For about 58 minutes, the Colorado Avalanche played a fantastic game at Canada Life Center in Winnipeg. The problem for the Avs?

Ben was a golden retriever who gained fame for regularly accompanying Herbstreit to games and even appearing on set and the sideline. Herbstreit, who calls college football on ESPN and NFL games on Amazon Prime Video, posted on X that cancer had spread through his dog’s organs and “there was nothing left we could do — we had to let him go.” The 55-year-old former Ohio State quarterback said he’s had dogs his whole life but “Ben was 1 on 1.” Ben last traveled to Bloomington, Indiana, for the Hoosiers’ game against Washington on Oct.
