My goal for this photo gallery was to highlight the behind-the-scenes work that goes with DU hockey, particularly the equipment staff, from leaving for the Frozen Four and putting patches and stickers on, to being there, winning the National Championship, and coming back to DU and the mess our room was. While most people only see the games, these images highlight the preparation, organization, and cleanup required, and the daily routines that happen off the ice. From the locker room to clean up and set up, to equipment details and the Frozen Four environment, every part plays a role. As ESPN said during the championship run, “the standard is the standard, and the standard is Denver,” and these photos show what that standard looks like every day.
