University of Denver hockey recruits Daniel Doremus of Aspen and Josiah Didier of Littleton will be Pioneers this fall, a year earlier than originally scheduled.
The two products of the Colorado Thunderbirds’ triple-A midget program are coming off excellent rookie seasons in the United States Hockey League, North America’s premier junior-A league. Doremus, 19, is a 6-foot-1, 195-pound forward. Didier, 18, is a 6-2, 200-pound defenseman.
Outlaws pull trigger on trade.
Denver Outlaws general manager Brian Reese said his Major League Lacrosse team boosted its “offensive firepower” with the acquisition of midfielder Peet Poillon from the Chesapeake Bayhawks in exchange for attacker Dan Hardy.
Poillon ranked third in MLL goals (24) and fourth in assists (15) last season as an all-league player. Hardy was the 2009 MLL rookie of the year.

Eagles squeak past Rush.
A raucous crowd at the Budweiser Events Center in Loveland waited a long time — until 1:48 was left in the game — to see what they wanted, a Colorado Eagles goal, as Riley Nelson scored to give the Eagles a 1-0 win over Rapid City in Game 7 of the Central Hockey League’s Turner Conference final.
On the game-winning goal, Daymen Rycroft took a shot from between the circles and Nelson, stationed at the right side of the crease, was able to put home the rebound.
Games 1 and 2 of the Presidents’ Cup Finals vs. Bossier-Shreveport will be played in Loveland next Friday and Saturday.
