A Trip Down Memory Lane

I was looking through some of my hockey cards yesterday and found these beauties. As we found out this week, the Florida Panthers have re-signed the tireless wonder Jaromir Jagr for another season. The fact that Jagr is still playing at a high level in the NHL is remarkable.  I would credit his offseason training regime. Next season, Jagr will be 45 years old. Also, check out my Denver Pioneers head coach Jim Montgomery.

Looks like DU has their new head coach. Montgomery was an assistant coach at RPI and is the current head coach of the USHL's Dubuque Fighting Saints. This is an interesting development. Montgomery also played hockey in the NHL with the Blues, Canadiens, Stars, Flyers and Sharks.

Denver U. did not name interim hockey coach. Montgomery is their first choice. Denver offered to beat Maine to it. Last coach made mid 300k
