Don't blink. Another hockey season has arrived. And, unless you're paying close attention from the very outset, you'll run the risk of missing some pretty exciting stuff with regard to Colorado College. Itching for a fresh start after last season's disappointing finish, the Tigers stare opportunity in the eye right off the bat in 2007-08 with early two-game series against perennial powerhouses Minnesota, New Hampshire and North Dakota.

Now in his ninth season as head coach at Colorado College, Scott Owens has reserved a special niche in the annals of Tiger Hockey, having won more games than any of his 12 predecessors in the program's 70-year history. Count 'em up. Eight seasons, 195 victories. Not to mention two regular-season championships in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, six consecutive trips to the league's Final Five and five appearances in the NCAA tournament including a Frozen Four berth in 2005.
