2006-07: The freshman finished tied eighth on his team in scoring and fifth in penalty minutes.
2007-08: After a solid second season at the University of Denver, Gifford missed the last five games of his season from a high-ankle injury sustained during a practice. The forward was named to the All-WHCA Academic team. The Pioneers’ forward played on the point during the powerplay and split time on the second and third lines.
