Cobras Get Gowzdecky

(As a life long CC Tigers fan this is tough for me to write. I grew up knowing, just knowing, that DU Sucks! Everything about them SUCKED! Except maybe their great tradition, coaches, players and academics. Yeah. Other than that, oh how they suck! But they do make wonderful rivals and CC Hockey wouldn't be CC Hockey without DU).

Here is Coach Gwozdecky, last year, watching DU thump Air Force

Denver University head hockey coach, George Gwozdecky, was fired Monday after 19 seasons in charge of one of the most successful college hockey programs in the country. Gwozdecky's Pioneers went 443-267-64, won two national championships, 03-04 & 04-05, had only two losing campaigns, 97-98 & 99-00, and won twenty or more games for the last twelve seasons. In short, the man was one hell of a coach. Plus. PLUS, when his players stayed for 4 years they graduated. So, obviously this man had to go! What a menace!

DU at CC in November of 2004. CC won 3-1.
DU won the 2nd of their back to back championships
later that season.

Great rivalry. Great tradition. Great game.

Denver Athletic Director, Peg Bradley-Doppes, has not yet given a reason for Gowzdecky's firing. Whatever she finally comes up with it won't be good enough to justify his termination.  Hope DU sucks under it's new, still to be hired, coach and Peg Bradey-Doppes gets kicked to the curb as a result of this. 

Another great thing about Gwozdecky was he allowed
one of his healthy-scratch players at last year's
Air Force game wear these shoes!
Look at these shoes! Just look at them!

Vaya con Dios coach. Best of luck in your next job. May you'll be able to go out on your terms with that one.

Coach Gwozdecky walks off to greener pastures.
