CHICAGO<\/b> — As a kid growing up near Denver, Troy Terry was a Denver Pioneers fan.<\/p>\n

Troy Terry dreamed of becoming a Denver Pioneer.<\/p>\n

He did grow up to put on the Denver jersey. And Saturday not only culminated in what for any player would be a dream season, but also in achieving something few have accomplished.<\/p>\n

Terry became just the third player ever to win both an NCAA championship and a World Junior Championship gold medal in the same season.<\/p>\n

The most recent was Chris Kreider, who won both tournaments in 2010 as a Boston College freshman.<\/p>\n

The other was a player Terry grew up watching, Denver defenseman Matt Carle, who won gold in 2004 and the first of Denver’s back-to-back national championships that same year.<\/p>\n

Minutes after Denver’s 3-2 win over Minnesota Duluth, it was still sinking in for Terry, who was sitting quietly as reporters swarmed several of his teammates after the team’s locker room celebration.<\/p>\n

“It’s so surreal,” Terry said about winning both. “I think the World Juniors was just starting to hit me.”<\/p>\n

But as he spoke, the impact of winning the national championship started to hit him.<\/p>\n

“The World Juniors was incredible, but I don’t know if it tops this. It’s a very special feeling,” Terry said.<\/p>\n

To win it having fulfilled a childhood dream to play for Denver has made it even more special for Terry.<\/p>\n

“This was so awesome to be able to win with guys I go to school with and we’re all so close,” he said. “Especially a team I grew up watching win it in ’04 and ’05. And to be able to bring it back to Denver is pretty incredible.<\/p>\n

“It’s definitely an honor. I’ll remember this year for the rest of my life.”<\/p>\n

A dream season?<\/p>\n

“It’s definitely been the best year of hockey of my life,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
