We've been fortunate enough to have many former teammates and good friends play professional hockey. As most people know the career of a professional athlete is terminal and the majority of us have to embark on our second careers once our playing days are over. Our former classmate and captain at Colorado College, Lee Sweatt enjoyed a 5 year pro career spanning the NHL, KHL, SM Liga, AHL and the EBEL. Lee was kind enough to take some time out of his schedule to talk about his time at CC, pro hockey and what he is up to now.
HC Orli Znojmo is the only team based in the Czech Republic in the Erste Bank Eishockey Liga (EBEL). Traditionally they are one of the more offensive teams in the league, with lots of skilled forwards who have a knack for scoring goals.
It was our first game back at the Broadmoor World Arena this weekend. Colorado College opened up their season with a 6-2 exhibition win over the University of Calgary. It was a little weird watching warm ups from the bench and the game from the press box, but it brought back a lot of great memories.
