Spring Update

Thanks again goes out to all who helped make the 06-07 season such a great success. The Alumni game was great fun as the wiley, veteran alumni team destroyed the non-grads 21-7. At the awards banquet to follow, team awards were handed out: Head Intern Stephanie Sadler won the William Bach Award "given in recognition of an outstanding individual striving for the advancement of the CSU Ice Hockey organization." Team Assistant Captain and graduating senior Luke Smith won the Edwin M. Rosser Cup "for dedication and the strongest work ethic." The USA Hockey NCAA and ACHA coaches meeting took place in Florida last month and a few Ram players recieved some recognition. Specifically, Team Captain Jordan Stover, for the second season in a row, earned 1st Team All-American Honors. Team point leader Tim Stiller earned 2nd Team All-Western Region and strong man Jake McFarland earned 3rd Team All-Western Region. Congratulations to all those recognized for their efforts. Congratulations also goes to all graduating Ram seniors as well for their contributions to the team over the years. A special thank you to graduation senior Jared Hillier who has played an absolutely essential role in team leadership and adminstration as Club President and Vice President during his stay with the team. Good luck to all those transitioning into their professional careers and "old-man" leagues.

The team would also like to thank the City of Fort Collins and Mayor Doug, City Manager Darin Atteberry, and Executive Director of Campus Life at CSU, Anne Hudgens for their recognition of the CSU Ice Hockey Program as a runner-up for the 2006 Fort Collins Community Civility Award. This annual event features awards for CSU students, community members, business leaders, and groups who have shown a commitment to neighborliness, civility, and community service. The ceremony occured in the City Council Chambers in early April. The team's selfless service to the community in hosting the Sam Spady Firemen vs. Police Charity Hockey game last November sparked the nomination process.
