Avs (and Deerfield) win!

A night of hockey at the Pepsi Center did not disappoint as the home town Avalanche tied the game with their goalie pulled with 1:45 remaining in regulation, then won in the shootout after a frantic OT.

 Kudos to our attendees:
Top Row LtoR: Jamie Luckenbill '03, Rand Singleton '10 and friend
Front Row: Gus Spaulding '05 and fiancee, Hannah Christian '02 and friend, Carolyn Goltra '98

Rand and Hannah are in Law School (CU and DU respectively) Jamie works in Oil and Gas, Gus is in Finance and Carolyn is in manufacturing.  Great group!

Shout out to Rand Singleton '10 for attending his first alumni event and for sporting not only his scarf but his class tie as well!!!

The Boston Bruins will visit the Avalanche at the Pepsi Center at 8 PM. We have 12 tickets already purchased and we can certainly add a casual gathering before the game once we know who the attendees are.  Look for the usual email invitation from Deerfield but act quickly due to limited supply.
