Denver had a scheduling conflict and pulled out of the Freeze-Out a
little while ago. The Pioneers are playing UAA that weekend. With the
tourney being moved to Thanksgiving weekend this year, it apparently
made it harder to find a WCHA team that had that slot open. So I
wouldn't blame the tourney organizers or Denver; it just seemed to be
one of those things (I know the WCHA had a heck of a time working out
its schedule this year with the addition of UAA). Toronto was a
natural choice to replace DU, as Jim said because of the connections
with UNH and the solid performance UT has had in previous Freeze-Outs.
