The University of Denver's hockey program took another big hit today when sophomore forward Patrick Wiercioch signed a three-year entry-level deal with the NHL's Ottowa Senator's. Four of the five best players for Denver have now departed. Two to graduation and two by going pro. Wiercioch had 4 goals and 20 assists this season for the Pioneers and was a first-team all-WCHA selection.
"We would like to congratulate Patrick and his family on his decision to turn pro," DU head coach George Gwozdecky said. "We were fortunate to have Patrick join our program when David Carle was forced to retire from hockey. Since early in his freshman year, Patrick became a dynamic offensive player for us as well as an outstanding student. We wish Patrick continued success at the next level."
"I would like to thank the Denver coaches, support staff and professors for an amazing two-year experience at Denver," Wiercioch said.
