It’s no stretch to say Marc Cheverie is one of DU’s top goaltenders of all time.

The 1987 birth year spent three seasons with the Pioneers (2007-10) and etched his name all over the place in the school’s record book.

His save percentage of .926 ranks second all-time, his goals-against average of 2.21 is fifth best and his 10 shutouts are fourth most. He also owns the longest shutout streak in DU history at 223:51 – almost four games – spanning from Oct. 9-30 in 2009.

The 2009-10 season was his finest as he went 24-6-1 with a 2.08 GAA (fourth-best in school history) and a .932 save percentage (the second best season mark at DU). He also had six shutouts.

A seventh-round selection of the Florida Panthers in 2006, Marc played a remarkable 40 games in his first full season as a starter (2008-09) after barely playing as a freshman. Cheverie finished his Pioneers career with a 48-18-16 record, and at the rate he was going he would have finished third in wins and would be in the top five in games played.

He capped his four-year professional career with the Colorado Eagles in 2013-14.

Marc was gracious enough to correspond with me this summer and reminisce about his time at DU.

What are you doing now, and where are you doing it?

I am at the commercial real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield in Halifax, Nova Scotia. My title is Occupier services and specialize in helping tenants identify and align strategic business, financial, and operational objectives with real estate requirements.

What was your favorite memory (or memories) what at DU?

Most of my favorite memories from DU involved the guys on the team and some of the locker room antics. The championships or accolades were all memorable, but I reminisce about the social aspect of the team and University in general, many of those stories I probably shouldn’t share, so for the sake of this question winning the (WCHA) Final 5 in 2008 was an awesome experience.

I remember getting my first start as in February of my freshman year, I remember the Denver Cups and the league championship. In the end though, when you play with guys like Jon Cook, Jesse Martin, Tyler Bozak and Joey Brehm among others there were a lot of hilarious moments throughout our time at DU. You could ask me that question 20 times and I’d be able to have a different answer every time. Needless to say, we had a lot of fun.

If you could go back and do something differently, what would that be?

I honestly don’t think I would do anything differently for my time at DU. Maybe wish I had stayed for another year, but at the same time I didn’t have much else to prove at that level of hockey, and I had earned my degree. I will say that my time at DU was the most fun I had playing the game and it certainly was hard to replicate in professional hockey. If I were to change anything hockey-wise I would have stayed another year. As far as school went I wish I had of taken advantage of some of the internship opportunities DU provides its students.

What was your favorite aspect of the city of Denver?

I loved the scenery in Denver, the weather, the restaurants, the people. I loved it all, it’s such an amazing city. If I could live one place, hands down that’s where it would be. I love Halifax, but Denver will always be my home away from home.

Was was your favorite non-hockey aspect of DU?

That would have to be the people as well. We had a good group of people we generally hung around with while we there. Some were athletes, some in fraternities or sororities. A lot of those people I still consider close friends and am fortunate enough to run into them at the odd wedding these days. How times have changed.
