DU returns to the pinnacle of college hockey after failing to qualify for the national tournament a year ago.
Back in 2004, his older brother, Matt, was a freshman on the DU team that won a national title. But the younger Carle wasn’t in attendance when the Pioneers hoisted the trophy after a dramatic 1-0 victory over Maine.
“I remember as a 14-year-old that I was very disappointed because my parents did not bring me to Boston to watch the game,” Carle said. “I was watching at home with family and friends. … An unbelievable year. I think a championship that put Denver back on the map in the modern college hockey landscape.”
Carle won’t miss this next DU flight to Beantown. The 32-year-old head coach has an opportunity to write another proud chapter of Pioneer hockey history next week. The Pioneers face Michigan inside Boston’s TD Garden for a spot in the NCAA title game. Wolverines coach Mel Pearson and Carle previewed the matchup on Tuesday during a teleconference with reporters. It marks the first meeting between the pair of traditional college hockey powers since 2002.
“I’m really impressed with their team,” Pearson said. “They’ve got a nice blend of skill, older guys, younger guys. They know what it takes to win. They’ve got a lot of winning under David Carle there. He’s done a fabulous job, he and his staff.”
