This "yahoo" is Ryan....  Don't know his last name..  He works at Lynah (duh)...

In the beginning......


of Dave's retirement he would show up on Friday and Saturday to do (somewhat ceremonial) celebrity  ice resurfacing.  I don't remember when this ended.

I'm also not sure when it ended, but the following article, written in 2014, indicates that it was still happening then:

"Nulle retired as assistant rink manager in the spring of 2009, accepting a buyout from the university along with 423 fellow employees, but as part of the program he has been allowed to keep his weekend job on game nights. He said Susan Murphy, CU vice president for student and academic services, has been instrumental in his being able to continue in his role."

As a recent alum, I believe Dave stopped driving the ice resurfacer (it's not a Zamboni) in the spring of '17. He still is at some games, but Ryan drives it now.

Grady and Topher kept talking about how the ice sucks. Hmmm.

Cop at Lynah

And now they need to replace Ryan who is leaving.

"Dave, the former Roby Steamer driver" doesn't have the same ring to it...
