ROGUES PRE-SEASON vs COLORADO, 1978




Recently Dave Morrison at nasljerseys.com sent me this article about a Rogues vs Colorado Caribou pre-season game in 1978.  This game was played March 25, 1978 in Colorado Springs and saw the Rogues lose 2-0 to the Caribou.  During the season, the Rogues did the sweep of Colorado, beating them 2-0 at Memphis and 1-0 in Colorado.  Very special thanks to Dave Morrison for the article.
