Berlo's Letter to Denver Hockey Fans Ahead of Friday's Tournament Opener

Denver Hockey Fans,
 
All season long, with every goal and every moment, we have stood TOGETHER celebrating the heart, the passion, and the pride of the game we love: Denver Hockey.
 
All season long, YOU packed Magness Arena, ranking us 5th in the nation in total attendance. All season long, YOU fueled this program, pushing us forward, driving us onward, and helping launch another NCAA Championship run as we chase number 11—because at Denver, excellence isn't a goal, it's the standard.
 
From a holiday weekend takeover at Ball Arena for the Hall of Fame Game, to our unforgettable run to the NCHC Championship to capture the National Cup, YOU created a precedent that will be hard to beat at other campus sites for years to come. YOU set the bar. YOU raised the expectation.
 
From the sound of Country Roads ringing through the third period, to the collective swagger and sway that unites every section, YOU didn't just cheer—YOU built tradition. From your seats, your chants, and your belief, YOU created a home-ice advantage that few can match.
 
Denver Hockey is not what it is today without YOU.
 
We are beyond grateful for YOU—our fans, our family, our foundation. Thank you for your passion, your loyalty, and your unwavering support.
 
Together, we are Denver Hockey.
Together, we are the best in the Nation.
 
Enjoy the postseason ride, and as always, Go Pios!
 
Josh Berlo
Athletic Director
