The Denver Pioneers' men's hockey team has named Ben Scrivens team manager, Richard and Kitzia Goodman Head Coach David Carle announced on Thursday.

Scrivens, 31, is recently retired after having played eight (8) seasons, including part of five (5) in the NHL with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Los Angeles Kings, Edmonton Oilers and Montreal Canadiens. During his tenure as an NHL goaltender, Scrivens logged a 47-64-17 record with a 2.92 goals against average (GAA) and .905 save percentage. The Spruce Grove, Alberta native also played in the ECHL, American Hockey League (AHL) and Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). Internationally, he represented Canada at the 2014 IIHF World Championship and the 2018 Winter Olympics where he helped his country to a bronze medal with a 1.61 GAA and .929 SV% in three (3) games.

"We are excited to add someone to our staff with the playing pedigree that Ben has," Carle said. "While he pursues his masters at DU, he will be able to add a valuable perspective to our staff."

Prior to starting his professional career, Scrivens played four (4) years at Cornell University where he averaged a 2.00 GAA and a .927 SV% in 117 games. Scrivens was named a second-team All-American in 2009 and a first-team All-American in 2010, the same year in which he was recognized as ECAC Goaltender of the Year and tabbed a Hobey Baker Award finalist.
