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.
Business people from all over the country attend meetings and
conventions and often stay a little longer to enjoy the breathtaking
scenery. Group tours head our way to experience the many attractions
and historical sites. Ski enthusiasts have only a short drive from
Colorado Springs to the surrounding ski resorts. 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. From the 14,115-foot summit of Pikes Peak to the incredible
sandstone rock formations of the Garden of the Gods, our spacious
landscape serves as a stage for many outdoor recreation opportunities,
including mountain biking, trail hiking, horseback riding, rafting,
fishing and picnicking, or just napping on a sun-drenched rock
amid a backdrop of pine trees, wildflowers and trickling streams.
Our climate – mild, sunny and dry most of the year – gives visitors
a large window of opportunity when planning a vacation.
Our region’s rich historical, cultural and architectural points of
interest attract many visitors every year. We honor our city’s
founders by preserving and maintaining the structures that make up
our community, including beautiful Victorian homes, churches and
businesses that were built decades ago, and historical districts in
downtown Colorado Springs and Old Colorado City. Just an hour’s
drive away are historic Cripple Creek and Victor, mining ghost
towns brought back to life by limited-stakes gambling.
A wide range of cultural programs are available to our residents and
guests, including sculpture and painting exhibits, plays, operas,
symphony concerts, film festivals and dance recitals. Our local
government works to develop the region while preserving those
parts of our city that remind us of our earliest beginnings and the
spirit in which this community was founded. General Palmer and
the early residents most assuredly knew they were polishing a
diamond in the rough.

INTRODUCTION PROGRAM HISTORY MEET THE TIGERS A LOOK BACK ALL-TIME LEADERS & RECORDS TIGERS & RESULTS OF THE PAST
Right where the short grass prairie meets the foothills of the Rockies,
there is a place where, with a certain amount of guts and an open mind,
students can study the liberal arts and sciences in the mountain air.
A private, four-year college, Colorado College is located on a
90-acre campus in downtown Colorado Springs near the base of the
14,115-foot Pikes Peak. It’s the only college of its kind in the Rocky
Mountain region and one of only a handful of its type located in a
metropolitan area.
Getting lost in a good book…Learning at CC is kind of like that.
Under the school’s unique and intensive “Block Plan,” students take
one course at a time for three and a half weeks. This means smaller
classes, with more writing, discussion, and in-depth investigation of
one subject at a time.
During a block, students immerse themselves in environmental sci-
ence or chemistry, Chinese or Spanish, poetry or medieval history,
or any of our stimulating courses on campus or around the world.
Our students come from many ethnic,
religious and socioeconomic backgrounds.
They typically are independent-minded
adventurers who love a challenge. At CC,
they find the encouragement, opportunities
and inspiration they need to reach their
greatest potential.
A full range of the performing arts, special
interest clubs and organizations, student publications and intramural
and intercollegiate athletics rounds out the rigorous academic program
at CC. The college encourages freedom of expression through an
independent student press, as well as student and faculty forums on
current issues and programs representing widely ranging viewpoints,
often presented by distinguished visitors to the campus.
More About the Block PlanTeaching and learning are at the heart of all activity. Students never
sit in a jam-packed lecture hall. With an enrollment of barely 2,000
and a nine-to-one ratio with faculty, our students get to know
accomplished instructors who teach first and foremost – all in seminar-
style classes. They may choose to work on a student/faculty collaborative
research project, or create their own independent study. Students
learn to venture their own opinions and begin the process of
shaping their own direction and destiny.

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 AthleticsColorado 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,
intramural and recreational athletics programs are centered in an
easily accessible area consisting of El Pomar Sports Complex,
Washburn and Stewart Fields, and Honnen Ice Rink.Washburn Field serves as the home stadium for men’s lacrosse and
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 LeadersA number of Colorado College alumni were tapped by President
Obama for positions in his administration. They include:
• Former Colorado Senator Ken Salazar ’77, secretary of the interior
• Jane Lubchenco ’69, head of the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration
• Lori Garver ’83, deputy administrator of NASA
• Marcia McNutt ’74, director of the U.S. Geological Survey
• Harris Sherman ’64, agriculture undersecretary for natural
resources and environment
Additionally, Colorado College had a 2008 graduate, Aaron
Gutierrez, serving as an intern in the office of legislative affairs at
the White House. Gutierrez, who was born and raised in Pueblo,
El Pomar Sports Complex, still in the midst of a $27 million renovation
and expansion project that began late in 2011, houses the athletics
department offices as well as J. Juan Reid Arena, home court for the
CC basketball and volleyball teams, and Schlessman Pool. Once the
current construction is completed in spring 2013, the building also
will be equipped a new state-of the-art fitness center and additions
including a cardio conditioning room with separate strength area;
separate space for varsity training; a yoga studio; squash courts; two
auxiliary gyms; expanded physical therapy space; indoor and outdoor
lounge spaces for students, faculty, and staff to socialize; and separate
locker rooms for students, faculty, and staff
Cutler Hall, built circa 1878, is the oldest building on the Colorado College campus.
New features at the renovated and expanded El Pomar Sports Complex, scheduledfor completion in spring 2013, will include a cardio conditioning room.

Colo., graduated with a B.A. in international political economy and
a minor in Spanish. A survivor of brain cancer, Gutierrez was a
Fellow at El Pomar Foundation, one of the largest and oldest grant-
giving foundations in the Rocky Mountain West. At El Pomar, he
received firsthand experience in the nonprofit sector.
Gutierrez and McNutt, who has served as president and CEO of the
Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, are among the long list of
notable CC alums that also includes William J. Hybl ’64, past president
of the U.S. Olympic Committee, member of the International Olympic
Committee, and nominated delegate to the United Nations General
Assembly; Lynne Cheney ’63, news commentator and wife of former
Vice President Dick Cheney; Tara Nott Cunningham ’94, the United
States’ first Olympic gold medalist in women’s weightlifting (2000
Games); Olympic gold medalist Peggy Fleming ’70; Olympic cyclist
and World Mountain Bike Champion Alison Dunlap ’91; William
“Bro” Adams ’69, Colby College’s 19th president and former president
of Bucknell University; Neal Baer ’78, an executive producer/writer
for “ER” and “Law & Order SVU”; Jay Engeln ’74, 2000 National
High School Principal of the Year and currently CC’s director of
alumni & parent relations; U.S. Congresswoman Diana DeGette ’79;
Glenna Goodacre ’61, a sculptor who designed the image of
Sacagawea on the golden U.S. dollar coin; and Peter Neupert ’78,
Microsoft executive and founder of Drugstore.com.
Jill Tiefenthaler succeeded Richard F. Celeste and became
Colorado College’s 13th president on July 1, 2011.
She previously was provost and
professor of economics at Wake
Forest University. She earned
master’s and doctoral degrees in
economics from Duke in 1989
and 1991 respectively, and a
bachelor’s degree in economics
from Saint Mary’s College in
South Bend, Ind., in 1987.
Prior to joining Wake Forest,
Tiefenthaler taught economics
at Colgate University. She chaired
the economics department from 2000 to 2003, and from
2003 to 2006 she served as associate dean of the faculty. At
Colgate, Tiefenthaler took lead roles in strengthening strategic
planning, faculty development, enrollment management,
curriculum development, and interdisciplinary scholarship
through the establishment of new centers and institutes.
With research interests focused on labor economics, economics
of the family, and development economics, she has published
numerous articles in scholarly journals. Her cross-cultural
academic work includes studies conducted in the Philippines
and Brazil, including a study for the World Bank in the 90s.
Tiefenthaler has been a leader in university/community
engagement. As founding director of Colgate’s Upstate
Institute, designed to bring together the resources of Colgate
with the needs of the region, she expanded outreach by
working closely with community and business leaders. She
served on the Madison County Priorities Council and on the
board of the Partnership for Community Development. As
chief academic officer at Wake Forest, Tiefenthaler led a
strategic planning process culminating in a 10-year plan to
develop Wake Forest as the nation’s leading collegiate univer-
sity. The plan reflects the emphasis on the teacher-scholar
model, education of the whole person, and the preservation
of opportunity in higher education. Under her leadership,
Wake Forest established the Institute for Public Engagement,
the Humanities Institute, and a number of interdisciplinary
research centers.

T H E WCHA
INTRODUCTION PROGRAM HISTORY MEET THE TIGERS A LOOK BACK ALL-TIME LEADERS & RECORDS TIGERS & RESULTS OF THE PAST
The Western Collegiate Hockey Association, arguably college hockey’s
most historic and successful conference for more than half a dozen
decades, celebrates its 61st anniversary in 2012-13 before undergoing
a major transformation a year later.
Founded in 1951 as the Midwest Collegiate Hockey League (MIHL),
with seven original members in Colorado College, Denver, Michigan,
Michigan State, Michigan Tech, Minnesota and North Dakota, the
MCHL was renamed as the Western Intercollegiate Hockey League
(WIHL) for the 1953-54 season.
The WIHL disbanded in March of 1958 for one year before being
His tor y, Trad i t ion and Succes sreassembled as the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA)
with the same original seven members.
While membership in the WCHA has continued to change and
evolve over the years, the most impactful shakeup will occur after
the current season when eight of its 12 current teams leave to help
form new conferences and five programs from the Central Collegiate
Hockey Association are absorbed to fill the void.
Of the original seven, only Michigan Tech will remain, joining Alaska
Anchorage, Alaska Fairbanks, Bemijdi State, Bowling Green, Ferris
State, Northern Michigan, Lake Superior State and Minnesota State
as the new WCHA starting in 2013-14.
The first expansion occurred in 1965-66, when Minnesota Duluth
was added as an eighth team. For the 1969-70 season, Wisconsin
came on board as a ninth member, followed by the addition of
Notre Dame for 1971-72 as a 10th team. Following the 1980-81 cam-
paign, Michigan, Michigan State, Michigan Tech and Notre Dame all
left the WCHA for the Central Collegiate Hockey Association. Tech,

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 fol-
lowed 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.
Minnesota State (Mankato) was
granted membership beginning
with the 1999-2000 season to up
membership to 10, followed by
the most recent addition of
Bemidji State and Nebraska
Omaha for the 2010-11 seasons
to give the WCHA its current 12 member teams.
National ChampionshipsNo collegiate conference – in any sport – can top the impressive list
of national scale accomplishments of the Western Collegiate Hockey
Association and its member teams.
Since 1951, teams representing the WCHA have earned a record 37
men’s national championships, finished as the runner-up another 27
times, and qualified for at least one berth at the NCAA Frozen Four)
in 56 of 60 seasons.
College Hockey’s Biggest CrowdsAfter reaching a record 1,734,275 a year earlier, WCHA home atten-
dance totaled 1,547,555 in 2011-12 while surpassing the 1.5 million
mark for the 10th consecutive season and the one million mark for
the 18th in a row. Average attendance per home game at the league’s
12-member team arenas was 6,585.
Remarkably, the nation’s top six hockey schools in average home
attendance all were WCHA member teams. Wisconsin was No. 1 at
11,772 per game, North Dakota was No. 2 at 11,341 per game,
Minnesota was No. 3 at 9,539 per game, Nebraska Omaha was No. 4
at 7,864 per game, Colorado College was No. 5 at 6,754 per game, and
Minnesota Duluth was No. 6 at 6,328 per game.
The Red Baron™ WCHA Final FiveThe league’s annual playoff championship, known as the Red Baron™
WCHA Final Five, continues to be among the most successful post-
season collegiate tournaments in the country.
The showcase event is held annually in mid-March following the
first round of WCHA playoffs, with the first round winners playing
for the Broadmoor Trophy and the league’s automatic berth into the
national tournament.
Played the last 12 consecutive seasons at the Xcel Energy Center in
Saint Paul, Minn., the WCHA Final Five has drawn 1,339,370 in 20
In 2011-12, the Western Collegiate Hockey Association continued its history of success.
Witness the following headlines:
• Four league teams – Minnesota, North Dakota, Minnesota
Duluth and Denver, post at least 25 victories overall, earn bids
to the NCAA tournament and are ranked among the nation’s
top eight in USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine’s final poll
• UMD’s Jack Connolly wins the Hobey Baker Memorial Award
and is one of seven WCHA players – including three first-team
selections – to earn All-America honors
• The WCHA’s 12 member teams combine for a 51-33-8 record
and .593 winning percentage against opponent from the other
four Division 1 conferences
• Attendance at WCHA games
surpasses the 1.5-million
mark for the 10th season in
a row
• A record 150 men’s student-
athletes are named to the
All-WCHA Academic Team
• The 2012 Red Baron WCHA Final
Five draws more than 73,000 to Xcel
Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn., for an
average of 14,600 per game

All-Americans and Scholar-AthletesApproximately 330 WCHA players – including more than 40 during
the last seven seasons alone – have earned All-America honors since
the early 1950s. In 2011-12, the league produced seven All-Americans
including three first teamers.
Off the ice, a record total of 150 players representing all 12 teams
earned recognition to the All-WCHA Academic Team in ‘10-11, while
another 55 earned the prestigious WCHA Scholar-Athlete Award.
WCHA Scholar-Athlete award honorees must have a grade-point
average of at least 3.50 (4.0 scale) for the previous two semesters or
three quarters, or an overall GPA of at least 3.50.
The WCHA, the NHL and International HockeySince its founding in 1951, the WCHA has been a leader in produc-
ing both professional skaters and players for international teams. Just
a few of the more than 400 past and present NHLers who have roots
in the WCHA include the likes of Tony Esposito, Glenn Anderson,
Lou Angotti, Bill ‘Red’ Hay, Eddio Mio, Glenn ‘Chico’ Resch, Keith
Magnuson, Red Berenson, Bill Masterton, Lou Nanne, Curt Giles, Bill
Masterton, Mark Johnson, James Patrick, Mike Richter and Brett Hull.
In the most recently completed NHL season of 2011-12, approximately
100 WCHA alums competed in hockey’s top professional league.
Included in that group were former Colorado College standouts
Richard Bachman, Joey Crabb, Jack Hillen, Curtis McElhinney, Toby
Petersen, Nate Prosser, Chad Rau and Mark Stuart, along with the
likes of Brian Elliott, Joe Pavelski, Zach Parise, Mason Raymond, Paul
Stastny, Jonathan Toews and Travis Zajak – just to name a few. A
year earlier, in 2010-11, 93 WCHA alums played in the NHL.
The WCHA also owns an enviable reputation for providing top-notch
international playing and coaching opportunities for its member
student-athletes and coaches. More than 110 WCHA alumni have
Olympic playing experience with teams
that include the United States, Canada,
Italy, Norway, Austria, Germany, Sweden,
Finland and France, and conference-
member teams and players have also
received additional international expo-
sure on a regular basis since 1951. Over
the years, the WCHA has hosted touring
teams from the USSR, Canada, Sweden,
Czechoslovakia, Latvia, Germany, Italy,
Finland, Norway, Switzerland, England
and France and the league has sent men’s
WCHA All-Star Teams to Europe in both
1998 (Switzerland) and 2000 (Norway).
During the most recent 2010 Winter
Olympic Games held in Vancouver, 10
WCHA alums played for the U.S., two
played for gold medalist Canada, and
one played for Finland. Seven WCHA players also won gold with
Team USA at the 2010 IIHF World Junior Championship in Saskatoon,
and in the summer of 2010, WCHA-member Michigan Tech traveled
to Germany for a series of international games.
More recently, in October 2011, conference alums Mark Johnson
and Colorado College Hall of Famer Jeff Sauer were named recipients
of the NHL’s prestigious Lester Patrick Award for outstanding service
to hockey in the United States.
ExposureMore than 200 WCHA games are televised annually, including all
five live by Fox Sports North, from the annual WCHA Final Five.
‘This Week in the WCHA,’ the league’s unique weekly radio show,
will mark its 16th season in 2012-13. The five to seven-minute show,
broadcast throughout the conference’s five time zones by member
team flagship stations, features audio game highlights, interviews
and miscellaneous items related to college hockey.
The league’s official web site – WCHA.com – was redesigned and re-
launched for the 2010-11 season and now includes features such as
live web and mobile scoreboards, a full line of automated team and
individual statistics, automated standings, automated box scores,
individual player pages with complete statistics, team rosters, and
automated team and league schedules.
The 2011 WCHA Final Five saw the debut of a new six-teamformat, including Colorado College, and attracted nearly71,000 fans to five games for an average crowd of 14,181.

Two- t ime Venue fo r the NCAA Wes t Reg iona l
Colorado College boasted a .698 winning percentage (221-91-16) in 328all-time games at the World Arena entering the 2011-12 season.
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
been on national display as site for the 2004 and 2008 NCAA West
Regionals, also played host to the annual IceBreaker Invitational in
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.
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. * National totals do not include exhibition game against University of Calgary

In addition to showcasing Colorado College Hockey, the technically-
equipped, multi-use World Arena serves as host for a wide variety of
other indoor sporting and public events. As the facility’s anchor ten-
ant, 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.
Clos ing In on 2 .2 Mi l l ionIn 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 (1998-
99), 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. In 2011-12, the average attendance for 20
NCAA home games was more than 91 percent of capacity. The
record for a single contest was set in March 2005, when 7,881 packed
the stands for a late-season showdown with the University of Denver.
The Tigers will continue to use facilities at the National Strength and ConditioningAssociation’s headquarters, just south of the World Arena complex, in 2012-13.
Team Meeting Room & Lounge Team entrance to the ice from the locker roomTiger Locker Room
From a fan’s perspective, the World Arena earns high marks as every
seat features an unobstructed view. The rise per row of the stands
helps everyone feel right on top of the action, with concessions and
restrooms conveniently nearby, whether you’re in the lower or
upper level. Of course, accommodations for the media are top-
notch. Hanging from the ceiling above the ice are large banners
commemorating Colorado College’s championships and NCAA tour-
nament 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. * includes exhibition games (total of 19)

H EAD COACH S COT T OWENS
INTRODUCTION PROGRAM HISTORY MEET THE TIGERS A LOOK BACK ALL-TIME LEADERS & RECORDS TIGERS & RESULTS OF THE PAST
With 12 consecutive winning
seasons tucked away, Scott
Owens already has stamped an
indelible mark in the storied
annals of Tiger Hockey. The
2012-13 campaign marks his
14th overall at the Colorado
College helm, the longest
tenure of any head coach in
the program’s storied history.
And, just one victory shy of
300 for his career as CC’s
bench boss, Owens continues
to burnish his reputation and
status among the school’s most successful ever.
The numbers themselves tell a compelling story. Thirteen seasons,
299 triumphs and a .608 winning percentage. Not to mention three
regular-season championships in the Western Collegiate Hockey
Association and seven appearances in the NCAA tournament,
including a trip to the Frozen Four in 2005 and return to the quar-
terfinals in 2011. Oh, yes – don’t forget 16 All-America selections,
two Hobey Baker Award winners and 13 players earning WCHA
Scholar-Athlete distinction a total of 25 times since creation of the
award in 2005-06. To say that Owens is a perfect fit at his alma
mater would be an understatement.
His teams have averaged 23 victories per season since he accepted
the position in 1999. The 31 triumphs in 2004-05 and 28 in 2007-08
represent the team’s second and sixth highest totals ever. It’s no mere
coincidence that the Tigers have maintained a firm foothold among
Division I hockey’s elite, while attendance figures at the Colorado
Springs World Arena also continue to rank among the nation’s best.
True, Owens has compiled an impressive list of coaching credentials
now spanning more than two decades. But when he returned to campus
in April 1999 after four stellar seasons in the Junior "A"-level United
States Hockey League, he also brought with him an intimate familiarity
with the college that few other individuals could possibly possess.
A 1979 graduate with a bachelor’s degree in business administration,
Owens lettered for four seasons as a goaltender with the Tigers. He
later spent four campaigns (1991-95) as a member of the CC coach-
ing staff, serving as recruiting coordinator and playing a key role in
the program’s revival in the mid ’90s. He was promoted to associate
head coach for the final two years of that stay. Before leaving to
become head coach and general manager of the Des Moines Buccaneers
in 1995, he had helped lead Colorado College to its first of five con-
secutive appearances in the NCAA playoffs as well as two of three
straight regular-season championships in the WCHA.
He understands the school, its students and its athletics philosophy.
Having experienced, as a player and a coach, what works and what
doesn’t at Colorado College, he knows what the ingredients of success
have been in the past and is able to trust his instincts approaching the
future. He’s at home in the community, and his achievements every-
where he’s been are testimony to his knack for motivating players.
In his four years at Des Moines, Owens posted an overall record of
179-76-9 and winning percentage of .695, including a record-setting
62-12-1 (.833) mark in 1998-99 when the Buccaneers claimed the USHL’s
regular-season and playoff titles. Also national Junior "A" champions
a year earlier, they came within one victory of repeating the feat in
1999 when they finished as runner-up to Detroit Compuware.
In 21 seasons combined, as a head coach in the USHL and at Colorado
College, Owens has seen his teams prevail in 627 official decisions.
Prior to his first return to CC in 1991, he spent six years as general
manager (1984-90) and head coach (1986-90) of the USHL’s Madison
Capitols, followed by one season (1990-91) as an assistant coach at
the University of Wisconsin. A native of Madison, he guided the
Capitols to four consecutive appearances (1987-90) at nationals. His
four-year coaching record with the club was 149-97-9 (.602), includ-
ing a 41-18-3 (.685) mark in 1989-90, its best ever. He was voted
USHL General Manager of the Year in 1986-87 and 1997-98, as well
as the league’s Coach of the Year in 1987-88.
The 56-year-old Owens, who coached the South at ’86 and ’87 U.S.
Olympic Festivals, also spent five years as a player, assistant coach and
youth program coordinator for the Kempten Ice Hockey Club in Kempten,
West Germany, after graduating from Colorado College in 1979.
He appeared in 50 games for the Tigers during his collegiate playing
career, backstopping 12 victories as the team’s No. 1 goalie his senior
season in 1978-79. He attended and played hockey at Madison’s
Memorial High School under coach Bill Howard, another former CC
goaltender. Owens then played one year for the St. Cloud (Minn.)
Blues of the Mid-West Junior League. He also represented the United
States at the 1975 Junior World Championships, competing against
teams from Canada, Czechoslovakia, Finland, Russia and Sweden.
He and his wife, Sally, were married on New Year’s Eve, 2001. He has
two stepsons, Evan and Sean, ages 27 and 24.

Q&A W I TH S COT T OWENS
Q. In the final analysis, due to the first-round playoff elimination at
the hands of Michigan Tech, last season had to be a bit disheartening
and frustratring – correct?
A. “No doubt, the very end of the year – especially the first round of the
playoffs – was very disappointing. We had some good parts to our year.
The first half was good. We had some good series the second half. But in
the end, not to get out of the first round was very disappointing – especially
after we had just beaten that team twice the week before to get home ice.”
Q. Do you think expectations may have been a little unrealistic?
A. “Well, I understand why the expectations were there. We had that
strong finish in St. Louis [the year before] and we returned a good group
of players. But, you know, sometimes it’s got to all come together, too.
We just couldn’t get it all going or all get on the same page the second
half of the year. Either the goaltending was off, or the injury problem, or
we couldn’t score opportune goals. It seemed like it just didn’t come
together. It [did] the year before but just didn’t at the end of last season.”
Q. Didn’t it seem as though we just never could get over the hump?
A. “That was the frustrating part. We had some good periods. We went
into Minnesota and we won 2-1 and lost 2-1. Then we took three out of
four points from Denver, and you think we’re kind of on the run there
heading into February. I really think we had some significant concussions
and injuries that thwarted us or derailed us to a certain extent. But in the
end the good teams find a way to play through that, and we just didn’t in
that first round of the playoffs.”
Q. How gratifying was it to reclaim the Gold Pan?
A. “That was tremendously exciting because they were great games. The
game up there, the first one, we came back. We lost, 5-4, but we battled
back. The second game, obviously, was the overtime penalty- shot game.
Then we went up there and basically had a 1-0 win, 2-0 with an empty
netter. Then it was a 2-2 tie at home after Josh (Thorimbert) got knocked
out halfway through the game and Joe Howe came in, so they were great,
exciting games. And, being able to hoist the Gold Pan is always a highlight.”
Q. There definitely were other great highlights, bright spots and
encouraging signs. Had you advanced past Tech in the opening
round, would the end result have felt entirely different?
A. “There were [other
highlights]. The first
half of the year was
kind of wild, open
hockey, and we were
scoring goals left and
right. I think you saw
a few people emerge, a
few people had pretty
good years – Rylan
Schwartz scoring six
goals at North Dakota,
Josh Thorimbert’s strong play from Dec. 10 on. We had a lot of good
series. Cornell came in, and Union. Our home record was good. I think it
was the second best league home record at 10-3-1. So there were some good
things. But, when you lose at the end of the year, and you’re done early, it
just takes away from that. It’s a fine line. I mean, if you get to St. Paul
and win a game there, you’re probably in the NCAA tournament. If you get
to St. Paul and you don’t win that first game, you’re kind of on pins and
needles, but at least you feel that you’ve had a more complete season.”

Q. In terms of scoring goals, how do you explain so little from the
defensive corps and freshman class? Was that a surprise?
A. “The freshmen didn’t get a lot of quality games, to be honest with
you. We ended up going with kind of a veteran lineup. The forwards –
DiGiando, Taft, Wamsganz – probably played only 10 to 15 games and
their minutes weren’t very plentiful. Defensively, Ian Young didn’t play a
ton, while Harstad and Stoykewych did not
have the roles that a Boivin, and a McDermott
and a Guentzel had. There just wasn’t a spot
for them, so I don’t think it’s necessarily a
reflection of what kind of players they are.
They just didn’t get a great chance. They will
get a better chance this year. But overall, the
[lack of] scoring from the blue line surprised
me a bit. I thought we would have a little more
from some guys, and you saw Boivin kind of
come on the second half of the year – maybe a
little bit of a foreshadowing into this year.
And remember, McDermott was hurt for five
weeks that second half.”
Q. What are your thoughts on Joe Howe and Josh kind of being at
opposite ends of the spectrum for much of the season?
A. “Joe Howe was phenominal in October. I mean, you couldn’t beat
him. When I think of that Bemidji series, and at RPI, he played phenom-
enal. It was kind of a mixed bag for Joe the rest of the year. He gave us
some good good games and some not so good games. Josh struggled a bit
early. The Saturday night Bemidji State game, the homecoming game, he
didn’t complete the game, and also one of the games at North Dakota.
But from about Dec. 10 on, he really caught fire and played well. But
they both are quality goaltenders and it’s going to be a real interesting
battle this year.”
Q. So you do expect Joe to bounce back?
A. “Joe’s a competitor. He just battles and competes. I know he worked
extremely hard
over the summer.
He’ll come back
and want to put
together a really
good senior year.
Josh (Thorimbert)
has got a little
momentum
because of the
strong play and
the All-WCHA
third-team selection, but every year is different and we’ll go from there.”
Q. If you had to pinpoint one major shortcoming that prevented the
team from experiencing more success in 2011-12, what would that be?
A. “I don’t know if it was one thing. I’d say our penalty killing, the
shorthanded goals (11) we gave up, and then the scoring the second half
of the year just kind of dried up. We didn’t get much secondary scoring.
Part of it was injuries. Rylan was playing banged up, Winkler was hurt,
Rapuzzi was a little banged up and we just
weren’t gettting a lot of scoring. But I’d say it
was probably a lack of consistent scoring the
second half, the penalty killing dropped off,
then also the shorthanded goals because those
can have a very devastating effect during the
course of a game.”
Q. Are those things correctable?
A. “There’s no doubt they’re correctable. We’re
certainly revisiting some systems and things we
want to do differently on our penalty kill. We
play a very aggressive PK and we’re going to
re-evaluate that. I think the power play could
have a little different look that could help us in
some areas – we’re certainly going to emphasize it. And scoring remains
to be seen, how that’s all going to play out. We do have potential, some
guys coming back.”
Q. In addition to Jaden signing and Dakota Eveland’s medical situation,
how significant are the graduation losses?
A. “I think they’re significant. First of all, I think losing Dakota hurt us
more than people realized last year. I mean, he played a very good role
for us – as a third-line left wing, a real smart player – and I think that
had an effect. But we’ve lost Jaden (Schwartz) and Dakota out of that
junior class. And then there’s Guentzel. Gabe played 27, 26, 25 minutes
a game. Civitarese ended up having a really good senior year in terms of
contributing to the overall success of the team on offense and defense.
Timmy Hall was an effective role player for us. Dineen was our heart-
and-soul captain, a gritty guy, so we do have some some losses. It was a
good quality class. But we like to think that each year we lose a quality
class. We just need some people who will fill in those holes.”
Q. Do you anticipate either Boivin or Marciano coming close to
Gabe’s minutes, or will it be spread out a bit more?
A. “Ideally, we want to try and get away from that. We want to spread
the minutes out more evenly for everybody. It’s easy to say now, but I’m
not sure we’re going to have anybody who plays those kind of minutes.
I do think that Marciano and Boivin are going to play very key roles on
this team as senior defensemen – Boivin a little more offensively and
hopefully Joe can regain a little more of his form from his sophomore
year, when he was a really, really strong defending defenseman.”
Peter Stoykewych is among three sophomoredefensemen expecting to increase their playingtime for the Tigers in 2012-13.
Joe Howe hopes to post the kind of numbershe put up as a freshman and sophomore.

INTRODUCTION PROGRAM HISTORY MEET THE TIGERS A LOOK BACK ALL-TIME LEADERS & RECORDS TIGERS & RESULTS OF THE PAST
Q. Doesn’t it appear as though the Tigers actually have one of the
WCHA’s strongest goaltending tandems?
A. “I would think so. You certainly can look at the minutes played by Joe
(Howe) and the success he’s had. Obviously, Josh is that younger guy
who made a pretty good statement the second half of the year. I was
really happy with what Courtney (Lockwood) contributed to the program,
as well, as our third goaltender, a guy who worked extremely hard in
practice and whom we became comfortable with.”
Q. Do you think expectations, generally speaking, might be a little
lower this year and put CC a touch under the radar?
A. “I think they’re going to be real low, and there’s nothing wrong with
that. I think people will underestimate us a little, mostly because Jaden
signed. He’s a guy who had a chance to be a Hobey Baker candidate or
winner. There’s no doubt that his talent is going to be sorely missed.
That, and the fact that we lost in the first round of the playoffs. But I
don’t think it’s a bad thing. I think our guys are going to be hungry, and
working. They had a good spring and summer, so I think they’ll come in
ready to go. Maybe that’ll take a little of the pressure off them.”
Q. Does losing a guy like Jaden sometime have a reverse effect,
more positive than negative?
A. “It doesn’t always, but it can – because now guys don’t just rely on
Jaden to do all the work. They actually have to tighten up their skates a
bit, get after it themselves and not look around for somebody else to do
it. So it can help you from that standpoint. Hopefully, the guys will say
‘Hey, we’re a little more than just a Jaden team’ and play with a little
chip on their shoulder.”
Q. What is your assessment of the reinforcements?
A. “It’s an interesting incoming class. We’ve got four forwards coming
in, and two defensemen. The thing I like about them is that, fortunately,
every one of these kids comes from
a winning program. So there’s those
nuances, a little bit of those intan-
gibles, that come with that. I think
Cody Bradley has a chance to be a
very good, skilled player. Jared
Hanson had a big-time season at
Lincoln last year. Hunter Fejes is a
young bull who’s got a chance to
play. Peter Maric is more of a role
player who’s just won a champi-
onship with Green Bay. All three
coaches he’s had in the USHL
speak highly of him. He’s just kind
of a character role guy. The two
defensemen, Russell Finch and lot
of potential to help
contribute as well.”
Q. With Nick Dineen
and Jaden gone,
along with Civitarese,
that’s 37 goals and
almost 80 total points
to replace. Apart from
Rapuzzi, who else
really needs to step
up in the scoring
department?
A. “We are off about
40 percent of our scor-
ing, but I think you’ll
see a lot of teams that
are going to be in that same category, are going to lose that many. But
you know what? Rapuzzi – he had 10-11 goals each of his first two
years, and he had three last year. I think Winkler can be set up, if he
stays healthy, to have a big year. He’s a big kid who will be playing with
a lot of confidence now. I think Krushelnyski can build off his 10 and 10
from last season. I think Archie Skalbeck, who had nine goals his fresh-
man year and only one last year, is a candidate to contribute. It could be
across the board, in terms of who’s going to contribute and help make up
the slack.”
Q. Can CC reverse its recent lack of scoring by defensemen?
A. “We’ll see how it plays out. I think Boivin could have a real strong
year offensively. He was very quietly near the leaders in the league last
year, in points for a defenseman, and I say ‘quietly’ [because] a lot of
people weren’t aware of that. If Eamonn (McDermott) stays healthy, he
can chip in. Harstad’s got a great shot. Now, with a year under his belt
and having more confidence, he should be
able to get that through more. Ian Young’s
got some offensive potential, too. He didn’t
get to play a lot last year. I’m really not so
worried about [the scoring] aspect of it,
although it certainly would be nice, because
I do think that Boivin can carry some of the
offensive load for us.”
Q. Generally speaking, is it a fact that
defensemen at CC are getting bigger
and bigger each year?
A. “We’re getting bigger, no doubt. Part of
it is that we’re trying to transition to the
NCHC (National Collegiate Hockey
Conference, in 2013-14), which will
Mike Boivin, whoseeight goals as a juniorin ‘11-12 representedhalf the total by CC’sentire defensive corps,expects to contributehis share of offensivefireworks again duringhis senior season.

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 –
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
to put up some numbers, too.”
Q. Do you anticipate any “dark horses” emerging from the return-
ing forwards or the incoming class?
A. “If Andrew (Hamburg) can play the way he did the last four weeks of
the season, he’s got a chance to really help us. He was scoring for us and
doing a pretty good job with his role. Michael Morin should get a chance
to play a bit more this year. Charlie Taft will be able to play on a more
consistent basis.”
Q. Do you foresee depending on the incoming freshmen more than
you did last season, when not one of the newcomers scored a goal?
A. “Yes, we’ll do that by design. A couple of them are pretty skilled and
we think that they can contribute right away. We did that two years ago,
[but] last season we just ended up going with a bit more of an older line-
up. You know what? It’s just the way it played out. We went with the
personnel we had.”
Q. How much more can Winkler and Krushelnyski do than they
have so far?
A. “Scott Winkler had seven goals last year. I think one of them was an
empty netter, so that’s six goals, with a couple on the power play. He
played the last seven weeks with a broken bone in his hand. For four of
those seven weeks, he couldn’t even shoot the puck. But he was playing. I
think he has the capability of [scoring] double-digit goals and hopefully
20 assists. I think ‘Krush’ has the possibility of scoring more than 10
goals and having more than 10 assists...I’d like to see him be a 30-point
guy – maybe scoring 13 goals and having 18 assists, or something along
those lines. He’s going to be given that opportunity with another year
under his belt and some confidence, along with some good hard work
over the summer at getting stronger.”
Q. What kind of factor is genetics, with regard to guys like Cody
Bradley and Krushelnyski, whose dads starred in the NHL?
A. “I think it plays in. Genetics, and also mentality – being around a
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.
Cody could be smoother, probably not quite as fast, but we do hope that
we’ve increased our speed a little.”
Alexander Krushelnyski, one of four Tigers with double-digit goalsin 2011-12, will be shooting to improve on the 20-point season heenjoyed as a sophomore.
Hindered by injuries for much last season, Michael Morin hopesto make a significant contribution as a junior in 2012-13.
Q&A W I TH S COT T OWENS
17
INTRODUCTION PROGRAM HISTORY MEET THE TIGERS A LOOK BACK ALL-TIME LEADERS & RECORDS TIGERS & RESULTS OF THE PAST
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
didn’t have an injury until the 10th of January
last year. We were going with 28 players and all
of a sudden it hit in waves. Consistent goaltending out of the chute, out
of the box – not questionable, then phenominal, then questionable, then
great. We need consistent goaltending, health, building a good team con-
cept where we have a lot of different people contributing, helping. And
improving our overall team defense.”
Q. Were you pleased with the recruiting efforts?
A. ”I’m pleased. It came together kind of late, which sometimes can be
scary because you don’t always know. But I’m happy with it. You’ve got
a power forward in Fejes, a
skilled center iceman in
Bradley, a right wing who can
score in Hanson, and then
you’ve got Peter Maric who can
jump in and play because he’s
very versatile. The two defense-
men (Finch and King) will
need a little bit of time, but
I’m very happy at the way it
all came together. Plus, it’s a
little bit of an older group.”
Q. Russell Finch, the oldest
of the bunch, actually will
have turned 21 before train-
ing camp starts. What can
you tell us about him?
A. “The thing about Russell is
that he played in St. Louis,
which has a winning tradition in the North American League, then went
to Fairbanks, which also has a winning tradition. He’s just a nice solid
presence at the blue line who can defend and give a little offense. He can
play minutes and he’s a ‘character’ guy. He’s somebody who’ll be able to
pop in and play a role, pop out, then he’ll get a two or three-game stint, and
he’ll be out. But he’s a quality player who comes highly recommended.”
Q. How effective of a captain do you see Rapuzzi being?
A. “I think he’s going to be a very good captain, based on what we saw
last spring. The reviews he’s gotten from the other players have been out-
standing. He’s always been a guy who doesn’t say much, but when he
talks, people listen to him. He’s kind of a hockey player’s player. He’s got
good insight, and now he’s the guy leading. He’s seen the good things and
bad things the last couple years. I think he’s got a nice supporting cast in
terms of Maricano, Rylan (Schwartz) and Eamonn (McDermott), but if
last summer and spring are any indication, he’s going to be very good.”
Q. What else were you able to observe from spring drills?
A.“The (graduated) seniors were gone and it was just the underclassmen
lifting, so you get a different dynamic. They work out four times a week.
So, during the course of that, some personalities come through. Some
guys who have been reserved are now out front. I think Rapuzzi is very
team oriented. All in all, just based on what we saw, his leadership was
William Rapuzzi will switch the ‘A’ onhis jersey to a ‘C’ for his senior year andserve as team captain this season.
If Scott Winkler (25) and his teammates can avoid late-season,injuries that took their toll toward the end of 2011-12, ColoradoCollege’s chances for success in ‘12-13 will rise substantially.
“We don’t think we’re going to have quite theoffensive firepower, so we’re going to have to bemuch more cognizant defensively.”

very good. I also think there’s a couple guys who don’t have letters on –
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.
Q. Knowing you may be going to some of the WCHA barns for the
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.”
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
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.”
The 2012-13 campaign marks the Tigers’ last in the WCHAas they prepare to make the transition as a charter memberof the National Collegiate Hockey Conference for 2013-14.
St. Cloud State University is one of three WCHAopponents that Colorado College will meet fourtimes during the 2012-13 regular season.
CC will battle with archrival Denverto retain possession of the Gold Panit took from the Pioneers in ‘11-12.

An invaluable source of continuity and mentor
for the team’s blue-line corps since joining the
Colorado College staff in 2000-01, Joe Bonnett
has helped launch the professional careers of
more than a dozen defensemen during his
tenure with the team.
Three of his protégés – Tom Preissing, Mark
Stuart and Jack Hillen – earned All-America
accolades before leaving CC. Preissing set an
NCAA single-season goal scoring record for defensemen with 23 tallies
as a senior in 2002-03, while Stuart and Hillen both were honored as
Defensive Player of the Year in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association.
Those three are among seven former Tiger “D” men who have competed
at the sport’s highest level, joining Richard Petiot, Lee Sweatt, Kris
Fredheim and Nate Prosser in reaching the National Hockey League for
various durations. An ever-increasing number of others – including
Brian Salcido, Brian Connelly, Jake Gannon, Ryan Lowery and Gabe
Guentzel – continue to pursue that ultimate goal while under profes-
sional contract with NHL minor-league affiliates.
Heading into the 2012-13 season, Bonnett’s 13th as an assistant coach
under Scott Owens, Colorado College has reaped seven bids to the
NCAA playoffs, claimed three WCHA regular-season championships and
won 281 games – an average of more than 23 victories per campaign –
since his arrival.
His impact is felt in all aspects of the program. Not only is Bonnett
active in recruiting and on-ice instruction, but he alsoplays a major role
in practice preparation, team video, advanced scouting reports and
individual teaching clips for the players. His main focus lies in team
transition, defensive schemes and skill development of the blue-line
corps. Under his guidance, CC’s team defense has finished as high as
sixth and its penalty kill fourth nationwide at seasons’ end.
While helping to maintain the flow of top hockey talent at Colorado
College, Bonnett has been involved in recruiting quality students as
well. More than four dozen players have been named to the All-WCHA
All-Academic Team in the last 12 years. In addition, 13 have garnered
WCHA Scholar-Athlete distinction a total of 25 times since creation
of the award in 2005-06.
Bonnett previously served as recruiting coordinator at Miami University
in Oxford, Ohio (1997-01), where he helped fuel the program’s future
and secured the 2003-04 CCHA Player of the Year. He started his coaching
career as associate head coach of the Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings (NAHL),
guiding them to an appearance in the 1994 junior “A” national tourna-
ment. Bonnett served as a volunteer assistant at Miami from 1995–97.
While there, he earned his master’s degree in sport organization and
helped guide the RedHawks to the NCAA tournament in 1997.
One of the most decorated defensemen in
the history of Tiger Hockey and a rising star
in the sport’s coaching fraternity for the last
decade, Eric Rud returned to the CC staff in
2011-12 after a six-year absence.
Rud served as head coach and general manager
of the United States Hockey League’s Green Bay
Gamblers during the 2010-11 season, guiding
them to an overall record of 41-15-4 and a
spot in the Clark Cup finals. He resigned in July, 2011, to become an
assistant coach at CC for the second time. He has been involved with
numerous USA Hockey camps and clinics since the early 2000s, and
has helped coached a pair of select teams that competed internationally
in Slovakia (under-17) and the Czech Republic (under-18).
Known for his acute hockey sense, commitment to academics and
positive manner with which he relates to student-athletes, Rud
launched his coaching career as an assistant with the USHL’s Cedar
Rapids Roughriders in 2002 after playing professionally for five years
and six different minor-league teams. He returned temporarily to his
alma mater for the 2004-05 campaign, when the Tigers posted a 31-9-3
record en route to the program’s most recent Frozen Four appearance,
JOE BONNETT ASSISTANT COACH
ERIC RUD ASSISTANT COACH
Bonnett was a four-year letter winner as a forward at Western Michigan
University (1989–93) and an assistant captain his senior year. A 1993
graduate of WMU, where he received a bachelor’s degree in secondary
education, he was named Western Michigan’s Most Improved Player as
a junior in 1991-92, then was named recipient of the program’s
Catherine Lawson Sportsmanship Award as a senior in 1992-93.
Over the years, Bonnett has built extensive experience as a volunteer
with USA Hockey during the summer months. That includes work
with the Rocky Mountain Festival in Salt Lake City, which annually
attracts top players – such as recent Tiger standouts Richard Bachman
and Mike Testwuide – from throughout the region. He also has served
as a head coach for Team Michigan and Rocky Mountain districts at
national select -14, -15, -16 and -17 festivals. In 1999, his select-16
team Michigan won a gold medal in St. Cloud, Minn. In 2003,
Bonnett served as an assistant coach with the United States under-17
select team that won the gold medal at the 2003 Five Nations
Tournament in Prievidza, Slovakia.

Terry Kleisinger returns to the Tigers’ staff
for his eighth season overall as a volunteer
assistant coach. He served in that capacity
the last three campaigns, as well as for four
years (2000-04) earlier last decade.
Kleisinger, who lives in Edwards, Colo., near
Vail, again will continue to work primarily
with Colorado College’s goalies – Joe Howe,
Josh Thorimbert and Courtney Lockwood.
The former University of Wisconsin goaltender was a member of
two NCAA championship teams, in 1981 and 1983, as well as
UW’s national runner-up squad in 1982. Before graduating in
1984, he set a school record with nine career shutouts and became
just the third UW net minder to amass more than 2,000 career
saves. A native of Nanaimo, British Columbia, he subsequently was
named to the roster of Canada’s national team.
Kleisinger went on to play professionally in the New York Rangers
organization (1985-88) before injuries sustained in an automobile
accident forced him to retire. He began his coaching career with
the Madison (Wis.) Major AAA team in 1989 and in the early
2000s served on the staff of the Vail (Colo.) AAA squad.
Kleisinger and his wife, Laurie, have two sons – Casey and Cody,
ages 23 and 21.
Spud Hamilton returns in 2011-12 for his

top farm club of the National Hockey
League’s Phoenix Coyotes.
He began his career at age 15 and has worked for the Augusta Lynx
of the East Coast Hockey League, the Elmira Jackals of the United
Hockey League and the El Paso Buzzards of the former Western
Professional Hockey League. He also spent seven seasons in the
Ontario Hockey League, four with the Sarnia Sting and three with

at St. Cloud State University. There he helped the Huskies earn four
appearances at the Western Collegiate Hockey Association’s Final
Five as well as three trips to the NCAA Tournament.
Before reuniting with Scott Owens and Joe Bonnett at CC in the
summer of 2011, Rud enjoyed remarkable success in his debut as a
head coach. In addition to its glittering record and post-season
achievements, Green Bay allowed just 131 goals – the fewest by any
team in the entire USHL – during his year at the helm. Defenseman
Aaron Harstad, one of his top players with the Gamblers and a 2011
draft pick of the Winnipeg Jets, emerged as Colorado College’s top
rookie in ‘11-12.
A native of Inver Grove Heights, Minn., Rud enjoyed an outstanding
playing career (1993-97) with the Tigers, who claimed a then-
unprecedented three consecutive WCHA regular-season titles his
first three years and reached the Frozen Four his last two. He ranks
24th on the school's all-time assists list, with 90, as well as ninth
among blue-line specialists in overall points, with 112. The two-time
WCHA Defensive Player of the Year appeared in 168 consecutive
games, third most ever in program history. As a junior in 1996, his
first of two seasons as team captain, he helped lead CC to the nation-
al championship game – a 3-2 overtime loss to Michigan at
Cincinnati’s Riverfront Coliseum.
Rud and his wife Amy, who married in August of that same year, are
the proud parents of a 10-year-old daughter, Gabbie, as well as two
sons, Sam and Max, ages 12 and 8.

INTRODUCTION PROGRAM HISTORY MEET THE TIGERS A LOOK BACK ALL-TIME LEADERS & RECORDS TIGERS & RESULTS OF THE PAST
Since blazing into a new era with the opening of the Colorado
Springs World Arena in January 1998, Tiger Hockey has continued
to solidify its position among the nation’s most elite Division I
programs. With six league titles, 17 home-ice playoff berths and
12 NCAA tournament bids tucked away since 1994, Colorado
College keeps adding chapter after chapter to its
fabled history.
CC’s recent string of success, which includes trips to the
national “Frozen Four” in 1996, 1997 and 2005, speaks vol-
umes for the modern-day version of a program that has
spanned eight decades. Sure, when Scott Owens took over
as head coach in 1999, he inherited a perennial power-
house. But where does the tale really begin? How has
little Colorado College, a private liberal arts and sci-
ences college with an enrollment of barely 2,000 stu-
dents, maintained such elite status in a sport filled
with Division I giants?
Two concepts come to mind: Tradition. From its
pre-World War II roots, to its hosting of the first 10
NCAA Tournaments and co-founding of the WCHA, the school has
influenced college hockey’s growth from infancy. Commitment.
Proving that academic and athletic excellence can co-exist in a small
campus environment, CC has relied on vision, hard work and cre-
ativity to revive, nourish and sustain a program that many others
across the nation aspire to imitate.
Humble Beg inn ingsColorado College Hockey got its start in January of 1938, when
the Broadmoor Hotel converted its seldom-used indoor
riding academy into an ice rink. The Broadmoor World Arena,
originally called the Broadmoor Ice Palace, served as CC’s
home for 55 seasons before being demolished at the con-
clusion of the 1993-94 campaign. In 2012-13 the Tigers
entered their 54th and final season as a member of the
Western Collegiate Hockey Association, as well as their
74th overall, with an all-time record of 1,123-1,109-114 in
2,346 games played against outside competition.

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
One fo r the Ages
Spring of 2010 marked the 60th anniversary of a victory that
arguably ranks as Colorado College’s greatest ever.
On March 18, 1950, having blasted Boston College by a 10-3
count in the NCAA semifinals two nights earlier, the Tigers
found themselves in a dogfight after 40 minutes of play in the
national championship game at the old Broadmoor Ice Palace.
Three second period goals – including a pair by Harry
Whitworth and Carl Lawrence just 12 seconds apart, had wiped
out a 1-0 deficit and given CC a 3-1 lead over Boston University
entering the final frame.
What transpired is, to this day, probably the most glorious
single period in the history of Tiger Hockey.
Relentless in its pursuit of the title, Colorado College blistered
BU net minder Ike Bevins with 18 shots on goal and scored on
10 of them while treating the partisan crowd to a 13-4 victory.
All-America forward Chris Ray, who finished with four tallies
altogether, struck for three of them in the third-
period uprising while Ron Hartwell and Tony Frasca
each notched a pair. Whitworth, who added his
second of the contest, set up three others. Hartwell,
by the way, remains to this day the program’s all-
time leading goal producer with 112 overall for his
three-year career.
“Maybe we didn’t expect to win, but we sure wanted to. When we did, it was a real accomplishment – as unique a team experience as anyonewill ever have. We didn’t think of any one player getting more points or anything. It was just win, win. It was total team spirit, cooperation, coordination, and all the rest. That’s what you need to have.”
— Ron Hartwell, CC's all-time leading goal scorer
CHICK ROSSBOB SCARLETT
England students with backgrounds in high school hockey joined
the team, the strongest addition was Ernie Young of Saskatoon,
Saskatchewan. When Young returned in the fall of 1939 for his
second year at the school, he brought four more Canadian players
with him — Jack Chamney, John “Chick” Ross, Wilmer “Spike”
Wilson and Harold McClay — all from his home province. Bob
Scarlett of Quebec, an experienced goaltender, also enrolled at
Colorado College that year.
With Livingston at the helm, those players helped the
Tigers sweep the University of Michigan, 4-2 and 4-3, in
their first-ever intercollegiate series early during the 1939-
40 season. Colorado College also played games against
Colorado School of Mines, the Montana School of Mines
and the University of Southern California, champion of
the Pacific Coast League, that season. Enthusiasm reached
a feverish pitch among CC hockey supporters for the next
few years, with games at the World Arena selling out on a
regular basis. By winter of 1942, the Tigers had earned a
reputation as one of college hockey’s “Big Four,” along
with USC, the University of Illinois and Dartmouth.

The Evo lu t ion as a PowerhouseDue to World War II, no games were played in 1942-43 or ’43-44,
but the sport was rejuvenated at Colorado College and nationwide
in 1944-45. With the return of former players and the addition of
seven more Canadians, the Tigers quickly were on the rise again.
Cheddy Thompson, who came to Colorado Springs when he was
assigned to 2nd Air Force Head quarters here, took over the
coaching duties in the fall of 1945 and held the position for
the next decade.
In cooperation with the Broadmoor Hotel, Colorado College
sponsored the first National Collegiate Athletic Association Hockey
Championships at the end of the 1947-48 season. The tournament
would be held at the Ice Palace for the next decade, with CC
participating seven times — in 1948, ’49, ’50, ’51, ’52, ’55 and ’57.
Thompson was at the helm when CC won its first NCAA champi-
onship in 1950 and finished as runner-up in 1952 and ’55. He was
named national Coach of the Year in 1952 by the United States
Hockey Coaches Association.
In 1951, Colorado College helped
found the Mid-West Collegiate
Hockey League, which changed
its name to the Western Inter-
collegiate Hockey League in 1953.
Other charter members were the
University of Denver, Michigan,
Michigan State, Michigan Tech,
Minnesota and North Dakota. The
WIHL evolved to become the
Western Collegiate Hockey
Association in November of 1959,
with the present-day WCHA
consisting of five of its original
seven teams plus the University of
Alaska Anchorage, Bemidji State,
Minnesota-Duluth, Minnesota State, Nebraska-Omaha, St. Cloud
State and the University of Wisconsin.
Colorado College has competed in the NCAA championship game five times – winning it in 1950 and ’57.

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.

Western Collegiate Hockey Association,which the Tigers helped establish
more than six decades ago.
University, and now the new Division I/Big Ten program at PennState 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 tomake their debuts at the sport’s highest level in the near future. Two Colorado College products – Bill “Red” Hay with the ChicagoBlackhawks in 1961 and Doug Lidster with the New York Rangers in1994 as well with the Dallas Stars in 1999 – have had their namesengraved on the Stanley Cup. Tom Preissing reached the Cup finalswith 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 andScott 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 champi-
onship team was inducted in 1998. Hay, a former president of the
Calgary Flames, earlier became a charter inductee in April of 1995.
Doug Palazzari, who spent most of his professional career with Salt
Lake City of the Central Hockey League and in 1997 was honored as
the CHL’s all-time greatest player, became a member in 2000 after
serving as executive director of USA Hockey. 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 alum-
ni 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.

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
the national championship game.
The award was initiated more
than three decades ago, in 1981.
An impressive field of candidates, representing Division I schools
nationwide, typically emerges by mid-season and is narrowed down
to a Top 10 list a week or so before the NCAA playoffs get under
way. The Hobey Hat Trick, a list of three finalists who attend the
presentation ceremony, is announced prior to the Frozen Four. The
winner is kept secret until the moment his name is announced at
the ceremony.
Colorado College has
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.
Peter Sejna became the first Colorado College player ever to win the Hobey BakerMemorial Award after claiming a national scoring title in 2002-03. Marty Sertichbecame the second Tiger to win the Hobey Baker Award while claiming a national scoring crown in 2004-05.

Time to P i ck Up the S lackVeterans and Rookies Need to Step In and Fill the Voids
by Dave Moross
Losing 40 percent of the team’s scoring to graduation and other
attritional circumstances is nothing new for Colorado College. Just
as many of their colleagues nationwide, Scott Owens and his staff
face that challenge on an almost yearly basis. They simply look for
returning veterans to step up to the plate, reload with reinforce-
ments and move on.
It’s all part of the cycle.
So, when Owens sees names such as Jaden Schwartz, Gabe Guentzel
and Nick Dineen missing from CC’s 2012-13 roster, he looks at the
situation more as an opportunity than a cause for concern.
“It’s going to be a good mix of seniors all the
way through to the freshmen, and we’re proba-
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 newcom-
ers, 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 for-
wards. 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.
At the blue line, Russell Finch, at 6-feet, 205 pounds, and Michael
King, at 6-4, 230, add significant muscle and size to a defensive
corps led by seniors Mike Boivin and Joe Marciano. FInch is a two-
year veteran of the North American Hockey League (Fairbanks Ice
Dogs and St. Louis Bandits), while King has labored at the Junior A
level in both Alberta (Lloydminster Bobcats) and British Columbia
(Westside Warriors).
“Every one of these kids comes from a winning program,” Owens
said. “So there are those nuances, some of those intangibles, that
come with that. I think Cody Bradley has a chance to be a very
But his brother, Rylan, is back after leading Colorado College with
23 tallies as a junior. The older Schwartz, who has amassed 106
career points (39g,67a) while factoring in on the game-winning goal
in 24 of CC’s 60 victories the last three years, joins classmates
Andrew Hamburg, William Rapuzzi and Scott Winkler as the team’s
most experienced offensive threats up front. The latter three com-
bined for 48 points (14g,34a) in ‘11-12 and are hoping to emerge as
more dominant forces.
Slowed by off-season hip surgery earlier, Hamburg finished strong
with four tallies in the final month. Rapuzzi, who will serve as team
Junior defenseman Eamonn McDermott, who will serve as an alternate team captainthis season, hopes to join Mike Boivin in providing some offense from the blue line.
good, skilled player. Jared Hanson had a big-time season at Lincoln
last year. Hunter Fejes is a young bull who’s got a chance to play.
Maric is more of a role player who just won a championship with
Green Bay. The two defensemen, Finch and King, have the potential
to contribute as well.”
The group joins 20 returning players who, for the most part, will
need to assume new roles in the absence of key personnel from last
season. The most noticeable among the missing will be 2011-12 All-
American Schwartz, who led the team in scoring as a freshman
(17g,30a) and sophomore (15g26a) before signing a contract with
the St. Louis Blues last March.

captain, will try to regain the scoring touch that helped him click 21
times his first two campaigns before slipping to just three tallies as a
junior. Winkler, a third-round draft pick of the Dallas Stars in 2009,
has the potential to build on the 24 points (7g,17a) he put up during
his junior season despite a fracture in his hand that severely hindered
his ability to shoot for the last seven weeks of the 2011-12 campaign.
In addition to the early departure of Jaden Schwartz, along with
2012 graduates Dineen (14g,12a), Daid Civitarese (8g,2a) and Tim
Hall (5g,3a), CC also will remain without the services of left wing
Dakota Eveland (3g,5a) in 2012-13. Eveland, now a junior, under-
went neck surgery in March after an injury sidelined him for the
final 13 games of his recent sophomore season.
ultimately set the stage for CC to reclaim the Gold Pan in its rivalry
with the University of Denver.
“He had a really good year,” the coach said. “A lot of his goals were
big goals, so you tend to remember them, but I’d like to see him be
a 30-point guy next year – maybe something along the lines of 13
goals and 18 assists. He’s going to be given that opportunity.
Inside the blue line, the most conspicuous absentee will Guentzel, a
second-team All-WCHA selection whose 26 points (4g,22a) topped the
team’s “D” corp. Arthur Bidwill, who made 15 of his 20 appearances
last season from mid-January on, and Ted Behrend, who played in
only three games last season, also graduated, passing the torch to
Boivin, Marciano and junior Eamonn McDermott for new leadership.
While Guentzel typically played between 25 and 27 minutes a game,
does not anticipate depending on any one of those three to follow
suit. He does have expectations from them, however.
“It could be across the board
in terms of who’s going to contribute
and help make up the slack.”
— Scott Owens
Four of his classmates – Jeff Collett, Alexander Krushelnyski,
Michael Morin and Archie Skalbeck – will compete for spots on the
team’s top four lines with the four seniors, while sophomores Jordan
DiGiando, Charlie Taft and Scott Wamsganz battle with the group of
newcomers for a chance to contribute to the offensive attack.
“It could be across the board,” said Owens, “in terms of who’s going
to contribute and help make up the slack.”
Krushelnyski enjoyed somewhat of a breakout season in ’11-12, com-
piling 20 points (10g,10a) in 36 games, while Collett chipped in with
10 (5g,5a). After lighting the lamp nine times as a rookie in 2010-11,
Skalbeck slumped to a single goal in 31 outings as a sophomore. And,
if Morin can stay healthy, he should see an increase in ice time after
appearing in only 15 games his first two years as a Tiger.
Of the four returning juniors, Owens has the highest hopes for
Krushelnyski, whose penalty-shot goal in overtime early last December
Among Alexander Krushelnyski’s 10 goals as a sophomore in 2011-12 was the gamewinner against archrival Denver on a penalty shot in overtime.
“I’m not sure we’re going to have anybody who plays those kind of
minutes,” he said. “Ideally, we want to spread the minutes out more
evenly for everybody. I do think that Marciano and Boivin are going
to play very key roles as senior defensemen – Boivin a little more
offensively, and hopefully, Joe can regain a little more of his form
from his sophomore year, when he was a really, really strong defend-
ing defenseman.”
McDermott, who collected 14 points (2g,12a) in 44 outings as a
freshman in 2010-11, saw his whose offensive contribution slip to
10 (2g,8a) last season when he missed nine of CC’s 36 games due to
an injury. He joins seniors Marciano and Rylan Schwartz as alternate
captains in 2012-13.
Boivin established himself as a bona fide offensive threat in ’11-12,
scoring eight goals and nearly doubling his points total of the previ-
ous two years combined. Twenty-one (6g,15a) of his 25 points came
in league play, ranking him seventh among all WCHA defensemen,
ahead of teammate Guentzel. Rounding out the eight-man crew pro-
tecting goaltenders Joe Howe, Josh Thorimbert and Courtney
Lockwood this season, in addition to the two freshmen, are sopho-
mores Aaron Harstad, Peter Stoykewych and Ian Young. Harstad
logged six assists in 29 games as a rookie, while Stoykewych and
Young recorded three each in 26 and 10 appearances, respectively.

INTRODUCTION PROGRAM HISTORY MEET THE TIGERS A LOOK BACK ALL-TIME LEADERS & RECORDS TIGERS & RESULTS OF THE PAST
“Harstad and Stoykewych played a lot of minutes and I think they
showed pretty good improvement,” Owens said of the two
Winnipeg Jets draftees. “Harstad ended up playing with a lot of con-
fidence toward the end, and I thought he had a really good fresh-
man year. Peter ended up not getting as many minutes at the end of
the year because Bidwill was playing so well. There’s definitely a
place for Peter Stoykewych in our top six now. Ian Young was a little
bit the odd man out last year. But I think he’s working very hard
and that people are going to like him when they see him play on a
regular basis.”
Between the pipes, Colorado College simply will be looking for more
consistency out of the chute. After a 4-0 start in 2011-12, Howe fin-
ished 5-8-1 in net with a 3.48 goals-against average and .882 saves
percentage. In the
end, it turned out to
be a frustrating year
for the workhorse who
backstopped 35 victo-
ries for CC the previ-
ous two seasons com-
bined.
Thorimbert, on the
other hand, overcame
some early struggles,
caught fire in mid-
December and wound
up leading all WCHA
goaltenders with a
.735 winning percent-
age (12-4-1) and .928
saves ratio in league
play. He earned third-
team All-WCHA accolades and returns this fall with a two-year
record of 18-12-2 (.594), as well as a career GAA of 2.42.
“Joe’s a competitor,” Owens said of Howe. “He just battles and com-
petes. I know he’ll come back and want to put together a really good
senior year...Obviously, Josh (Thorimbert) is that younger guy who
made a pretty good statement the second half of the year. I was really
happy with what Courtney (Lockwood) contributed to the program,
too, as our third goaltender – a guy who worked extremely hard in
practice and somebody with whom we became comfortable.”
After entertaining the University of British Columbia in an exhibi-
tion on Sunday, Oct. 7, the Tigers officially open their final season as
a member of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association with a non-
conference series against Clarkston University on Oct. 12 and 13 at
the World Arena. They don’t actually start league action until the
first weekend of November, with a two-game set at Wisconsin.
Following a six-game home stand highlighted by back-to-back series
against North Dakota and Minnesota in early December, CC plays
nine of its next 11 games on the road through mid-February. The
only two home dates during that span are on Jan. 18 and 19, when
Minnesota Duluth visits Colorado Springs. In addition to the two
contests against Clarkston, the non-league slate includes an early trip
up-state New York for a pair of outings against Cornell University,
along with single games with Air Force at Cadet Ice Arena as well as
UMass-Lowell, Yale and New Hampshire at the CSWA.
Josh Thorimbert, upper right, returns for his junior year after leading allWCHA goaltenders with a .735 winning percentage (12-4-1) and .928saves percentage in conference play during the 2011-12 season.
Junior Archie Skalbeck and senior WilliamRapuzzi, left, both will look to find the back ofthe net more in 2012-13 after combining forjust four goals between them in ‘11-12.

KEN LANDAU PLAY-BY-PLAY BROADCASTER
Ken Landau, an award-winning 22-year veteran of the college hockey
broadcast scene, returns for his sixth season as official “Voice of the
Tigers” in 2012-13.
A 1982 graduate of Michigan State University, where he earned a
bachelor’s degree in telecommunciations, Landau called the play-by-
play for MSU hockey from 1979 through 1985, then again from 1990
through 1997. 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.
Landau has worked extensively as a sports talk-show host and television sports anchor and
reporter. In addition, he helped form a sports marketing company that published the first two
books ever devoted to the history of a college hockey program – “Awe Inspiring: The Storied
History of Spartan Hockey” and “Shot and A Goal: The Tradition of Wisconsin Badger Hockey.”
He remains extremely familiar with the WCHA, its style of play, its schools and its coaches.
A former loan officer for several mortgage companies in Michigan, Landau is self-employed
as president of his own consulting firm while away from the ice rink.

Directions to Colorado Springs World ArenaLocated in the south end of the Colorado Springs business district,
the World Arena is adjacent to Interstate 25, accessible via exit 138
at Circle Drive. From I-25, go west on Lake Avenue and turn left
(south) on Venetucci Blvd. From the Colorado Springs Airport, take
Powers Blvd. north to westbound Fountain Blvd., then branch onto
the Martin Luther King bypass to I-25 south.
Credentials & AdmittanceWorking press box credentials shall be issued only to accredited
newspaper, radio and television reporters. Credentials requested the
week of the game will be held for pick-up inside the media entrance
on the southeast side of the Colorado Springs World Arena. Please
display your pass at all times, as it is required for access to the press
box and locker room areas, as well as to the elevator connecting the
two. The press box is located at the top of the east-side stands. All
requests for credentials should be directed to:
ParkingParking passes for use in the general lot are available to members of
the media. Although these passes provide free admission to the lot,
they do not allow you to park in “permit” areas. Please avoid using
those areas, as your car will be ticketed or towed.
PhotographersCredentials must be arranged prior to each game through the
Colorado College athletic media relations office (719-389-6755 or
[email protected]). Photographers are permitted to
shoot from the penalty boxes and other selected locations in the
arena, but must check in at the working press box beforehand.
Radio Services/Telephone LinesThe center TV booth in the press box at the Colorado Springs World
Arena is equipped with one analog line and one ISDN line for a
station officially designated by the visiting team to be granted use
for its broadcast. Installation of additional lines or lines for other
stations must be approved by the CC athletic media relations office,
then arrangements made through Jon Berglund at CenturyLink
(1-800-301-9220, ext. 2, or [email protected]).
Coach & Player InterviewsInterviews 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.

A first-round draft pick of the St. Louis Blues in June 2010, when hewas chosen 14th overall, Jaden Schwartz became one of four formerColorado College standouts to make their National Hockey Leaguedebuts during the 2011-12 season.
Schwartz, who led the Tigers in scoring as a freshman and sophomorebefore turning pro, joined recent graduates Kris Fredheim, Chad Rauand Bill Sweatt in competing at the sport’s most elite level. Entering thecurrent 2012-13 campaign, 36 CC stars of the past had experiencedplaying 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 thenear future. Freshman forward Hunter Fejes became the program’s latest draft choice when the Phoenix Coyotes selected him in thesixth round last June.
While Schwartz and defenseman Mark Stuart are the only first-rounders ever to play for Colorado College, more than 75 current or former Tigers have had their namescalled in the NHL draft. The Boston Bruins made Stuart, now with the Winnipeg Jets, their No. 1 pick andthe league’s 21st overall in June 2003.

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
than six decades ago.
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
counterparts from the WCHA, the RedHawks and Broncos
will continue playing in their current league through the 2012-13 season.
The NCHC league headquarters is located right here in Colorado Springs, near the Broadmoor Hotel, in the same building that
houses our local Sports Corporation.
