After capturing back-to-back NCAA National Championships in 2004 and 2005, the Denver Pioneers have missed the NCAA Tournament the past two seasons and are hungry for a return trip to college hockey's most coveted tournament and a berth to the 2008 Frozen Four at Pepsi Center in Denver.

Head coach George Gwozdecky marks his 14th season behind the bench for the seven-time NCAA National Champion Denver Pioneers. Since Gwozdecky's arrival on the DU campus in 1994, the Pioneers have solidified themselves as a perennial top-10 program. The Pioneers have captured two NCAA National Championships, three WCHA regular-season titles and two WCHA playoff titles during Gwozdecky's 13-year tenure.
