Craig Patrick
Craig Patrick, who graduated in 1969 with a BA in Economics, used his four years of experience on the Pioneer ice hockey team for both a decade-long professional career and a place in the history brooks. As a member of Herb Brooks’ coaching staff, Craig was behind the bench for the 1980 “Miracle On Ice,” where the U.S. men’s hockey team pulled off a stunning Olympic upset against the Soviet Union. He followed up that success with stints as DU’s athletic director and as general manager for two NHL teams, the Pittsburgh Penguins and the New York Rangers.
