St. Louis Blues hockey player Jaden Schwartz ’14 became the third former Colorado College hockey player to win the Stanley Cup when the Blues defeated the Boston Bruins, 4-1, on June 12 in Game 7 of the 2019 Stanley Cup Final.

Schwartz, who had two assists in the series-clinching victory, is the first former Tiger to hoist the Cup since Doug Lidster ’83 in 1999 with the Dallas Stars. Lidster also won it with the New York Rangers in 1994.

The only other former CC player to win the Stanley Cup is Bill “Red” Hay ’58 as a member of the 1961 Chicago Blackhawks.

Schwartz played two seasons at Colorado College and posted 88 points in 60 games. He finished second with 12 goals and tied for third with 20 points in the 2019 NHL playoffs.

Current CC Head Coach Mike Haviland won an NHL title as an assistant coach with the Blackhawks in 2010, while former head coach Bob Johnson led the 1991 Pittsburgh Penguins to the Stanley Cup.
