Interview with Gary Smith

I did an interview for Class VI with Coach Gary Smith. Check it out!

Keel Waived

Colorado has waived Stephen Keel. With the rosters being downsized this year, poor Keel got caught in a numbers game. The Rapids signed their draft pick Ross Schunk and are seemingly making way for Scott Palguta.

Or is not printing the letters on the jersey just a cost cutting measure?
