Crimson & Gold: The Denver Pioneers' Magical Run to the 2004 National Championship

Crimson & Gold: The Denver Pioneers' Magical Run to the 2004 National Championship follows the Pioneers through their incredible, unpredictable drive to the program's first national championship in 35 years.

Go behind the scenes and learn the thoughts of the players and coaching staff as the Pioneers rallied from a two-goal deficit in the national semifinals against Minnesota-Duluth, and why, at the end of their incredible journey, there was little doubt they would hold off a late Maine power play in the title game to secure the program's sixth national championship. Then join the celebration as Crimson & Gold follows the raucous Denver homecoming that greeted the team and their hard-earned trophy.

The electricity that surrounded the Pioneers throughout their NCAA tournament run, from their thrilling victories against Miami of Ohio and North Dakota in the NCAA West Regional to the frenzied atmosphere of the Frozen Four, is recaptured through the insightful writing of Pat Rooney who covered the team all season for the Rocky Mountain News.

Included in Crimson & Gold are comprehensive stat pages, biographies on each national championship player, and recaps of DU's glorious hockey history, all wrapped in a volume bursting with an impressive collection of action photos.
