more,” said Owens, who heads into his 14th season at the helm just one shy of 300 career victories. “We did that two years ago, and last season we just ended up going with a bit more of an older lineup. This year I think we’ll give our newcomers, along with some of those sophomores who didn’t get to play a lot their first year, more of a chance. You might see a couple of the freshmen struggle early on, but I think by Christmas they’re going to be full-fledged veterans.” The incoming class of six features four forwards. The Tigers plucked three of them – Cody Bradley (Dubuque Fighting Saints), Jared Hanson (Lincoln Stars) and Peter Maric (Green Bay Gamblers) – from top-tier USHL teams. The fourth – Hunter Fejes from Shattuck St. Mary’s prep school in Minnesota – was a sixth-round draft pick of the NHL’s Phoenix Coyotes in June.

He also spent three seasons serving in a similar capacity at the University of Michigan. Landau and The Alternative 103.9 RXP (formerly The Eagle) won Awards of Excellence – one of the Colorado Broadcast Association’s most coveted honors – for three years running in the major market division. The awards are presented annually for “Best Sports Coverage” by an individual or broadcast team. In 1992, Landau won the Associated Press of Michigan broadcast award for best play-by-play. And, in 2003, he called the first college hockey game ever for College Sports Television and hosted CSTV’s wall-to-wall coverage of the Frozen Four in Buffalo.

Coach & Player Interviews
dmoross@coloradocollege.edu
Interviews with the Colorado College coaching staff and team must be arranged through the athletic media relations office. Special requests generally will be honored with 24 hours notice. Head Coach Scott Owens is available for pre-game interviews up until an hour before the opening faceoff. As a rule, pre-game interviews with players will not be granted. After a game, coaches and players will be available for comments outside the locker room at the Colorado Springs World Arena. Since Colorado College maintains a closed locker-room policy, a member of the CC media relations staff will be designated to summon players from the locker room once Coach Owens is finished addressing the team. Practice sessions, which typically are held from 3:45-5:45 p.m. weekdays, are open to the media. However, practices can not be interrupted for interviews. All interviews should be completed 15-20 minutes before practice begins, or after it is completed. Tuesdays and Wednesdays generally are the preferred days.

TIGERS & RESULTS OF THE PAST
TIGER HOCKEY & THE NHL A first-round draft pick of the St. Louis Blues in June 2010, when he was chosen 14th overall, Jaden Schwartz became one of four former Colorado College standouts to make their National Hockey League debuts during the 2011-12 season. Schwartz, who led the Tigers in scoring as a freshman and sophomore before turning pro, joined recent graduates Kris Fredheim, Chad Rau and Bill Sweatt in competing at the sport’s most elite level. Entering the current 2012-13 campaign, 36 CC stars of the past had experienced playing in “The Show.” With several others under contract in the minor leagues, eagerly awaiting their turns, that number is likely to climb even higher in the near future. Freshman forward Hunter Fejes became the program’s latest draft choice when the Phoenix Coyotes selected him in the sixth round last June. While Schwartz and defenseman Mark Stuart are the only firstrounders ever to play for Colorado College, more than 75 current or former Tigers have had their names called in the NHL draft. The Boston Bruins made Stuart, now with the Winnipeg Jets, their No. 1 pick and the league’s 21st overall in June 2003.

AN EXCITING FUTURE
New Alignment Less than a Year Away NCHC to begin competition in 2013-14 Penn State’s announcement in early 2011 that it would establish a Division I hockey team starting with the 2013-14 season set the wheels in motion. Within months, the entire landscape of the sport would change. On July 13, 2011, Colorado College officially joined the movement and reaffirmed a commitment to providing its fans with the highest quality product possible for years to come. In a bold and exciting move that will launch Tiger Hockey into a new era, CC announced jointly with five other high-profile programs that it will become a founding member of the National Collegiate Hockey Conference starting in ’13-14. Also uniting to initially form the NCHC were the University of Denver, Miami University, University of Minnesota Duluth, University of Nebraska Omaha and University of North Dakota. After adding St. Cloud State University and Western Michigan University in September, 2011, the new league soon expanded to eight members. All but one – Miami and WMU – currently compete in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, of which Colorado College has been a charter member since the league’s origin more NCHC commissioner Jim Scherr on the grounds of the Julie Penrose Center, near the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, where the new

league’s headquarters are located.
Intent on showcasing college hockey at its best and setting a standard of excellence nationwide, the NCHC named Jim Scherr, former chief executive officer of the United States Olympic Committee, as its first commissioner in January 2012. Joe Novak was hired as director of operations in May. “I think our school, our players, staff and fans will be treated to a consistently excellent level of competition that will be both challenging and rewarding in the long run,” said Scott Owens, now in his 14th season as head coach at CC. “Our program is proud to be a part of that and the formation of this new league.” Miami University and Western Michigan are existing members of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association. Like their six
