The Colorado Mammoth went into the 2013 season with a tough goaltender situation, with veteran Chris Levis coming in as the starter and Matt Roik as the backup.

Komer Blog: Blizzard Fall to Brampton
I was supposed to get the day off on Saturday. Derek Collins played well as my relief in our previous game (when I somehow ended up in net as a ghost), so he got the nod for Saturday’s game against Brampton.

Blue Devils Unable to Avenge NCAA Tourney Loss to Pioneers
Durham, NC-There was a lot of concern on how the Denver Pioneers would find offensive firepower after attackmen Mark Matthews (47g, 17a) and Alex Demopoulos (20g, 27a) graduated last year after losing to eventual champion Loyola in the NCAA tourney. However, Saturday’s game against the Duke Blue Devils proved that getting an offense going wouldn’t be a problem in 2013. Denver exceeded their 2012 average goals per game (12.31) as…
