Keri Herman raced toward the jump going backward. She hit it fast and launched into the air. Herman whipped her body to the right, spun around 720 degrees (two complete revolutions) and grabbed one of her skis. She glided back to earth, landed backward and sped off to the next […]
Back in New York, Faimie Kingsley wasn’t happy with the academics at her local high school. So the Pioneers volleyball phenom talked her parents into letting her attend boarding school, even going so far as to fill out the financial aid applications on her own. She landed at The Hotchkiss […]
When the University of Denver men’s basketball team traveled through Spain during summer 2010, it was a dream vacation for most Pioneers.

Fresh off its first postseason bid in a decade, the Denver women’s basketball team looks to build on a 2010–11 season that saw head coach Erik Johnson tally the most victories in his three-year tenure at the helm and record the program’s first victory over a ranked opponent during its […]

Drew Shore could not have been blamed if he had opted for a one-way ticket out of Denver earlier this year. The trend in big-time college hockey, after all, is for elite players to jump into the professional ranks as soon possible. As the leading scorer for the University of […]
There is not a single person in head coach George Gwozdecky’s vaunted hockey program that would ever be caught reveling in a teammate’s misfortune — especially among the team’s goaltenders. The netminders are a tight fraternity, often relying on one another for technical advice and emotional support after tough games. […]
It is the sort of trip down memory lane George Gwozdecky simply has been too busy to take. Sitting on the cusp of his 400th victory as the head coach of the University of Denver hockey team, Gwozdecky is about to begin his 18th season at DU. He has collected […]
