Hobey Baker (cont)

MATT CARLE WON THE HOBEY BAKER!!!!!!!!!! It was amazing. I went with a friend to The Lazy Dog, the only place in Denver actually showing the ceremony. It turned out that the whole hockey team had planned an outing and had reserved a room for DU fans. The show was 30 minutes long. It had spots on each of the three finalists. They actually got Brian Elliott to do a moosecall, followed by his father doing one...absolutely hilarious! When they announced Matt's name a great cheer came from every person in the room! People were clapping and cheering right up until he started to make his speech, then you could have heard a pin drop in that room! He made the classiest speech I have ever heard. He congratulated the other two finalists and wished them well, thanked the team, his parents and family, and everybody else. It was just so nice. A great honor for him and the University of Denver. I don't think I have ever seen Coach Gwozdecky so happy! It was just so amazing...
