Christian Del Bianco helped the team to a 6-0 run in the latter half of the season and to the team's first-ever semifinal appearance while posting a career-best 8.77 goals-against average.

Del Bianco is four assists away from reaching 100 career assists and one win away from 60 career wins.

Colorado returns its top two scorers from last season. Ryan Lee collected 95 points (36G, 59A) and New Westminster native Will Malcom notched 81 points (35G, 46A).
