1995-96 National Runner-Up Hockey Team and Former Goalie Eddie Mio Selected to Colorado Springs Sports Hall of Fame

The 1995-96 Colorado College hockey team and former Tiger great Eddie Mio have been selected for induction into the Colorado Springs Sports Hall of Fame.
 
The 2023 induction ceremony, an event of the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation, will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 24, at the Broadmoor World Arena.
 
The '95-96 hockey team set the school record for most wins in a season, a record that still stands, and advanced to the NCAA Division I national championship game before falling to Michigan, 3-2, in overtime. The Tigers posted a 33-5-4 overall record and a 26-2-4 mark in league play, producing their third consecutive Western Collegiate Hockey Association regular-season title under head coach Don Lucia.
 
Led by team captain Eric Rud and All-Americans Peter Geronazzo and Ryan Bach, the Tigers appeared in the national title game for the third time in program history and first since winning the championship in 1957.
 
Mio, meanwhile, played goalie for the Tigers from 1972-76 and holds the school record for most saves in a single game with 72 against Wisconsin on Nov. 17, 1972. He is No. 4 on the school's career list with 3,047 saves and was named All-American and All-WCHA his junior and senior years. 
 
Following his tenure at Colorado College, Mio played 214 games in the National Hockey League with the Edmonton Oilers, New York Rangers and Detroit Red Wings.  
 
The Class of 2023 also includes Olympic Speedskating Gold Medalist Apolo Ohno; former Mountain West Conference commissioner Craig Thompson; UCCS softball athlete Crystal Krebs; Coronado High School four-sport star Jessika Stratton Caldwell; Mitchell High School three-sport athlete Terry Miller and the 1980 Palmer High School Girls Swim Team.
