Campus lounge Luncheon - The Campus Lounge aka Worldwide Headquarters of the Denver Hockey Alumni Association is the site for this kick–off event. Join Owner Jim Wiste, (fresh off a hockey tour of Scandinavia with the Chicago Black Hawks Alumni Players) for a toast to the ‘Ol Crimson and Gold. Regale in old stories you’ve laughed at many times before and be sure to bring your spouse or significant other. They’ll have no idea what’s so funny! It’s a reunion, what did you expect!

Pep Rally! At the Embassy Suites - This pep rally is really just a woodsy with a better location! Yes, there will hors d’oeuvre and refreshing evening beverages. No, there will not be any Cheerleaders or organized cheering. That’s not our style.
Suggested attire… wear what you’d wear to the hockey game or out to dinner.

Friday night hockey - Denver vs. Vermont 7:30 Magness Arena We have arranged for a van to transport Denver hockey Alums from Embassy Suites to the Richie Center where your tickets will be on call. (You get as many tickets as people you registered.) Watch the #1 ranked Pios take on their eastern Powerhouse rivals, Vermont! Or skip the game and go to dinner with your friends. It’s your weekend, enjoy! Transportation is not provided for the return trip to the Embassy Suites.

Saturday Breakfast – As Registered Guests at Embassy Suites, you always enjoy a full cooked to order breakfast. Breakfast is Served from 7:30 -10:00 am. Join us in the reunion lounge after breakfast for a visit.

Lemon and Orange Shoot-out - You know the drill, skate in and score the first time down the ice and you’re in the Orange line. Miss the first time thru and you’re shooting for a Lemon! Don’t feel like lacin’ the skates up? Ok, we’ll also putt for the Lemon and orange on a putting green on the concourse in the Arena. Pick your venue, the ice or the putting green!

Alumni Game - Feelin’ hale and hearty? Join you fellow Denver hockey Alumni for a multigenerational scrimmage, just for the fun of it. Come on you’ve still got it! Just remember where you put it! Just bring your own equipment, (including helmets) sign the release form before you step on the ice and relive old glories once again. Times for the Game and the Shootout will be announced prior to dropping the puck!

60th Anniversary Denver Hockey Celebration – This is it! The big one! Join your friends and teammates as we celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Denver Hockey.

In addition, some Special recognitions and the ceremonial puck drop by Doug McKinnon , the Pioneers first Captain, and Norman Cash our other 1st year teammate at the game starting at 7:00 PM. Players will be introduced on the ice between periods.
Suggested attire: Business casual

Post game reception – Meet the current varsity team and enjoy some dessert and coffee after the victory over Vermont!

Weather: Mostly Autumn with a chance of winter! It could be a beautiful sunny day, or we could have snow up to your knees. My suggestion is watch the Weather Channel before you pack.

Altitude: If you haven’t been to Denver in a long time, the air has gotten thinner. Or maybe we’re just getting older! The rule of thumb is for every thousand feet of altitude the sun is 3% stronger, the stairs are 33% harder to climb and the drinks are 33% stronger.

Baggage Fees: Most airlines charge a fee for checking luggage these days. If you feel the need to pack more than one small carry-on suitcase to be suitably attired for this reunion, you are going to be over dressed! Don’t pay those baggage fees just to impress us, we know you to well anyway!

Ground transportation – From Denver International Airport. We suggest you call the Super Shuttle. The Embassy Suites Denver Southeast is 0n their route. Call 800-258-3826. The fair is about $19 each, one way. Or book on line at www.supershuttle.com
